Given a positive integer n and you can do operations as follow:
- If n is even, replace n with
n/2
. - If n is odd, you can replace n with either
n + 1
orn - 1
.
What is the minimum number of replacements needed for n to become 1?
Example 1:
Input: 8 Output: 3 Explanation: 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
Example 2:
Input: 7 Output: 4 Explanation: 7 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 or 7 -> 6 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1
处理一下边界,其余情况?递归大法好~
public class Solution {
public static int integerReplacement(int n)
{
if(n==1)
return 0;
if(n==Integer.MAX_VALUE)
return 32;
if(n%2==0)
return integerReplacement(n/2)+1;
return Math.min(integerReplacement(n+1),integerReplacement(n-1))+1;
}
}
