i have a deal with a hackerrank algorithm problem.
It works at all cases, except 6-7-8-9. It gives timeout error. I had spent so much time at this level. Someone saw where is problem?
static long[] climbingLeaderboard(long[] scores, long[] alice)
{
//long[] ranks = new long[scores.Length];
long[] aliceRanks = new long[alice.Length]; // same length with alice length
long lastPoint = 0;
long lastRank;
for (long i = 0; i < alice.Length; i++)
{
lastPoint = scores[0];
lastRank = 1;
bool isIn = false; // if never drop in if statement
for (long j = 0; j < scores.Length; j++)
{
if (lastPoint != scores[j]) //if score is not same, raise the variable
{
lastPoint = scores[j];
lastRank++;
}
if (alice[i] >= scores[j])
{
aliceRanks[i] = lastRank;
isIn = true;
break;
}
aliceRanks[i] = !isIn & j + 1 == scores.Length ? ++lastRank : aliceRanks[i]; //drop in here
}
}
return aliceRanks;
}
