LeetCode 1710. Maximum Units on a Truck

Description

https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-units-on-a-truck/

You are assigned to put some amount of boxes onto one truck. You are given a 2D array boxTypes, where boxTypes[i] = [numberOfBoxesi, numberOfUnitsPerBoxi]:

• numberOfBoxesi is the number of boxes of type i.
• numberOfUnitsPerBoxiis the number of units in each box of the type i.

You are also given an integer truckSize, which is the maximum number of boxes that can be put on the truck. You can choose any boxes to put on the truck as long as the number of boxes does not exceed truckSize.

Return the maximum total number of units that can be put on the truck.

Example 1:

Input: boxTypes = [[1,3],[2,2],[3,1]], truckSize = 4
Output: 8
Explanation: There are:
- 1 box of the first type that contains 3 units.
- 2 boxes of the second type that contain 2 units each.
- 3 boxes of the third type that contain 1 unit each.
You can take all the boxes of the first and second types, and one box of the third type.
The total number of units will be = (1 * 3) + (2 * 2) + (1 * 1) = 8.

Example 2:

Input: boxTypes = [[5,10],[2,5],[4,7],[3,9]], truckSize = 10
Output: 91

Constraints:

• 1 <= boxTypes.length <= 1000
• 1 <= numberOfBoxesi, numberOfUnitsPerBoxi <= 1000
• 1 <= truckSize <= 106

Explanation

Sort boxTypes by their unit number in descending order. Then load the boxTypes with the higher unit number first.

Python Solution

    def maximumUnits(self, boxTypes: List[List[int]], truckSize: int) -> int:
                
        boxTypes = sorted(boxTypes, key=lambda b:-b[1])
                
        result = 0
        
        box_count = 0

        for box_type in boxTypes:
            if is_full:
                break
                
            for i in range(box_type[0]):    
                if is_full:
                    break
                else:                    
                    result += box_type[1]    
                    box_count += 1   
                    
                    if box_count == truckSize:
                        is_full = True
            
        return result
