0960. Delete Columns to Make Sorted III
https://leetcode.com/problems/delete-columns-to-make-sorted-iii
Description
You are given an array of n
strings strs
, all of the same length.
We may choose any deletion indices, and we delete all the characters in those indices for each string.
For example, if we have strs = ["abcdef","uvwxyz"]
and deletion indices {0, 2, 3}
, then the final array after deletions is ["bef", "vyz"]
.
Suppose we chose a set of deletion indices answer
such that after deletions, the final array has every string (row) in lexicographic order. (i.e., (strs[0][0] <= strs[0][1] <= ... <= strs[0][strs[0].length - 1])
, and (strs[1][0] <= strs[1][1] <= ... <= strs[1][strs[1].length - 1])
, and so on). Return the minimum possible value of answer.length
.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
Constraints:
n == strs.length
1 <= n <= 100
1 <= strs[i].length <= 100
strs[i]
consists of lowercase English letters.
