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 either5
,10
, or20.
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
}
