{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "2421", "questionFrontendId": "2341", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Maximum Number of Pairs in Array", "titleSlug": "maximum-number-of-pairs-in-array", "content": "

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. In one operation, you may do the following:

\n\n\n\n

The operation is done on nums as many times as possible.

\n\n

Return a 0-indexed integer array answer of size 2 where answer[0] is the number of pairs that are formed and answer[1] is the number of leftover integers in nums after doing the operation as many times as possible.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [1,3,2,1,3,2,2]\nOutput: [3,1]\nExplanation:\nForm a pair with nums[0] and nums[3] and remove them from nums. Now, nums = [3,2,3,2,2].\nForm a pair with nums[0] and nums[2] and remove them from nums. Now, nums = [2,2,2].\nForm a pair with nums[0] and nums[1] and remove them from nums. Now, nums = [2].\nNo more pairs can be formed. A total of 3 pairs have been formed, and there is 1 number leftover in nums.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [1,1]\nOutput: [1,0]\nExplanation: Form a pair with nums[0] and nums[1] and remove them from nums. Now, nums = [].\nNo more pairs can be formed. A total of 1 pair has been formed, and there are 0 numbers leftover in nums.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [0]\nOutput: [0,1]\nExplanation: No pairs can be formed, and there is 1 number leftover in nums.\n
