#901 Online Stock Span

Description

Design an algorithm that collects daily price quotes for some stock and returns the span of that stock’s price for the current day.

The span of the stock’s price today is defined as the maximum number of consecutive days (starting from today and going backward) for which the stock price was less than or equal to today’s price.

• For example, if the price of a stock over the next 7 days were [100,80,60,70,60,75,85], then the stock spans would be [1,1,1,2,1,4,6].

Implement the StockSpanner class:

• StockSpanner() Initializes the object of the class.
• int next(int price) Returns the span of the stock’s price given that today’s price is price.

Examples

Example 1:

Input
[“StockSpanner”, “next”, “next”, “next”, “next”, “next”, “next”, “next”]
[[], [100], [80], [60], [70], [60], [75], [85]]
Output
[null, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 6]
Explanation
StockSpanner stockSpanner = new StockSpanner();
stockSpanner.next(100); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(80); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(60); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(70); // return 2
stockSpanner.next(60); // return 1
stockSpanner.next(75); // return 4, because the last 4 prices (including today’s price of 75) were less than or equal to today’s price.
stockSpanner.next(85); // return 6

Constraints:

1 <= price <= $10^5$
At most $10^4$ calls will be made to next.

思路

每次都从当前price开始往前进行推算肯定是会TLE的，比较容易想到的就是把每个时间点的span都记录下来，这样可以跳跃式查找来缩短时间。

代码

class StockSpanner {
    public List<Integer> prices;
    public List<Integer> spans;
    
    public StockSpanner() {
        prices = new ArrayList<>();
        spans = new ArrayList<>();
        prices.add(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
        spans.add(0);
    }
    
    public int next(int price) {
        int count = 1;
        int pos = prices.size() - 1;
        int currentNum = prices.get(pos);
        while(currentNum <= price){
            int countAdd = spans.get(pos);
            count += countAdd;
            pos -= countAdd;
            currentNum = prices.get(pos);
        }
        
        prices.add(price);
        spans.add(count);
        return count;
    }
}
