334. Increasing Triplet Subsequence
Given an unsorted array return whether an increasing subsequence of length 3 exists or not in the array.
Formally the function should:
Return true if there exists i, j, k
such that arr[i] < arr[j] < arr[k] given 0 ≤ i < j < k ≤ n-1 else return false.
Note: Your algorithm should run in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: [5,4,3,2,1]
Output: false
Approach
- 题目大意找到长度至少为3的递增子序列,然后题目要求时间复杂度控制在O(n)的级别,空间复杂度控制在O(1)的级别。这道题与求递增子序列的长度的题目很相似,我们可以参照求递增子序列dp的思路,我们用一个first一直记录最小值,然后再用second记录比first大的最小值,这样我们就可以直接找是否有比second大的值就可以了,就可以凑成最短的递增子序列。
Code
class Solution {
public:
bool increasingTriplet(vector<int>& nums) {
if (nums.size() < 3)return false;
int first = INT_MAX, second = INT_MAX;
for (int i = 2; i < nums.size(); i++) {
first = min(first, nums[i - 2]);
if (nums[i - 1] > first) {
second = min(second, nums[i - 1]);
}
if (nums[i] > second)return true;
}
return false;
}
};
