511—Valid Triangle Number
Given an array consists of non-negative integers, your task is to count the number of triplets chosen from the array that can make triangles if we take them as side lengths of a triangle.
Example 1:
Input: [2,2,3,4]
Output: 3
Explanation:
Valid combinations are:
2,3,4 (using the first 2)
2,3,4 (using the second 2)
2,2,3
Note:
The length of the given array won’t exceed 1000.
The integers in the given array are in the range of [0, 1000].
C代码:
#include <stdlib.h>
int comp(const void*a, const void*b){
return *(int*)a - *(int *)b;
}
int triangleNumber(int* nums, int numsSize) {
int ans = 0;
qsort(nums,numsSize, sizeof(int), comp);
for(int a = 0; a < numsSize - 2; a++) {
for (int b = a+1 ; b< numsSize - 1; b++){
for (int c = b+1; c < numsSize; c++){
if (nums[a] + nums[b] > nums[c]) {
ans++;
}else{
break;
}
}
}
}
return ans;
}
Complexity Analysis:
Time complexity : O(n^2)
Space complexity : O(logn). 排序的空间
思路:
-
知道如何构成三角形的的规则, 即两边之和大于第三边.
-
如何取出三边问题, 最简单的思路暴力枚举, 即三个边a,b,c分别都遍历一次数组.
Complexity Analysis:
Time complexity : O(n^3)
Space complexity : O(1)这种情况下会出现超时的情况
-
解决方法: 把数组排序, 即只用判断a+b>c的条件即可, 这种情况下, c 边可能不用全部遍历数组, 出现不满足a+b>c 的情况即可进入下一轮循环(改变b).
