Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie. Each child i has a greed factor gi, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size sj. If sj >= gi, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.
Note:
You may assume the greed factor is always positive.
You cannot assign more than one cookie to one child.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3], [1,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3.
And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content.
You need to output 1.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2], [1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2.
You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children,
You need to output 2.
思路:首先将两个数组从小到大排序,设s数组中的最大元素为MaxS,然后在贪婪数组(g数组)中找到最后一个小于MaxS的元素的下标,记为x。
定义两个指针endg,ends分别指向g[x]和s[s.length - 1],比较g[endg]与s[ends]的大小:
若g[endg] <= s[ends],则结果 + 1,endg,ends分别前移一个单位;
若g[endg] > s[ends],则当前孩子不能满足,则endg向前移动一个单位;
条件是 endg >= 0 && ends >=0
public class AssignCookies455 {
public static int findContentChildren(int[] g, int[] s) {
if (g == null || s == null || g.length == 0 || s.length == 0)
return 0;
Arrays.sort(g);
Arrays.sort(s);
int glen = g.length, slen = s.length;
int maxS = s[slen - 1];
int begin = 0, end = glen;
while (begin < end) {
int mid = begin + ((end - begin) >> 1);
if (g[mid] > maxS + 1) {
end = mid;
} else {
begin = mid + 1;
}
}
int ends = slen - 1, endg = begin - 1, res = 0;
while (ends >= 0 && endg >= 0) {
if (g[endg] <= s[ends]) {
res++;
ends--;
}
endg--;
}
return res;
}
}
