leetcode - 2139. Minimum Moves to Reach Target Score

KpLn_HJL2024-12-25 8:25

Description

You are playing a game with integers. You start with the integer 1 and you want to reach the integer target.

In one move, you can either:

Increment the current integer by one (i.e., x = x + 1).
Double the current integer (i.e., x = 2 * x).

You can use the increment operation any number of times, however, you can only use the double operation at most maxDoubles times.

Given the two integers target and maxDoubles, return the minimum number of moves needed to reach target starting with 1.

Example 1:

复制代码

Input: target = 5, maxDoubles = 0
Output: 4
Explanation: Keep incrementing by 1 until you reach target.

Example 2:

复制代码

Input: target = 19, maxDoubles = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: Initially, x = 1
Increment 3 times so x = 4
Double once so x = 8
Increment once so x = 9
Double again so x = 18
Increment once so x = 19

Example 3:

复制代码

Input: target = 10, maxDoubles = 4
Output: 4
Explanation: Initially, x = 1
Increment once so x = 2
Double once so x = 4
Increment once so x = 5
Double again so x = 10

Constraints:

复制代码

1 <= target <= 10^9
0 <= maxDoubles <= 100

Solution

The optimal way to get to the target would be: increase to a certain point, and double it to get to the target. So to do this, we start from the target. If it's an odd number, use one increment operation to reduce it by 1. If it's even and we have double operations, divide it by 2.

Time complexity: min ⁡ ( m a x D o u b l e s , log ⁡ ( t a r g e t ) ) \min(maxDoubles, \log(target)) min(maxDoubles,log(target))

Space complexity: o ( 1 ) o(1) o(1)

Code

class Solution:
    def minMoves(self, target: int, maxDoubles: int) -> int:
        res = 0
        while target > 1 and maxDoubles > 0:
            if target & 1 == 1:
                target -= 1
            else:
                target //= 2
                maxDoubles -= 1
            res += 1
        return res + target - 1
