题目:
Given four lists A, B, C, D of integer values, compute how many tuples (i, j, k, l)
there are such that A[i] + B[j] + C[k] + D[l]
is zero.
To make problem a bit easier, all A, B, C, D have same length of N where 0 ≤ N ≤ 500. All integers are in the range of -228 to 228 - 1 and the result is guaranteed to be at most 231 - 1.
Example:
Input: A = [ 1, 2] B = [-2,-1] C = [-1, 2] D = [ 0, 2] Output: 2 Explanation: The two tuples are: 1. (0, 0, 0, 1) -> A[0] + B[0] + C[0] + D[1] = 1 + (-2) + (-1) + 2 = 0 2. (1, 1, 0, 0) -> A[1] + B[1] + C[0] + D[0] = 2 + (-1) + (-1) + 0 = 0
题意:
给定4个长度相同的数组,找出所有的下标种类(i, j, k, l),其中使得 A[i] + B[j] + C[k] + D[l]
=0。
代码:
class Solution(object):
def fourSumCount(self, A, B, C, D):
"""
:type A: List[int]
:type B: List[int]
:type C: List[int]
:type D: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
n = len(A)
if n == 0 :
return 0
else :
dic = {} #存储数组A和B的和,key为和,value为这个和的总数
for i in range(n) : #遍历A
for j in range(n) : #遍历B
temp = A[i]+B[j]
if temp not in dic :
dic[temp] = 1
else :
dic[temp] += 1
res = 0 #记录四个数组和为0的下标总数
for i in range(n) : #遍历C
for j in range(n) : #遍历D
temp = -1 * (C[i]+D[j]) #判断A+B+C+D是否为0
if temp in dic :
res += dic[temp] #如果为0,则res加上dic中这个key对应的value
return res
笔记:
刚开始定义了两个字典,分别用于存储A+B和C+D,然后再遍历字典1和字典2来判断和是否为0,但是超时了。然后修改为只用一个字典。
其实,这类题关键是看运行时间,此处可以用一个字典实现,就完全没必要用两个字典。要养成这种提高算法效率的习惯。
