You have been given an array of size N consisting of integers. In addition you have been given an element M you need to find and print the index of the last occurrence of this element M in the array if it exists in it, otherwise print -1. Consider this array to be 1 indexed.
Input Format:
The first line consists of 2 integers N and M denoting the size of the array and the element to be searched for in the array respectively . The next line contains N space separated integers denoting the elements of of the array.
Output Format
Print a single integer denoting the index of the last occurrence of integer M in the array if it exists, otherwise print -1.
Constraints
1 \le N \le 10^5
1 \le A[i] \le 10^9
1 \le M \le 10^9
SAMPLE INPUT
5 1
1 2 3 4 1
SAMPLE OUTPUT
5
Solution
In main.rs
we can add main function that process in and out streams.
use linear_sort_reverse_search_rust_easy::reverse_search;
use std::io;
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
reverse_search(&mut io::stdin(), &mut io::stdout())
}
in lib.rs
there is rest of our code
use std::io::{Error, Read, Write};
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn basic_test() {
let mut output: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
reverse_search(&mut "5 1
1 2 3 4 1".as_bytes(), &mut output).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&output, b"5\n");
}
#[test]
fn not_found_test() {
let mut output: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
reverse_search(&mut "5 7
1 2 3 4 1".as_bytes(), &mut output).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&output, b"-1\n");
}
}
pub fn reverse_search(
handle: &mut impl Read ,
output: &mut impl Write,
) -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut buffer = "".to_string();
let mut out = "".to_string();
handle.read_to_string(&mut buffer)?;
let mut lines = buffer.lines();
let mut some_line = match lines.next() {
Some(line) => line,
_ => ""
};
let mut iterator = some_line.split_ascii_whitespace();
let mut len: usize = match iterator.next() {
Some(p) => p.trim().parse().expect("can't read"),
None => 0
};
let needle = match iterator.next() {
Some(p) => p.trim().parse().expect("can't read"),
None => 0
};
some_line = match lines.next() {
Some(line) => line,
_ => ""
};
let mut vec:Vec<i32> = vec![0; len];
iterator = some_line.split_ascii_whitespace();
for n in 0..len {
vec[n] = match iterator.next() {
Some(p) => p.trim().parse().expect("can't read"),
None => 0
};
}
let mut iter = vec.iter().rev();
while let Some(num) = iter.next() {
if *num == needle {
out = format!("{}\n", len);
break;
}
len -= 1;
}
if len == 0 {
out = format!("-1\n");
}
output.write_all(out.to_uppercase().as_bytes())?;
Ok(())
}
