605. Can Place Flowers
You have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted, and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots.
Given an integer array flowerbed
containing 0
's and 1
's, where 0
means empty and 1
means not empty, and an integer n
, return true
if n
new flowers can be planted in the flowerbed
without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule and false
otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
Output: false
Constraints:
1 <= flowerbed.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup>
flowerbed[i]
is0
or1
.There are no two adjacent flowers in
flowerbed
.0 <= n <= flowerbed.length
Solution:
class Solution:
def canPlaceFlowers(self, flowerbed: List[int], n: int) -> bool:
f = [0] + flowerbed + [0]
for i in range(1, len(f)-1): # skip first and last
if f[i-1] == 0 and f[i] == 0 and f[i+1] == 0:
f[i] = 1
n -= 1
return n <= 0
