Largest Values From Labels

We have a set of items: the i-th item has value values[i] and label labels[i].

Then, we choose a subset S of these items, such that:

  • |S| <= num_wanted

  • For every label L, the number of items in S with label L is <= use_limit.

Return the largest possible sum of the subset S.

Example 1:

Input: values = [5,4,3,2,1], labels = [1,1,2,2,3], num_wanted = 3, use_limit = 1
Output: 9
Explanation: The subset chosen is the first, third, and fifth item.

Example 2:

Input: values = [5,4,3,2,1], labels = [1,3,3,3,2], num_wanted = 3, use_limit = 2
Output: 12
Explanation: The subset chosen is the first, second, and third item.

Example 3:

Input: values = [9,8,8,7,6], labels = [0,0,0,1,1], num_wanted = 3, use_limit = 1
Output: 16
Explanation: The subset chosen is the first and fourth item.

Example 4:

Input: values = [9,8,8,7,6], labels = [0,0,0,1,1], num_wanted = 3, use_limit = 2
Output: 24
Explanation: The subset chosen is the first, second, and fourth item.

Note:

  1. 1 <= values.length == labels.length <= 20000

  2. 0 <= values[i], labels[i] <= 20000

  3. 1 <= num_wanted, use_limit <= values.length

class Solution {
    public int largestValsFromLabels(int[] values, int[] labels, int num_wanted, int use_limit) {
        int[][] nums = new int[values.length][2];
        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            nums[i][0] = values[i];
            nums[i][1] = labels[i];
        }
        Arrays.sort(nums, (a, b) -> b[0] - a[0]);
        int sum = 0;
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> limit = new HashMap<>();
        for (int label : labels)
            limit.put(label, 0);
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (limit.get(nums[i][1]) < use_limit) {
                limit.put(nums[i][1], limit.get(nums[i][1]) + 1);
                num_wanted--;
                sum += nums[i][0];
            }
            if (num_wanted == 0)
                break;
        }
        return sum;
    }
}
