Problem
There are n
items each belonging to zero or one of m
groups where group[i]
is the group that the i
-th item belongs to and it's equal to -1
if the i
-th item belongs to no group. The items and the groups are zero indexed. A group can have no item belonging to it.
Return a sorted list of the items such that:
- The items that belong to the same group are next to each other in the sorted list.
- There are some relations between these items where
beforeItems[i]
is a list containing all the items that should come before thei
-th item in the sorted array (to the left of thei
-th item).
Return any solution if there is more than one solution and return an empty list if there is no solution.
Example 1:
Input: n = 8, m = 2, group = [-1,-1,1,0,0,1,0,-1], beforeItems = [[],[6],[5],[6],[3,6],[],[],[]] Output: [6,3,4,1,5,2,0,7]
Example 2:
Input: n = 8, m = 2, group = [-1,-1,1,0,0,1,0,-1], beforeItems = [[],[6],[5],[6],[3],[],[4],[]] Output: [] Explanation: This is the same as example 1 except that 4 needs to be before 6 in the sorted list.
Constraints:
1 <= m <= n <= 3 * 104
group.length == beforeItems.length == n
-1 <= group[i] <= m - 1
0 <= beforeItems[i].length <= n - 1
0 <= beforeItems[i][j] <= n - 1
i != beforeItems[i][j]
beforeItems[i]
does not contain duplicates elements.
