Problem
Given an array of positive integers arr
, find a pattern of length m
that is repeated k
or more times.
A pattern is a subarray (consecutive sub-sequence) that consists of one or more values, repeated multiple times consecutively without overlapping. A pattern is defined by its length and the number of repetitions.
Return true
if there exists a pattern of length m
that is repeated k
or more times, otherwise return false
.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [1,2,4,4,4,4], m = 1, k = 3 Output: true Explanation: The pattern (4) of length 1 is repeated 4 consecutive times. Notice that pattern can be repeated k or more times but not less.
Example 2:
Input: arr = [1,2,1,2,1,1,1,3], m = 2, k = 2 Output: true Explanation: The pattern (1,2) of length 2 is repeated 2 consecutive times. Another valid pattern (2,1) is also repeated 2 times.
Example 3:
Input: arr = [1,2,1,2,1,3], m = 2, k = 3 Output: false Explanation: The pattern (1,2) is of length 2 but is repeated only 2 times. There is no pattern of length 2 that is repeated 3 or more times.
Constraints:
2 <= arr.length <= 100
1 <= arr[i] <= 100
1 <= m <= 100
2 <= k <= 100
