Shortest Impossible Sequence of Rolls

Description

You are given an integer array rolls of length n and an integer k. You roll a k sided dice numbered from 1 to k, n times, where the result of the ith roll is rolls[i].

Return the length of the shortest sequence of rolls that cannot be taken from rolls.

A sequence of rolls of length len is the result of rolling a k sided dice len times.

Note that the sequence taken does not have to be consecutive as long as it is in order.

Example 1:

Input: rolls = [4,2,1,2,3,3,2,4,1], k = 4 Output: 3 Explanation: Every sequence of rolls of length 1, [1], [2], [3], [4], can be taken from rolls. Every sequence of rolls of length 2, [1, 1], [1, 2], …, [4, 4], can be taken from rolls. The sequence [1, 4, 2] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 3. Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls.

Example 2:

Input: rolls = [1,1,2,2], k = 2 Output: 2 Explanation: Every sequence of rolls of length 1, [1], [2], can be taken from rolls. The sequence [2, 1] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 2. Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls but [2, 1] is the shortest.

Example 3:

Input: rolls = [1,1,3,2,2,2,3,3], k = 4 Output: 1 Explanation: The sequence [4] cannot be taken from rolls, so we return 1. Note that there are other sequences that cannot be taken from rolls but [4] is the shortest.

Constraints:

• n == rolls.length
• 1 <= n <= 105
• 1 <= rolls[i] <= k <= 105

Code

Time Complexity: $O()$, Space Complexity: $O()$
