561. Array Partition I*
https://leetcode.com/problems/array-partition-i/
题目描述
Given an array of 2n
integers, your task is to group these integers into n
pairs of integer, say (a1, b1), (a2, b2), ..., (an, bn)
which makes sum of min(ai, bi)
for all i
from 1
to n
as large as possible.
Example 1:
Input: [1,4,3,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: n is 2, and the maximum sum of pairs is 4 = min(1, 2) + min(3, 4).
Note:
n
is a positive integer, which is in the range of[1, 10000]
.- All the integers in the array will be in the range of
[-10000, 10000]
.
解题思路
这道题的关键是要观察到这样一个现象: 较大的数要聚在一起, 那么 min(ai, bi)
才会比较大. 比如上面的例子中, 如果 4
和 1
组成数对, 那么 min(1, 4)
就是 1
, 相比 min(3, 4)
就小了. 因此, 思路就是将这个数组排序, 然后将 0 ~ 2n - 1
索引中偶数位置的元素相加即可.
C++ 实现 1
class Solution {
public:
int arrayPairSum(vector<int>& nums) {
std::sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i += 2)
sum += nums[i];
return sum;
}
};
