Teemo Attacking

Our hero Teemo is attacking an enemy Ashe with poison attacks! When Teemo attacks Ashe, Ashe gets poisoned for a exactly duration seconds. More formally, an attack at second t will mean Ashe is poisoned during the inclusive time interval [t, t + duration - 1]. If Teemo attacks again before the poison effect ends, the timer for it is reset, and the poison effect will end duration seconds after the new attack.

You are given a non-decreasing integer array timeSeries, where timeSeries[i] denotes that Teemo attacks Ashe at second timeSeries[i], and an integer duration.

Return the total number of seconds that Ashe is poisoned.

Example 1:

Input: timeSeries = [1,4], duration = 2
Output: 4
Explanation: Teemo's attacks on Ashe go as follows:

  • At second 1, Teemo attacks, and Ashe is poisoned for seconds 1 and 2.
  • At second 4, Teemo attacks, and Ashe is poisoned for seconds 4 and 5. Ashe is poisoned for seconds 1, 2, 4, and 5, which is 4 seconds in total.

Example 2:

Input: timeSeries = [1,2], duration = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: Teemo's attacks on Ashe go as follows:

  • At second 1, Teemo attacks, and Ashe is poisoned for seconds 1 and 2.
  • At second 2 however, Teemo attacks again and resets the poison timer. Ashe is poisoned for seconds 2 and 3. Ashe is poisoned for seconds 1, 2, and 3, which is 3 seconds in total.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= timeSeries.length <= 104
  • 0 <= timeSeries[i], duration <= 107
  • timeSeries is sorted in non-decreasing order.

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def findPoisonedDuration(self, timeSeries: List[int], duration: int) -> int:
        n = len(timeSeries)
        total = duration
        for i in range(1, n):
            total += min(timeSeries[i] - timeSeries[i - 1], duration)
        return total
