X Of A Kind In A Deck Of Cards Problem


Description

LeetCode Problem 914.

In a deck of cards, each card has an integer written on it.

Return true if and only if you can choose X >= 2 such that it is possible to split the entire deck into 1 or more groups of cards, where:

  • Each group has exactly X cards.
  • All the cards in each group have the same integer.

Example 1:

1
2
3
Input: deck = [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[3,3],[4,4].

Example 2:

1
2
3
Input: deck = [1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 3:

1
2
3
Input: deck = [1]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 4:

1
2
3
Input: deck = [1,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1].

Example 5:

1
2
3
Input: deck = [1,1,2,2,2,2]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[2,2].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= deck.length <= 10^4
  • 0 <= deck[i] < 10^4
