题目:
There are N children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value.
You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:
- Each child must have at least one candy.
- Children with a higher rating get more candies than their neighbors.
What is the minimum candies you must give?
Example 1:
Input: [1,0,2]
Output: 5
Explanation: You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 2, 1, 2 candies respectively.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 1, 2, 1 candies respectively.
The third child gets 1 candy because it satisfies the above two conditions.
代码:
class Solution {
public:
int candy(vector<int>& ratings) {
int res = 0, n = ratings.size();
vector<int> nums(n, 1);
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; ++i) {
if (ratings[i + 1] > ratings[i]) nums[i + 1] = nums[i] + 1;
}
for (int i = n - 1; i > 0; --i) {
if (ratings[i - 1] > ratings[i]) nums[i - 1] = max(nums[i - 1], nums[i] + 1);
}
for (int num : nums) res += num;
return res;
}
};
