Convert 1D Array into 2D Array
In this lab, you will be tasked with converting a given 0-indexed 1-dimensional (1D) integer array original
into a 2-dimensional (2D) array. You will be given two integers, m
and n
, representing the desired number of rows and columns, respectively, for the resulting 2D array. Your goal is to create a 2D array with m
rows and n
columns using all the elements from original
.
The elements from indices 0
to n - 1
(inclusive) of original
should form the first row of the constructed 2D array, the elements from indices n
to 2 * n - 1
(inclusive) should form the second row of the constructed 2D array, and so on.
Your function construct2DArray
should return an m x n
2D array constructed according to the above procedure, or an empty 2D array if it is impossible.
Examples
Example 1:
Input: original = [1,2,3,4], m = 2, n = 2
Output: [[1,2],[3,4]]
Explanation: The constructed 2D array should contain 2 rows and 2 columns.
The first group of n = 2 elements in original, [1,2], becomes the first row in the constructed 2D array.
The second group of n = 2 elements in original, [3,4], becomes the second row in the constructed 2D array.
Example 2:
Input: original = [1,2,3], m = 1, n = 3
Output: [[1,2,3]]
Explanation: The constructed 2D array should contain 1 row and 3 columns.
Put all three elements in the original into the first row of the constructed 2D array.
Example 3:
Input: original = [1,2], m = 1, n = 1
Output: []
Explanation: There are 2 elements in the original.
It is impossible to fit 2 elements in a 1x1 2D array, so return an empty 2D array.
Constraints
1 <= original.length <= 5 * 104
1 <= original[i] <= 105
1 <= m, n <= 4 * 104
Remember to export the construct2DArray
function so that it can be imported and tested in the evaluation script.
export function construct2DArray(original, m, n) { // Your code here }
Happy coding!
