Lemonade Change
Description
At a lemonade stand, each lemonade costs $5
.
Customers are standing in a queue to buy from you, and order one at a time (in the order specified by bills
).
Each customer will only buy one lemonade and pay with either a $5
, $10
, or $20
bill. You must provide the correct change to each customer, so that the net transaction is that the customer pays $5.
Note that you don't have any change in hand at first.
Return true
if and only if you can provide every customer with correct change.
Example 1:
Input: [5,5,5,10,20] Output: true Explanation: From the first 3 customers, we collect three $5 bills in order. From the fourth customer, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5. From the fifth customer, we give a $10 bill and a $5 bill. Since all customers got correct change, we output true.
Example 2:
Input: [5,5,10] Output: true
Example 3:
Input: [10,10] Output: false
Example 4:
Input: [5,5,10,10,20] Output: false Explanation: From the first two customers in order, we collect two $5 bills. For the next two customers in order, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5 bill. For the last customer, we can't give change of $15 back because we only have two $10 bills. Since not every customer received correct change, the answer is false.
Note:
0 <= bills.length <= 10000
bills[i]
will be either5
,10
, or20
.
Solution(javascript)
const lemonadeChange = (bills = []) => {
let fives = 0
let tens = 0
for (let i = 0; i < bills.length; i++) {
switch (bills[i]) {
case 5:
fives += 1
break
case 10:
if (fives <= 0) {
return false
}
fives -= 1
tens += 1
break
default:
if (tens >= 1 && fives >= 1) {
tens -= 1
fives -= 1
// twenties += 1
} else if (fives >= 3) {
fives -= 3
} else {
return false
}
break
}
}
return true
}
