455. Assign Cookies (Easy)

https://leetcode.com/problems/assign-cookies/

Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie. Each child i has a greed factor g_i, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size s_j. If s_j >= g_i, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.

Note:
You may assume the greed factor is always positive.
You cannot assign more than one cookie to one child.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3], [1,1]

Output: 1

Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3. 
And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content.
You need to output 1.

Example 2:

Input: [1,2], [1,2,3]

Output: 2

Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2. 
You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children, 
You need to output 2.

class Solution {

    public int findContentChildren(int[] g, int[] s) {
        if (s.length == 0) {
            return 0;
        }

        Arrays.sort(g);
        Arrays.sort(s);

        int ans = 0;

        int x = 0;
        int y = 0;

        while (x < g.length && y < s.length) {
            if (g[x] <= s[y]) {
                x++;
                y++;
                ans++;
            } else {
                y++;
            }
        }

        return ans;
    }
}
