860. Lemonade Change

🟩 Easy

At a lemonade stand, each lemonade costs $5. Customers are standing in a queue to buy from you and order one at a time (in the order specified by bills). Each customer will only buy one lemonade and pay with either a $5, $10, or $20 bill. You must provide the correct change to each customer so that the net transaction is that the customer pays $5.

Note that you do not have any change in hand at first.

Given an integer array bills where bills[i] is the bill the i^th customer pays, return true if you can provide every customer with the correct change, or false otherwise.

Example 1

Input: bills = [5,5,5,10,20] Output: true Explanation: From the first 3 customers, we collect three $5 bills in order. From the fourth customer, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5. From the fifth customer, we give a $10 bill and a $5 bill. Since all customers got correct change, we output true.

Example 2

Input: bills = [5,5,10,10,20] Output: false Explanation: From the first two customers in order, we collect two $5 bills. For the next two customers in order, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5 bill. For the last customer, we can not give the change of $15 back because we only have two $10 bills. Since not every customer received the correct change, the answer is false.

Constraints

  • 1 <= bills.length <= 105

  • bills[i] is either 5, 10, or 20.

Solution

My Solution

func lemonadeChange(bills []int) bool {
    m := map[int]int{}

    for _, v := range bills {
        m[v]++
        if v == 10 {
            if m[5] > 0 {
                m[5]--
            } else {
                return false
            }
        } else if v == 20 {
            if m[10] >= 1 && m[5] >= 1 {
                m[10]--
                m[5]--
            } else if m[5]>=3 {
                m[5]-=3
            } else {
                return false
            }
        }
    }

    return true
}

Optimal solution

func lemonadeChange(bills []int) bool {
    five, ten := 0, 0

    for _, bill := range bills {
        if bill == 5 {
            five++
        } else if bill == 10 {
            if five == 0 {
                return false
            }
            five--
            ten++
        } else if bill == 20 {
            if ten > 0 && five > 0 {
                ten--
                five--
            } else if five >= 3 {
                five -= 3
            } else {
                return false
            }
        }
    }

    return true
}
