#390. Elimination Game
There is a list of sorted integers from 1 to n. Starting from left to right, remove the first number and every other number afterward until you reach the end of the list.
Repeat the previous step again, but this time from right to left, remove the right most number and every other number from the remaining numbers.
We keep repeating the steps again, alternating left to right and right to left, until a single number remains.
Find the last number that remains starting with a list of length n.
Input:
n = 9,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2 4 6 8
2 6
6
Output:
6
My solution:
当cnt次做左到右时,都是删除了奇数,剩下的数/2,就是n/2进行cnt+1次删除。 只有从右向左删才可能删除偶数,删除了偶数则剩下的数可以整理为y,y*2-1可以表示删除前的数。
n表示从1-n的数字,cnt表示第几次删减,奇数次为从左到右,偶数次从右到左
int lastRemaining(int n) {
return helper(n,1);
}
int helper(int n,int cnt)
{
if(n==1) return 1;
if(cnt%2==1)
{
return helper(n/2,cnt+1)*2;
}
else if(cnt%2==0)
{
if(n%2==0)
{
return helper(n/2,cnt+1)*2-1;
}
else
return helper(n/2,cnt+1)*2;
}
}

The gray code is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit.
Given a non-negative integer n representing the total number of bits in the code, print the sequence of gray code. A gray code sequence must begin with 0.
For example, given n = 2, return [0,1,3,2]. Its gray code sequence is:
public List<Integer> grayCode(int n) {
List<Integer> result = new LinkedList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < 1<<n; i++) result.add(i ^ i>>1);
return result;
}
unsigned int binaryToGray(unsigned int num)
{
return (num >> 1) ^ num;
}
/*
The purpose of this function is to convert a reflected binary
Gray code number to a binary number.
*/
unsigned int grayToBinary(unsigned int num)
{
unsigned int mask;
for (mask = num >> 1; mask != 0; mask = mask >> 1)
{
num = num ^ mask;
}
return num;
}
