1038 Recover the Smallest Number (30 point(s))
Given a collection of number segments, you are supposed to recover the smallest number from them. For example, given { 32, 321, 3214, 0229, 87 }, we can recover many numbers such like 32-321-3214-0229-87 or 0229-32-87-321-3214 with respect to different orders of combinations of these segments, and the smallest number is 0229-321-3214-32-87.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. Each case gives a positive integer N (≤104) followed by N number segments. Each segment contains a non-negative integer of no more than 8 digits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space.
Output Specification:
For each test case, print the smallest number in one line. Notice that the first digit must not be zero.
Sample Input:
5 32 321 3214 0229 87
Sample Output:
22932132143287
思想:贪心策略
题意:存在一组可能含有前导0的数字串,请问如何连接使得它的值尽可能的小。
由样例可以看出,不能直接排序并连接,如32、321中应当32132<32321,可以看出两个字符串之间的排序应当取决于它们拼接后的大小。采用这样一种贪心策略:对于S1 与 S2,如果 S1+S2 < S2 + S1,那么把 S1放在S2前面。将上述写到cmp函数中。
注意点:前导0的处理。
