Problem
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 so that there's no such subsequence in rolls
.
A sequence of rolls of length len
is the result of rolling a k
sided dice len
times.
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
