LeetCode Problem #1920 : Build Array from Permutation


Question:

Given a zero-based permutation nums (0-indexed), build an array ans of the same length where ans[i] = nums[nums[i]] for each 0 <= i < nums.length and return it. A zero-based permutation nums is an array of distinct integers from 0 to nums.length - 1 (inclusive).

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,2,1,5,3,4]
Output: [0,1,2,4,5,3]
Explanation: The array ans is built as follows:
ans = [nums[nums[0]], nums[nums[1]], nums[nums[2]], nums[nums[3]], nums[nums[4]], nums[nums[5]]]
    = [nums[0], nums[2], nums[1], nums[5], nums[3], nums[4]]
    = [0,1,2,4,5,3]
Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,0,1,2,3,4]
Output: [4,5,0,1,2,3]
Explanation: The array ans is built as follows:
ans = [nums[nums[0]], nums[nums[1]], nums[nums[2]], nums[nums[3]], nums[nums[4]], nums[nums[5]]]
    = [nums[5], nums[0], nums[1], nums[2], nums[3], nums[4]]
    = [4,5,0,1,2,3]

Initial Solution:

Easy as, just follow the instructions

    class Solution {
    public int[] buildArray(int[] nums) {
        int[] answer = new int[nums.length];
        for(int i=0;i< nums.length;i++){
            answer[i] = nums[nums[i]];
        }
        return answer;
    }
}
