HackerRank ‘No Idea!’ Solution
Short Problem Definition:
There is an array of integers. There are also 2 disjoint sets, A and ,B each containing m integers. You like all the integers in set A and dislike all the integers in set B. Your initial happiness is 0. For each a integer in the array, if A, you add 1 to your happiness. If b in B, you add -1 to your happiness. Otherwise, your happiness does not change. Output your final happiness at the end.

Complexity:
time complexity is O(N)
space complexity is O(1)
Execution:
Make sure that you convert A and B into sets to reduce the lookup times.
Solution:
def noIdea(N, A, B): happiness = 0 A = set(A) B = set(B) for n in N: if n in A: happiness += 1 elif n in B: happiness -= 1 return happiness
