Given an array of citations (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher’s h-index.
According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: “A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each.”
For example, given citations = [3, 0, 6, 1, 5], which means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively. Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, his h-index is 3.
Note: If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.
Hint:
An easy approach is to sort the array first.
What are the possible values of h-index?
A faster approach is to use extra space.
【题意】
给定研究人员的文章引用次数的数组(每一篇文章的引用次数都是非负整数),编写函数计算该研究人员的h指数。
根据维基百科对h指数的定义:“一名科学家的h指数是指其发表的N篇论文中,有h篇论文分别被引用了至少h次,其余N-h篇的引用次数均不超过h次”。
例如,给定引用次数数组 = [3, 0, 6, 1, 5],这意味着研究人员总共有5篇论文,每篇分别获得了3, 0, 6, 1, 5次引用。由于研究人员有3篇论文分别至少获得了3次引用,且其余两篇的引用次数不超过3次,因而其h指数是3。
注意:如果存在多个可能的h值,取最大值作为h指数。
【算法】
从小到大排序后,指针指向末位,维护一个count变量,如果数组中的值大于等于count,则count++。指针向前继续移动,因为数组中数越来越小,所以大于count就能保证后边也大于count。
【code】
class Solution {
public:
int hIndex(vector<int>& citations) {
sort(citations.begin(),citations.end());
int count = 0;
for (int i = citations.size()-1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if(citations[i] > count+1)
count++;
else
break;
}
return count;
}
};
