2 min read

Introduction

In this blog post, we will explore how to solve the LeetCode problem "3005" using AI. LeetCode is a popular platform for preparing for coding interviews, and with the help of AI tools like Chatmagic, we can generate solutions quickly and efficiently - helping you pass the interviews and get the job offer without having to study for months.

Problem Statement

You are given an array nums consisting of positive integers. Return the total frequencies of elements in nums such that those elements all have the maximum frequency. The frequency of an element is the number of occurrences of that element in the array. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,2,2,3,1,4] Output: 4 Explanation: The elements 1 and 2 have a frequency of 2 which is the maximum frequency in the array. So the number of elements in the array with maximum frequency is 4. Example 2: Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 5 Explanation: All elements of the array have a frequency of 1 which is the maximum. So the number of elements in the array with maximum frequency is 5. Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 100 1 <= nums[i] <= 100

Explanation

Here's a breakdown of the solution:

  • Frequency Counting: Use a dictionary (or array, given the constraint on nums[i]) to efficiently count the frequency of each element in nums.
  • Identify Maximum Frequency: Determine the maximum frequency observed in the array.
  • Count Elements with Max Frequency: Iterate through the frequency counts and sum the counts of elements that have the maximum frequency.

  • Runtime Complexity: O(n), where n is the length of nums. Storage Complexity: O(k), where k is the number of unique elements in nums (at most 100 due to the constraints, so practically O(1)).

Code

    def max_frequency_elements(nums):
    """
    Calculates the total frequencies of elements in nums that have the maximum frequency.

    Args:
        nums: A list of positive integers.

    Returns:
        The total frequencies of elements with the maximum frequency.
    """

    counts = {}
    for num in nums:
        counts[num] = counts.get(num, 0) + 1

    max_freq = 0
    for count in counts.values():
        max_freq = max(max_freq, count)

    total_freq = 0
    for num in nums:
        if counts[num] == max_freq:
            total_freq += 1

    return total_freq
