Problem: Loud and Rich

Medium
30 min
Explore how to identify the quietest individual among those who have wealth equal or greater than each person using an efficient O(n + m) time algorithm. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, logical consistency, and spatial complexity, preparing you to solve the Loud and Rich coding challenge confidently.

Statement

You’re given a group of individuals where everyone has a specific amount of money and a different level of quietness. Additionally, you’re given an array richer = [xi,yi][x_{i}, y_{i}​], so that xix_{i}​ has more money than yiy_{i}​. The quietness level of each individual is represented using an array named quiet.

Return an integer array res, where res[i] = y. If y has the lowest value in quiet[y] among all individuals, who have equal or more money than the individual i.

Constraints:

  • n=n = quiet.length
  • 11 \leq nn 500\leq 500
  • 00 \leq quiet[i] << nn
  • All the values of quiet are unique.
  • 00 \leq richer.length n(n1)/2\leq n * (n - 1) / 2
  • 00 \leq x[i], y[i] << n
  • xix_{i} !=!= yiy_{i}
  • All the pairs of richer are unique.
  • The observations in richer are all logically consistent.
