{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "2779", "questionFrontendId": "2672", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Number of Adjacent Elements With the Same Color", "titleSlug": "number-of-adjacent-elements-with-the-same-color", "content": "

There is a 0-indexed array nums of length n. Initially, all elements are uncolored (has a value of 0).

\n\n

You are given a 2D integer array queries where queries[i] = [indexi, colori].

\n\n

For each query, you color the index indexi with the color colori in the array nums.

\n\n

Return an array answer of the same length as queries where answer[i] is the number of adjacent elements with the same color after the ith query.

\n\n

More formally, answer[i] is the number of indices j, such that 0 <= j < n - 1 and nums[j] == nums[j + 1] and nums[j] != 0 after the ith query.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 4, queries = [[0,2],[1,2],[3,1],[1,1],[2,1]]\nOutput: [0,1,1,0,2]\nExplanation: Initially array nums = [0,0,0,0], where 0 denotes uncolored elements of the array.\n- After the 1st query nums = [2,0,0,0]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 0.\n- After the 2nd query nums = [2,2,0,0]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 1.\n- After the 3rd query nums = [2,2,0,1]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 1.\n- After the 4th query nums = [2,1,0,1]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 0.\n- After the 5th query nums = [2,1,1,1]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 2.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 1, queries = [[0,100000]]\nOutput: [0]\nExplanation: Initially array nums = [0], where 0 denotes uncolored elements of the array.\n- After the 1st query nums = [100000]. The count of adjacent elements with the same color is 0.\n
