- Count of Smaller Number
中文English
Give you an integer array (index from 0 to n-1, where n is the size of this array, value from 0 to 10000) and an query list. For each query, give you an integer, return the number of element in the array that are smaller than the given integer.
Example
Example 1:
Input: array =[1,2,7,8,5] queries =[1,8,5]
Output:[0,4,2]
Example 2:
Input: array =[3,4,5,8] queries =[2,4]
Output:[0,1]
Challenge
Could you use three ways to do it.
Just loop
Sort and binary search
Build Segment Tree and Search.
Notice
We suggest you finish problem Segment Tree Build and Segment Tree Query II first.
解法1:排序+Binary Search。排序预处理O(nlogn)。每次查询O(logn)。
注意:
1)当存在多个target时,Binary Search是找排序后数组中的第一个target。这样,返回的index刚好就是小于其的个数。
2)当target不在排序数组中时,Binary Search返回小于target的元素个数。
代码如下:
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param A: An integer array
* @param queries: The query list
* @return: The number of element in the array that are smaller that the given integer
*/
vector<int> countOfSmallerNumber(vector<int> &A, vector<int> &queries) {
int n = A.size();
int m = queries.size();
if (m <= 0) return vector<int>();
if (n <= 0) return vector<int>(m, 0);
sort(A.begin(), A.end());
vector<int> result;
for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
result.push_back(findPos(A, queries[i]));
}
return result;
}
private:
int findPos(vector<int> &nums, int target) {
int n = nums.size();
int start = 0, end = n - 1;
while(start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (nums[mid] >= target) {
end = mid;
} else if (nums[mid] < target) {
start = mid;
}
}
if (nums[end] == target) return end;
if (nums[end] < target) return end + 1;
if (nums[start] == target) return start;
if (nums[start] < target) return start + 1;
}
};

class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param A: An integer array
* @param queries: The query list
* @return: The number of element in the array that are smaller that the given integer
*/
vector<int> countOfSmallerNumber(vector<int> &A, vector<int> &queries) {
int n = A.size();
if (n == 0) return vector<int>(queries.size());
map<int, int> num2Freq; //num, freq
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
num2Freq[A[i]]++;
}
vector<int> nums(num2Freq.size());
int index = 0;
for (auto a : num2Freq) {
nums[index++] = a.first;
}
vector<int> preSums(nums.size()); //preSum[i] is the preSum of index2Num[i];
preSums[0] = num2Freq[nums[0]];
for (int i = 1; i < nums.size(); ++i) {
preSums[i] = preSums[i - 1] + num2Freq[nums[i]];
}
vector<int> result;
for (int i = 0; i < queries.size(); ++i) {
int queryNum = queries[i];
//find the closest index in nums[] that is smaller than queryNum
int findIndex = -1;
int start = 0, end = nums.size() - 1;
while(start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end -start) / 2;
if (nums[mid] < queryNum) {
start = mid;
} else if (nums[mid] > queryNum) {
end = mid;
} else {
//findIndex = mid;
end = mid;
}
}
if (nums[start] == queryNum) findIndex = start - 1;
if (nums[end] == queryNum) findIndex = end - 1;
if (nums[end] < queryNum) findIndex = end;
else if (nums[start] < queryNum) findIndex = start;
if (findIndex == -1)
result.push_back(0);
else
result.push_back(preSums[findIndex]);
}
return result;
}
};
解法2:直接loop循环。每次用map查询。比较费时。
下次做。
解法3:线段树。预处理时间O(n),每次查询O(logn)。
代码如下:
struct SgMtTreeNode {
int start, end, count;
SgMtTreeNode *left, *right;
SgMtTreeNode(int s = 0, int e = 0, int c = 0) : start(s), end(e), count(c) {
left = nullptr;
right = nullptr;
}
};
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param A: An integer array
* @param queries: The query list
* @return: The number of element in the array that are smaller that the given integer
*/
vector<int> countOfSmallerNumber(vector<int> &A, vector<int> &queries) {
int n = A.size();
int m = queries.size();
if (n == 0) return vector<int>(m, 0);
vector<int> result;
SgMtTreeNode * root = build(0, 10000);
for (auto i : A) {
insert(root, i);
}
for (auto i : queries) {
result.push_back(query(root, i - 1)); //note: i - 1
}
return result;
}
private:
SgMtTreeNode * build(int start, int end) {
if (start > end) return nullptr;
SgMtTreeNode * root = new SgMtTreeNode(start, end, 0);
if (start == end) {
return root;
}
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
root->left = build(start, mid);
root->right = build(mid + 1, end);
return root;
}
//return the count that is smaller than target
int query(SgMtTreeNode * root, int target) {
if (!root) return 0;
if (root->start > target) return 0;
if (root->end <= target) return root->count;
return query(root->left, target) + query(root->right, target);
}
void insert(SgMtTreeNode * root, int value) {
if (!root) return;
if (root->start == root->end) {
root->count++; //duplicate numbers!!
return;
}
if (root->left && root->left->end >= value) {
insert(root->left, value);
} else if (root->right && root->right->start <= value) {
insert(root->right, value);
}
root->count++;
}
};
解法4:树状数组 TBD
