Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.
Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements.
Example 1:
Input: [3,6,9,1]
Output: 3
Explanation: The sorted form of the array is [1,3,6,9], either
(3,6) or (6,9) has the maximum difference 3.
Example 2:
Input: [10]
Output: 0
Explanation: The array contains less than 2 elements, therefore return 0.
Note:
You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range.
Try to solve it in linear time/space.
给出一个整数数组,求数组排序后的版本中,相邻元素的最大间距。
思路1:
直接排序,然后遍历数组求最大间距,要是按这个思路,那这道题就不是Hard了,虽然题中说要线性复杂度,排序是O(nlogn),但是用排序写出来可以通过,而且居然超过了92.59%
public int maximumGap(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length <= 1) {
return 0;
}
Arrays.sort(nums);
int maxGap = 0;
for(int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
int diff = nums[i] - nums[i - 1];
maxGap = Math.max(maxGap, diff);
}
return maxGap;
}
思路2:
桶排序,待更新
