LeetCode - Bulb Switcher II
Question Definition
There is a room with n lights which are turned on initially and 4 buttons on the wall. After performing exactly m unknown operations towards buttons, you need to return how many different kinds of status of the n lights could be.
Suppose n lights are labeled as number [1, 2, 3 ..., n], function of these 4 buttons are given below:
Flip all the lights. Flip lights with even numbers. Flip lights with odd numbers. Flip lights with (3k + 1) numbers, k = 0, 1, 2, … Example 1:
Input: n = 1, m = 1.
Output: 2
Explanation: Status can be: [on], [off]
Example 2:
Input: n = 2, m = 1.
Output: 3
Explanation: Status can be: [on, off], [off, on], [off, off]
Example 3:
Input: n = 3, m = 1.
Output: 4
Explanation: Status can be: [off, on, off], [on, off, on], [off, off, off], [off, on, on].
Note: n and m both fit in range [0, 1000].
Java Solution
public int flipLights(int n, int m) {
if (n == 0 || m == 0) return 1;
if (n == 1) return 2;
if (n == 2) return m == 1 ? 3 : 4;
if (m == 1) return 4;
return m == 2 ? 7 : 8;
}
