Two Sum--LeetCode

Two Sum

(原题链接： 点击打开链接)

Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.

You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use thesame element twice.

Example:

Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9,

Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9,
return [0, 1].

看到题目首先想到的是双层遍历，已知一个加数然后去寻找另一个加数，时间复杂度为O(N^2)

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> twoSum(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        vector<int> sum;
        int length = nums.size();
        for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
            int num = target - nums[i];
            for (int j = i + 1; j < length; j++)
            {
                if (num == nums[j])
                {
                    sum.push_back(i);
                    sum.push_back(j);
                    return sum;
                }
            }
        }
    }
};

对该算法进行优化，我们可以想到刚才算法重复遍历多次后面的元素。所以我们可以用map来存储每个元素的索引，这样就可以在常数时间内获取某个元素的索引。这样则只需遍历一遍数组。时间复杂度变为O(N)。

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> twoSum(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        vector<int> sum;
        unordered_map<int, int> hash;
        int length = nums.size();
        for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
            int num = target - nums[i];
            if (hash.find(num) != hash.end())
            {
                sum.push_back(hash[num] - 1);
                sum.push_back(i);
                return sum;
            }
            hash[nums[i]] = i + 1;
        }
    }
};
