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].
brute force: T: O(n ^3) S: O(1)
这个题目最优解利用[LeetCode] 167. Two Sum II - Input array is sorted_Easy tag: Hash/Two pointers的做法,先将nums sort,然后将nums[2:] 中的每个数num,来判断前面有多少对数可以和num来组成triangle. Note: 这里利用了,三个数 a <= b <= c , if a + b > c, 那么一定可以成为triangle.
成为triangle的条件: a + b > c & a + c > b & b + c > a.
优化后: O(n ^ 2), S: O(1)
Code
class Solution: def validTriNum(self, nums): ans = 0 for i in range(2, len(nums)): left, right = 0, i - 1 while left < right: if nums[left] + nums[right] > target: ans += right - left right -= 1 else: left += 1 return ans
