Given two integers
n
and k
, you need to construct a list which contains n
different positive integers ranging from 1
to n
and obeys the following requirement:
Suppose this list is [a1, a2, a3, ... , an], then the list [|a1 - a2|, |a2 - a3|, |a3 - a4|, ... , |an-1 - an|] has exactly k
distinct integers.
If there are multiple answers, print any of them.
Example 1:
Input: n = 3, k = 1 Output: [1, 2, 3] Explanation: The [1, 2, 3] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [1, 1] has exactly 1 distinct integer: 1.
Example 2:
Input: n = 3, k = 2 Output: [1, 3, 2] Explanation: The [1, 3, 2] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [2, 1] has exactly 2 distinct integers: 1 and 2.
Note:
- The
n
andk
are in the range 1 <= k < n <= 104.
/**
* @param {number} n
* @param {number} k
* @return {number[]}

var constructArray = function (n, k) {
let res = [];
for (let i = 1, j = n; i <= j;) {
if (k > 1) {
res.push(k-- % 2 ? i++ : j--);
} else {
res.push(i++);
}
}
return res;
};
let n = 3;
let k = 2;
let res = constructArray(n, k);
console.log(res);
