1. Description
You are given a data structure of employee information, which includes the employee’s unique id, his importance value and his direct subordinates’ id.
For example, employee 1 is the leader of employee 2, and employee 2 is the leader of employee 3. They have importance value 15, 10 and 5, respectively. Then employee 1 has a data structure like [1, 15, [2]], and employee 2 has [2, 10, [3]], and employee 3 has [3, 5, []]. Note that although employee 3 is also a subordinate of employee 1, the relationship is not direct.
Now given the employee information of a company, and an employee id, you need to return the total importance value of this employee and all his subordinates.
Example 1:
Input: [[1, 5, [2, 3]], [2, 3, []], [3, 3, []]], 1
Output: 11
Explanation:
Employee 1 has importance value 5, and he has two direct subordinates: employee 2 and employee 3. They both have importance value 3. So the total importance value of employee 1 is 5 + 3 + 3 = 11
Note:
One employee has at most one direct leader and may have several subordinates.The maximum number of employees won’t exceed 2000.
2. Naive Analysis
很简单的一道题目,找到源结点,根据广度优秀搜索遍历就行了。因为算法中涉及到每一个相关id需要查找到对应结点,所以算法的时间复杂度为 O(V2) ,V为结点数。
3. Naive Solution
/*
// Employee info
class Employee {
public:
// It's the unique ID of each node.
// unique id of this employee
int id;
// the importance value of this employee
int importance;
// the id of direct subordinates
vector<int> subordinates;
};
*/
class Solution {
public:
/*
* 根据id找到employee
*/
static Employee* selectById(vector<Employee*>& employees, int id) {
for(int i = 0; i < employees.size(); i++) {
if((employees[i])->id == id) {
return employees[i];
}
}
return NULL;
}
/*
* 先找到出发的结点,再根据此结点展开广度优先搜索,
* 因为每次都需要查找结点,所以时间复杂度为O(n^2)
*/
int getImportance(vector<Employee*> employees, int id) {
queue<Employee*> tmp;
Employee *ptr = NULL, *source = NULL, *sub = NULL;
int count = 0;
source = selectById(employees, id);
if(source != NULL)
tmp.push(source);
while(!tmp.empty()) {
ptr = tmp.front();
tmp.pop();
count += ptr->importance;
vector<int> t_vec = ptr->subordinates;
for(int j = 0; j < t_vec.size(); j++) {
sub = selectById(employees, t_vec[j]);
if(sub != NULL)
tmp.push(sub);
}
}
return count;
}
};
4. 优化
如果给定的employees向量是按id排序的,那么可以直接存取,那么就无须维护一个Employee指正的队列而转而维护一个Id的队列,这样不就在空间,时间上也得到了优化。
class Solution {
public:
int getImportance(vector<Employee*> employees, int id) {
queue<int> tmp;
int index;
int count = 0;
tmp.push(id);
while(!tmp.empty()) {
index = tmp.front();
tmp.pop();
count += (employees[index-1])->importance;
vector<int> t_vec = (employees[index-1])->subordinates;
for(int j = 0; j < t_vec.size(); j++) {
tmp.push(t_vec[j]);
}
}
return count;
}
};
