Given an array consists of non-negative integers, your task is to count the number of triplets chosen from the array that can make triangles if we take them as side lengths of a triangle.
Example 1:
Input: [2,2,3,4] Output: 3 Explanation: Valid combinations are: 2,3,4 (using the first 2) 2,3,4 (using the second 2) 2,2,3
Note:
- The length of the given array won't exceed 1000.
- The integers in the given array are in the range of [0, 1000].
思路:首先满足三角形的条件就是任意两边之和大于第三边;
array.sort之后,a < b < c, 所以,a + c > b, b + c > a 肯定成立,那么就要判断 a + b > c的个数有多少个;
那么我们就需要固定c,然后求a, b 的组合有多少个,那么就是双指针的算法;
如果a + b < c, 由于 a < b, 所以只能 a ++;
如果a + b > c, 那么count += b - a; 如果a往右边移动也是> c, 所以b 应该往左移动;
class Solution {
public int triangleNumber(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length < 3) {
return 0;
}
Arrays.sort(nums);
int count = 0;
for(int i = 2; i < nums.length; i++) {
int left = 0; int right = i - 1;
while(left < right) {
if(nums[left] + nums[right] > nums[i]) {
count += right - left;
right--;
} else {
left++;
}
}
}
return count;
}
}
