原题链接:Leetcode 453. minimum moves to equal array elements
Given an integer array nums
of size n, return the minimum number of moves required to make all array elements equal.
In one move, you can increment n - 1
elements of the array by 1
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: Only three moves are needed (remember each move increments two elements):
[1,2,3] => [2,3,3] => [3,4,3] => [4,4,4]
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1]
Output: 0
Constraints:
- n == nums.length
- 1 <= nums.length <= 105
- -109 <= nums[i] <= 109
- The answer is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.
题目大意:
给了一个长度为n的数组 nums
,每次操作能使其中的n-1个元素加1,问做多需要多少次数能够使得所有元素相等
方法一:模拟
思路:
转换思路:每次使得n-1个元素加1,等效为使得一个元素减1
那么只要找到值最小的元素,合计一下其他元素减到最小值的步骤总和即可。
需要的操作次数和题目要求在值上是相等的。
C++ 代码:
class Solution {
public:
int minMoves(vector<int>& nums) {
// 找到数组中最小值
int min_ = *min_element(nums.begin(), nums.end());
int ans = 0;
for(auto num : nums){
ans += num - min_;
}
return ans;
}
};
复杂度分析:
- 时间复杂度:O(n),先找出最小值,然后遍历一遍合计次数
- 空间复杂度:O(1)
补充:C++求vector容器中的最大值(最小值)及其位置
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
vector<int> a = {2, 4, 6, 7, 1, 0, 8, 9, 5, 3};
// 最大值最小值的位置
auto max_pos = max_element(a.begin(), a.end());
auto min_pos = min_element(a.begin(), a.end());
// 最大值和最小值
int max_val = *max_element(a.begin(), a.end());
int min_val = *min_element(a.begin(), a.end());
也可以用于求普通数组:
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
int max_val = *max_element(a, a+6);
int min_val = *min_element(a, a+6);
