Given a list of sorted characters letters containing only lowercase letters, and given a target letter target, find the smallest element in the list that is larger than the given target.
Letters also wrap around. For example, if the target is target = ‘z’ and letters = [‘a’, ‘b’], the answer is ‘a’.
Examples:
Input:
letters = [“c”, “f”, “j”]
target = “a”
Output: “c”
Input:
letters = [“c”, “f”, “j”]
target = “c”
Output: “f”
Input:
letters = [“c”, “f”, “j”]
target = “d”
Output: “f”
Input:
letters = [“c”, “f”, “j”]
target = “g”
Output: “j”
做法:一次遍历,记录最小字符和比target大一点的最小字符。
class Solution {
public char nextGreatestLetter(char[] letters, char target) {
char res=' ';
char min='z';
int least=30;
for(int i=0;i<letters.length;i++){
if((letters[i]-target)>0&&(letters[i]-target)<least) {
least= letters[i]-target;
res=letters[i];
}
if((letters[i]-min)<=0 ) min=letters[i];
}
return res==' '?min:res;
}
}
