题目:
Given a non-empty integer array, find the minimum number of moves required to make all array elements equal, where a move is incrementing a selected element by 1 or decrementing a selected element by 1.
You may assume the array’s length is at most 10,000.
Example:
Input:
[1,2,3]
Output:
2
Explanation:
Only two moves are needed (remember each move increments or decrements one element):
[1,2,3] => [2,2,3] => [2,2,2]
解题思路:首先对数组进行排序,寻找中位数,每个数与中位数的差之和就是结果。
public class MinimumMovesToEqualArrayElementsII462 {
public int minMoves2(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length == 0) return 0;
Arrays.sort(nums);
int len = nums.length;
int target = nums[len >> 1];
int res = 0;
for(int i : nums) res += Math.abs(i - target);
return res;
}
}
