739. Daily Temperatures

Medium

Given an array of integers temperatures represents the daily temperatures, return an array answer such that answer[i] is the number of days you have to wait after the ith day to get a warmer temperature. If there is no future day for which this is possible, keep answer[i] == 0 instead.

Example 1:

Input: temperatures = [73,74,75,71,69,72,76,73]

Output: [1,1,4,2,1,1,0,0]

Example 2:

Input: temperatures = [30,40,50,60]

Output: [1,1,1,0]

Example 3:

Input: temperatures = [30,60,90]

Output: [1,1,0]

Solution

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/**
 * Note: The returned array must be malloced, assume caller calls free().
 */
// Function to calculate the daily temperatures
int* dailyTemperatures(int* temperatures, int temperaturesSize, int* returnSize) {
    int* sol = (int*)calloc(temperaturesSize, sizeof(int)); // Initialize the solution array with zeros
    sol[temperaturesSize - 1] = 0; // Last element is 0 by default
    *returnSize = temperaturesSize; // Set the size of the return array

    for (int i = temperaturesSize - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
        int j = i + 1;
        while (j < temperaturesSize) {
            if (temperatures[i] < temperatures[j]) {
                sol[i] = j - i;
                break;
            } else {
                if (sol[j] == 0) {
                    break;
                }
                j = j + sol[j];
            }
        }
    }

    return sol;
