- 描述:Alex and Lee play a game with piles of stones. There are an even number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones piles[i].
The objective of the game is to end with the most stones. The total number of stones is odd, so there are no ties.
Alex and Lee take turns, with Alex starting first. Each turn, a player takes the entire pile of stones from either the beginning or the end of the row. This continues until there are no more piles left, at which point the person with the most stones wins.
Assuming Alex and Lee play optimally, return True if and only if Alex wins the game.
Example 1:
Input: [5,3,4,5]
Output: true
Explanation:
Alex starts first, and can only take the first 5 or the last 5.
Say he takes the first 5, so that the row becomes [3, 4, 5].
If Lee takes 3, then the board is [4, 5], and Alex takes 5 to win with 10 points.
If Lee takes the last 5, then the board is [3, 4], and Alex takes 4 to win with 9 points.
This demonstrated that taking the first 5 was a winning move for Alex, so we return true.
Note:
2 <= piles.length <= 500
piles.length is even.
1 <= piles[i] <= 500
sum(piles) is odd.
- 分析:Alex和Lee两个人从石头堆里取石头,石头个数为偶数,石头权值之和为奇数(无平局)。Alex先手取,要求判断Alex是否会获胜。
- 思路一:对数组进行排序,Alex和Lee从大到小每次各取一个。
class Solution {
public:
bool stoneGame(vector<int>& piles) {
int Alex_sum = 0, Lee_sum = 0;
sort(piles.begin(), piles.end());
for (int i = piles.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
Lee_sum += piles[i];
} else {
Alex_sum += piles[i];
}
}
return Alex_sum > Lee_sum;
}
};
- 思路二:由于Alex先手且无平局,则Alex一定会获胜。。。。。。
class Solution {
public:
bool stoneGame(vector<int>& piles) {
return true; //Alex 必胜
}
};
