Given an array nums
of integers and an int k
, partition the array (i.e move the elements in "nums") such that:
- All elements < k are moved to the left
- All elements >= k are moved to the right
Return the partitioning index, i.e the first index i nums[i] >= k.
Notice
You should do really partition in array nums instead of just counting the numbers of integers smaller than k.
If all elements in nums are smaller than k, then return nums.length
Example:
If nums =
[3,2,2,1]
and
k=2
, a valid answer is
1
.
Challenge: Can you partition the array in-place and in O(n)?
思路:O(n)
public class Solution {
/**
*@param nums: The integer array you should partition
*@param k: As description
*return: The index after partition
*/
public int partitionArray(int[] nums, int k) {
if(nums==null || nums.length==0){
return 0;
}
int left=0;
int right=nums.length-1;
while(left<=right){
while(left<=right && nums[left]<k){
left++;
}
while(left<=right && nums[right]>=k){
right--;
}
if(left<=right){
int temp=nums[left];
nums[left]=nums[right];
nums[right]=temp;
left++;
right--;
}
}
return left;
}
}
