539. Minimum Time Difference**

539. Minimum Time Difference**

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-time-difference/

题目描述

Given a list of 24-hour clock time points in "Hour:Minutes" format, find the minimum minutes difference between any two time points in the list.
Example 1:

Input: ["23:59","00:00"]
Output: 1

Note:

• The number of time points in the given list is at least 2 and won’t exceed 20000.
• The input time is legal and ranges from 00:00 to 23:59.

C++ 实现 1

先给出看起来代码较繁琐的解法, 再给出更为简洁的代码.

思路是对时间进行从小到大排序, 求前后两个时间的差值, 注意对于最后一个时间 time[n - 1], 它还要和 time[0] 进行比较.

下面代码中,

• 使用 Comp() 对时间进行排序 (实际上可以不需要写的像我这样繁琐, 直接对时间排序即可, 具体见 C++ 实现 2).
• 使用 difference 求前后两个时间的差值, 应该比较比较:
  • std::abs(hour1 * 60 + min1 - (hour2 * 60 + min2))
  • 另外的 std::min(std::abs(24 * 60 - hour1 * 60 - min1) + hour2 * 60 + min2 以及 std::abs(24 * 60 - hour2 * 60 - min2) + hour1 * 60 + min1)

时间差距可以分为两个部分, d1 和 d2, 取其中最小的. 这部分的代码也写复杂了, 其实可以更为简洁的.

class Solution {
private:
    struct Comp {
        bool operator()(const string &p, const string &q) {
            auto hour1 = p.substr(0, 2), hour2 = q.substr(0, 2);
            auto min1 = p.substr(3, 2), min2 = q.substr(3, 2);
            return hour1 == hour2 ? min1 < min2 : hour1 < hour2;
        }  
    };
    int difference(const string &p, const string &q) {
        auto hour1 = std::stoi(p.substr(0, 2)), hour2 = std::stoi(q.substr(0, 2));
        auto min1 = std::stoi(p.substr(3, 2)), min2 = std::stoi(q.substr(3, 2));
        return std::min(std::abs(hour1 * 60 + min1 - (hour2 * 60 + min2)),
                       std::min(std::abs(24 * 60 - hour1 * 60 - min1) + hour2 * 60 + min2,
                       std::abs(24 * 60 - hour2 * 60 - min2) + hour1 * 60 + min1));
    }
public:
    int findMinDifference(vector<string>& timePoints) {
        std::sort(timePoints.begin(), timePoints.end(), Comp());
        int res = INT32_MAX;
        for (int i = 1; i < timePoints.size(); ++ i) {
            res = std::min(res, difference(timePoints[i - 1], timePoints[i]));
        }
        res = std::min(res, difference(timePoints.front(), timePoints.back()));
        return res;
    }
};

C++ 实现 2

代码来自: [C++] Clean Code

时间差距直接用 24 * 60 - diff 即可求得, 不必像我在 C++ 实现 1 中写的那么复杂.

class Solution {
public:
    int findMinDifference(vector<string>& times) {
        int n = times.size();
        sort(times.begin(), times.end());
        int mindiff = INT_MAX;
        for (int i = 0; i < times.size(); i++) {
            int diff = abs(timeDiff(times[(i - 1 + n) % n], times[i]));
            diff = min(diff, 1440 - diff);
            mindiff = min(mindiff, diff);
        }
        return mindiff;
    }

private:
    int timeDiff(string t1, string t2) {
        int h1 = stoi(t1.substr(0, 2));
        int m1 = stoi(t1.substr(3, 2));
        int h2 = stoi(t2.substr(0, 2));
        int m2 = stoi(t2.substr(3, 2));
        return (h2 - h1) * 60 + (m2 - m1);
    }
};
