A sequence of numbers is called a wiggle sequence if the differences between successive numbers strictly alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either positive or negative. A sequence with fewer than two elements is trivially a wiggle sequence.
For example, [1,7,4,9,2,5] is a wiggle sequence because the differences (6,-3,5,-7,3) are alternately positive and negative. In contrast, [1,4,7,2,5] and [1,7,4,5,5] are not wiggle sequences, the first because its first two differences are positive and the second because its last difference is zero.
Given a sequence of integers, return the length of the longest subsequence that is a wiggle sequence. A subsequence is obtained by deleting some number of elements (eventually, also zero) from the original sequence, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.
Examples:
Input: [1,7,4,9,2,5]
Output: 6
The entire sequence is a wiggle sequence.
Input: [1,17,5,10,13,15,10,5,16,8]
Output: 7
There are several subsequences that achieve this length. One is [1,17,10,13,10,16,8].
Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
Output: 2

题意:
求最长摆动子序列
思路:
子序列的基本形式有三种:摆动,递增,递减。数组中的摆动子序列(连续)不变,将递增、递减子序列删减,只留下最后一个最大或最小的元素,这样便可得到数组的最长摆动子序列。实现时可维护两个变量p和q,然后遍历数组,如果当前数字比前一个数字大,则p=q+1,如果比前一个数字小,则q=p+1,这样在遇到递增、递减子序列时,p或q的值就只会加1,最后返回p和q中的较大值。
代码:
class Solution {
public:
int wiggleMaxLength(vector<int>& nums) {
if (nums.size()==0) return 0;
int p = 1, q = 1, n = nums.size();
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
if (nums[i] > nums[i - 1]) p = q + 1;
else if (nums[i] < nums[i - 1]) q = p + 1;
}
return max(p, q);
}
};
