LeetCode | Single Number II

题目

Given an array of integers, every element appears three times except for one. Find that single one.

Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

分析1

由于int型由32bit表示，因此可以用一个长度为32的int数组保存各个比特位上1出现的次数。最后，将数组各元素对3取余，那么32位数组就纪录了只出现了一次的整数的二进制表示。

解法1

public class SingleNumberII {
	private final static int INTEGER_DIGITS = 32;

	public int singleNumber(int[] A) {
		if (A == null || A.length <= 0) {
			return 0;
		}

		int ret = 0;
		int[] count = new int[INTEGER_DIGITS];
		for (int i = 0; i < INTEGER_DIGITS; ++i) {
			for (int j = 0; j < A.length; ++j) {
				count[i] += (A[j] >> i) & 0x0001;
			}
			ret |= (count[i] % 3) << i;
		}
		return ret;
	}
}

分析2

可以用三个整数纪录32个比特位上1出现的次数，ones中比特位为1，表示该位出现了1次，twos中比特位为1，表示该位出现了2次，当某比特位出现三次后，就将ones和twos中对应比特位置为0。遍历完一遍数组后，ones即表示只出现了一次的数字。

解法2

public class SingleNumberII {
	public int singleNumber(int[] A) {
		if (A == null || A.length <= 0) {
			return 0;
		}

		int ones = 0, twos = 0, threes = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < A.length; ++i) {
			twos |= ones & A[i];
			ones ^= A[i];
			threes = ones & twos;
			ones &= ~threes;
			twos &= ~threes;
		}
		return ones;
	}
}

分析3

同样是利用三个整数纪录32个比特位上1出现的次数，不过方法看上去更简洁些，具体参考http://oj.leetcode.com/discuss/857/constant-space-solution。

同时，上述链接中还将该问题扩展至了：数组中所有整数都出现了k次，除了一个数只出现了l次，如何找到这个数。

解法3

public class SingleNumberII {
	public int singleNumber(int[] A) {
		if (A == null)
			return 0;
		int x0 = ~0, x1 = 0, x2 = 0, t;
		for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
			t = x2;
			x2 = (x1 & A[i]) | (x2 & ~A[i]);
			x1 = (x0 & A[i]) | (x1 & ~A[i]);
			x0 = (t & A[i]) | (x0 & ~A[i]);
		}
		return x1;
	}
}
