599. Minimum Index Sum of Two Lists
Suppose Andy and Doris want to choose a restaurant for dinner, and they both have a list of favorite restaurants represented by strings.
You need to help them find out their common interest with the least list index sum. If there is a choice tie between answers, output all of them with no order requirement. You could assume there always exists an answer.
Example 1:
Input: ["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"] ["Piatti", "The Grill at Torrey Pines", "Hungry Hunter Steakhouse", "Shogun"] Output: ["Shogun"] Explanation: The only restaurant they both like is "Shogun".Example 2:
Input: ["Shogun", "Tapioca Express", "Burger King", "KFC"] ["KFC", "Shogun", "Burger King"] Output: ["Shogun"] Explanation: The restaurant they both like and have the least index sum is "Shogun" with index sum 1 (0+1).Note:
- The length of both lists will be in the range of [1, 1000].
- The length of strings in both lists will be in the range of [1, 30].
- The index is starting from 0 to the list length minus 1.
- No duplicates in both lists.
题目大意:
有两个字符串数组,找到他们当中相同的字符串,并求两个字符串的索引(数组的下标) 之和。把那些索引之和最小的字符串输出来。
注意,两个数组内没有相互重复的字符串。
思路:
看了Discuss中的方法。使用HashMap空间换时间,能够达到O(n+m)的复杂度。
首先,使用一个HashMap保存第一个字符串数组,key对应字符串,value对应索引。
然后,遍历第二个字符串,如果在HashMap中存在,则求索引之和,并记录到HashMap2中,key对应字符串,value对应索引之和。同时记录当前最小的索引值,记为min
最后,遍历HashMap2,把value等于min的全部输出
Java代码:
public class Solution {
public String[] findRestaurant(String[] list1, String[] list2) {
HashMap<String, Integer> map1 = new HashMap<>();
HashMap<String, Integer> map2 = new HashMap<>();
for(int i = 0; i < list1.length; i++) {
map1.put(list1[i], i);
}
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for(int i = 0; i < list2.length; i++) {
if( map1.containsKey(list2[i]) ) {
int index_sum = map1.get(list2[i]) + i;
min = Math.min(index_sum, min);
map2.put(list2[i], index_sum);
}
}
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
for(String key : map2.keySet()) {
if(min == map2.get(key)) {
list.add(key);
}
}
return list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
}
}
