There are N children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value.
You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:
- Each child must have at least one candy.
- Children with a higher rating get more candies than their neighbors.
What is the minimum candies you must give?
題解:
- 第一個孩子給一顆糖,然後從左至右遍曆rate數組,如果孩子i+1的rate比孩子i的rate高,那麼孩子i+1得到的糖果數目比孩子i得到的糖果數目多1;如果孩子i+1的rate比孩子i的rate低,那麼就給孩子i+1一顆糖;
- 從右往左遍曆rate數組,如果當前遍曆的孩子i的rate比他右邊的孩子的rate高,那麼他得到的糖果就比他右邊的孩子得到的糖果多1.
- 累加rate中所有的值,得到總的最少糖果數目。
代碼如下:
1 public class Solution { 2 public int candy(int[] ratings) { 3 if(ratings.length == 0) 4 return 0; 5 6 int[] count = new int[ratings.length]; 7 Arrays.fill(count, 1); 8 9 for(int i = 1;i <= ratings.length-1;i++){10 if(ratings[i]> ratings[i-1] )11 count[i] = count[i-1] + 1; 12 }13 14 int sum = 0;15 for(int i = ratings.length-1;i >= 1;i--){16 sum += count[i];17 if(ratings[i-1] > ratings[i] && count[i-1] <= count[i])18 count[i-1] = count[i]+ 1; 19 }20 21 return count[0] + sum;22 }23 }
在17行的迴圈,需要判斷i-1個孩子當前獲得的糖果數目是否真的比第i個孩子的少,如果真的少,才需要+1.例如:
ratings = {4,2,3,4,1}的時候,第一遍遍曆得到的count數組是{1,1,2,3,1},此時從後往前遍曆的時候ratings[3] > ratings[4],但是count[3]已經大於count[4]了,所以不需要更新count[3] = count[4]+1。
