Problem Statement

You are given an integer array groups, where groups[i] represents the size of the ith group. You are also given an integer array elements. Your task is to assign one element to each group based on the following rules: An element at index j can be assigned to a group i if groups[i] is divisible by elements[j]. If there are multiple elements that can be assigned, assign the element with the smallest index j. If no element satisfies the condition for a group, assign -1 to that group. Return an integer array assigned, where assigned[i] is the index of the element chosen for group i, or -1 if no suitable element exists. Note: An element may be assigned to more than one group. Example 1: Input: groups = [8,4,3,2,4], elements = [4,2] Output: [0,0,-1,1,0] Explanation: elements[0] = 4 is assigned to groups 0, 1, and 4. elements[1] = 2 is assigned to group 3. Group 2 cannot be assigned any element. Example 2: Input: groups = [2,3,5,7], elements = [5,3,3] Output: [-1,1,0,-1] Explanation: elements[1] = 3 is assigned to group 1. elements[0] = 5 is assigned to group 2. Groups 0 and 3 cannot be assigned any element. Example 3: Input: groups = [10,21,30,41], elements = [2,1] Output: [0,1,0,1] Explanation: elements[0] = 2 is assigned to the groups with even values, and elements[1] = 1 is assigned to the groups with odd values. Constraints: 1 <= groups.length <= 105 1 <= elements.length <= 105 1 <= groups[i] <= 105 1 <= elements[i] <= 105

Explanation

• Iterate through each group and find the smallest index element that divides the group size.
  • Maintain a used set to track the indices of the elements already assigned to prevent assigning the same element to multiple groups when a smaller index element can also satisfy other groups.
  • If no such element is found for a group, assign -1.

• Runtime Complexity: O(groups.length * elements.length), Storage Complexity: O(elements.length)

Code

    def assign_elements(groups, elements):
    """
    Assigns elements to groups based on divisibility.

    Args:
        groups: A list of integers representing the size of each group.
        elements: A list of integers representing the elements to assign.

    Returns:
        A list of integers representing the assigned element index for each group,
        or -1 if no suitable element exists.
