leetcode *767. 重构字符串（待研究）（2020.11.30）

【题目】*767. 重构字符串

给定一个字符串S，检查是否能重新排布其中的字母，使得两相邻的字符不同。

若可行，输出任意可行的结果。若不可行，返回空字符串。

示例 1:

输入: S = "aab"
输出: "aba"
示例 2:

输入: S = "aaab"
输出: ""
注意:

S 只包含小写字母并且长度在[1, 500]区间内。

【解题思路1】基于最大堆的贪心算法

class Solution {
    public String reorganizeString(String S) {
        if (S.length() < 2) {
            return S;
        }
        int[] counts = new int[26];
        int maxCount = 0;
        int length = S.length();
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            char c = S.charAt(i);
            counts[c - 'a']++;
            maxCount = Math.max(maxCount, counts[c - 'a']);
        }
        if (maxCount > (length + 1) / 2) {
            return "";
        }
        PriorityQueue<Character> queue = new PriorityQueue<Character>(new Comparator<Character>() {
            public int compare(Character letter1, Character letter2) {
                return counts[letter2 - 'a'] - counts[letter1 - 'a'];
            }
        });
        for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++) {
            if (counts[c - 'a'] > 0) {
                queue.offer(c);
            }
        }
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        while (queue.size() > 1) {
            char letter1 = queue.poll();
            char letter2 = queue.poll();
            sb.append(letter1);
            sb.append(letter2);
            int index1 = letter1 - 'a', index2 = letter2 - 'a';
            counts[index1]--;
            counts[index2]--;
            if (counts[index1] > 0) {
                queue.offer(letter1);
            }
            if (counts[index2] > 0) {
                queue.offer(letter2);
            }
        }
        if (queue.size() > 0) {
            sb.append(queue.poll());
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
