LeetCode in Kotlin

995. Minimum Number of K Consecutive Bit Flips

Hard

You are given a binary array nums and an integer k.

A k-bit flip is choosing a subarray of length k from nums and simultaneously changing every 0 in the subarray to 1, and every 1 in the subarray to 0.

Return the minimum number of k-bit flips required so that there is no 0 in the array. If it is not possible, return -1.

A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,0], k = 1

Output: 2

Explanation: Flip nums[0], then flip nums[2].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,0], k = 2

Output: -1

Explanation: No matter how we flip subarrays of size 2, we cannot make the array become [1,1,1].

Example 3:

Input: nums = [0,0,0,1,0,1,1,0], k = 3

Output: 3

Explanation:

Flip nums[0],nums[1],nums[2]: nums becomes [1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0]

Flip nums[4],nums[5],nums[6]: nums becomes [1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0]

Flip nums[5],nums[6],nums[7]: nums becomes [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]

Solution

class Solution {
    fun minKBitFlips(nums: IntArray, k: Int): Int {
        val n = nums.size
        val pref = IntArray(n)
        for (i in 0 until n) {
            if (i == 0) {
                if (nums[i] == 0) {
                    pref[i]++
                }
            } else {
                pref[i] = pref[i - 1]
                val flips = pref[i] - if (i - k >= 0) pref[i - k] else 0
                if (flips % 2 == nums[i]) {
                    if (i + k > n) {
                        return -1
                    }
                    pref[i]++
                }
            }
        }
        return pref[n - 1]
    }
}
