1640. Check Array Formation Through Concatenation

You are given an array of distinct integers arr and an array of integer arrays pieces, where the integers in pieces are distinct. Your goal is to form arr by concatenating the arrays in pieces in any order. However, you are not allowed to reorder the integers in each array pieces[i].

Return true if it is possible to form the array arr from pieces. Otherwise, return false.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [85], pieces = [[85]]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: arr = [15,88], pieces = [[88],[15]]
Output: true
Explanation: Concatenate [15] then [88]

Example 3:

Input: arr = [49,18,16], pieces = [[16,18,49]]
Output: false
Explanation: Even though the numbers match, we cannot reorder pieces[0].

Example 4:

Input: arr = [91,4,64,78], pieces = [[78],[4,64],[91]]
Output: true
Explanation: Concatenate [91] then [4,64] then [78]

Example 5:

Input: arr = [1,3,5,7], pieces = [[2,4,6,8]]
Output: false

Constraints:

• 1 <= pieces.length <= arr.length <= 100
• sum(pieces[i].length) == arr.length
• 1 <= pieces[i].length <= arr.length
• 1 <= arr[i], pieces[i][j] <= 100
• The integers in arr are distinct.
• The integers in pieces are distinct (i.e., If we flatten pieces in a 1D array, all the integers in this array are distinct).

Solutions (Ruby)

1. Sort

# @param {Integer[]} arr
# @param {Integer[][]} pieces
# @return {Boolean}
def can_form_array(arr, pieces)
  indices = arr.map.with_index.to_h
  indices.default = 0

  arr == pieces.sort_by { |piece| indices[piece[0]] }.flatten(1)
end

Solutions (Rust)

1. Sort

use std::collections::HashMap;

impl Solution {
    pub fn can_form_array(arr: Vec<i32>, mut pieces: Vec<Vec<i32>>) -> bool {
        let indices = arr
            .iter()
            .enumerate()
            .map(|(i, n)| (n, i))
            .collect::<HashMap<_, _>>();

        pieces.sort_unstable_by_key(|piece| indices.get(&piece[0]));

        arr == pieces.concat()
    }
}
