2244. Minimum Rounds to Complete All Tasks

You are given a 0-indexed integer array tasks, where tasks[i] represents the difficulty level of a task. In each round, you can complete either 2 or 3 tasks of the same difficulty level.

Return the minimum rounds required to complete all the tasks, or -1 if it is not possible to complete all the tasks.

Example 1:

Input: tasks = [2,2,3,3,2,4,4,4,4,4]
Output: 4
Explanation: To complete all the tasks, a possible plan is:

  • In the first round, you complete 3 tasks of difficulty level 2.
  • In the second round, you complete 2 tasks of difficulty level 3.
  • In the third round, you complete 3 tasks of difficulty level 4.
  • In the fourth round, you complete 2 tasks of difficulty level 4. It can be shown that all the tasks cannot be completed in fewer than 4 rounds, so the answer is 4.

Example 2:

Input: tasks = [2,3,3]
Output: -1
Explanation: There is only 1 task of difficulty level 2, but in each round, you can only complete either 2 or 3 tasks of the same difficulty level. Hence, you cannot complete all the tasks, and the answer is -1.

Constraints:

1 <= tasks.length <= 105
1 <= tasks[i] <= 109

public class Solution {

    public int minimumRounds(int[] tasks) {
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> hm = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();// Creating HashMap
        int a = 0;
        int c = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++)// Traversing array
        {
            // Checking if the element is present
            if (hm.containsKey(tasks[i])) {
                a = hm.get(tasks[i]) + 1;
                hm.put(tasks[i], a);
                a = 0;
            } else // If element is not present then add it to the HashMap
            {
                hm.put(tasks[i], 1);
            }
        }
        // Iterating over the HashMap to count the minimum number of rounds or return -1
        // if it is not possible to complete all the tasks.
        for (int z : hm.keySet()) {
            int d = hm.get(z);
            if (d == 1) {
                return -1;
            } else if (d == 2) {
                c += 1;
            } else if (d % 3 == 0) {
                c += d / 3;
            } else {
                c += d / 3 + 1;
            }
        }
        return c;// returning the minimum number of rounds.
        // Time Complexity: O(n)
        // Space Complexity: O(n)
        // End of the program.
    }
