[LeetCode] 88. Merge Sorted Array
grandyang opened this issue · 2 comments
Given two sorted integer arrays nums1 and nums2 , merge nums2 into nums1 as one sorted array.
Note:
- The number of elements initialized in nums1 and nums2 are m and n respectively.
- You may assume that nums1 has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n ) to hold additional elements from nums2.
Example:
Input:
nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3
nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
混合插入有序数组,由于两个数组都是有序的,所有只要按顺序比较大小即可。题目中说了 nums1 数组有足够大的空间,说明不用 resize 数组,又给了m和n,那就知道了混合之后的数组的大小,这样就从 nums1 和 nums2 数组的末尾开始一个一个比较,把较大的数,按顺序从后往前加入混合之后的数组末尾。需要三个变量 i,j,k,分别指向 nums1,nums2,和混合数组的末尾。进行 while 循环,如果i和j都大于0,再看如果 nums1[i] > nums2[j],说明要先把 nums1[i] 加入混合数组的末尾,加入后k和i都要自减1;反之就把 nums2[j] 加入混合数组的末尾,加入后k和j都要自减1。循环结束后,有可能i或者j还大于等于0,若j大于0,那么还需要继续循环,将 nums2 中的数字继续拷入 nums1。若是i大于等于0,那么就不用管,因为混合数组本身就放在 nums1 中,参见代码如下:
解法一:
class Solution {
public:
void merge(vector<int>& nums1, int m, vector<int>& nums2, int n) {
int i = m - 1, j = n - 1, k = m + n - 1;
while (i >= 0 && j >= 0) {
if (nums1[i] > nums2[j]) nums1[k--] = nums1[i--];
else nums1[k--] = nums2[j--];
}
while (j >= 0) nums1[k--] = nums2[j--];
}
};
我们还可以写的更简洁一些,将两个 while 循环融合到一起,只要加上 i>=0 且 nums1[i] > nums2[j] 的判断条件,就可以从 nums1 中取数,否则就一直从 nums2 中取数,参见代码如下:
解法二:
class Solution {
public:
void merge(vector<int>& nums1, int m, vector<int>& nums2, int n) {
int i = m - 1, j = n - 1, k = m + n - 1;
while (j >= 0) {
nums1[k--] = (i >= 0 && nums1[i] > nums2[j]) ? nums1[i--] : nums2[j--];
}
}
};

用inplace_merge()来做会不会更好一点。
class Solution {
public:
void merge(vector& nums1, int m, vector& nums2, int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; i ++) {
nums1[i + m] = nums2[i];
}
inplace_merge(nums1.begin(), nums1.begin() + m, nums1.end());
}
};

看样子不会更好, 至少需要更多的空间
If enough extra memory is available, linear in the distance between first and last: Performs N-1 comparisons and up to twice that many element moves.
Otherwise, up to linearithmic: Performs up to N*log(N) element comparisons (where N is the distance above), and up to that many element swaps.
