10 Replace Elements with Greatest Element on Right Side
Given an array arr
, replace every element in that array with the greatest element among the elements to its right, and replace the last element with -1
.
After doing so, return the array.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [17,18,5,4,6,1]
Output: [18,6,6,6,1,-1]
Explanation:
- index 0 --> the greatest element to the right of index 0 is index 1 (18).
- index 1 --> the greatest element to the right of index 1 is index 4 (6).
- index 2 --> the greatest element to the right of index 2 is index 4 (6).
- index 3 --> the greatest element to the right of index 3 is index 4 (6).
- index 4 --> the greatest element to the right of index 4 is index 5 (1).
- index 5 --> there are no elements to the right of index 5, so we put -1.
Example 2:
Input: arr = [400]
Output: [-1]
Explanation: There are no elements to the right of index 0.
Constraints:
1 <= arr.length <= 104
1 <= arr[i] <= 105
Solution:
Solution:
var replaceElements = function(arr) {
if(arr.length == 1) {
return [-1]
}else{
arr.push(-1)
for(let i = arr.length-1; i>0 ; i--){
arr[i-1] = Math.max(arr[i],arr[i-1])
}
arr.shift(arr[0])
return arr
}
};
