Stack is one of the most fundamental data structures, which is based on the principle of Last In First Out (LIFO). The basic operations include Push (inserting an element onto the top position) and Pop (deleting the top element). Now you are supposed to implement a stack with an extra operation: PeekMedian -- return the median value of all the elements in the stack. With N elements, the median value is defined to be the (N/2)-th smallest element if N is even, or ((N+1)/2)-th if N is odd.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains a positive integer N (≤105). Then N lines follow, each contains a command in one of the following 3 formats:
Push key
Pop
PeekMedian
where key
is a positive integer no more than 105.
Output Specification:
For each Push
command, insert key
into the stack and output nothing. For each Pop
or PeekMedian
command, print in a line the corresponding returned value. If the command is invalid, print Invalid
instead.
Sample Input:
17
Pop
PeekMedian
Push 3
PeekMedian
Push 2
PeekMedian
Push 1
PeekMedian
Pop
Pop
Push 5
Push 4
PeekMedian
Pop
Pop
Pop
Pop
Sample Output:
Invalid
Invalid
3
2
2
1
2
4
4
5
3
Invalid
解题思路:
题目大意是模拟一个堆栈,并添加返回中位数功能。
直接采用stack容器实现堆栈的压栈和弹栈功能,并用两个multiset(具有自动排序功能)容器s1,s2来保存中位数。设定中位数存储在s1的最后一位,s1要么比s2多一个元素,要么s1和s2元素相等,每当弹栈和压栈之后,都需要对s1和s2进行调整,如果s1元素小于s2,则将s2第一位元素移动至s1最后一位;如果s1的元素比s2多两个及以上,将s1的最后元素移动至s2首位。每次返回中位数时,直接返回s1的最后一位。
AC代码:
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include <stack>
using namespace std;
multiset<int> s1,s2;
stack<int> s;
int mid;
void adjust(){
multiset<int>::iterator it;
if(s1.size()<s2.size()){
it=s2.begin();
s1.insert(*it);
s2.erase(s2.begin());
}
else if(s1.size()>s2.size()+1){
it=s1.end();
it--;
s2.insert(*it);
s1.erase(it);
}
if(!s.empty()){
it=s1.end();
it--;
mid=*it;
}
}
int main(){
int N;
cin>>N;
char order[12];
while(N--){
scanf("%s",order);
if(order[1]=='u'){
int a;
scanf("%d",&a);
if(s.empty()||a<=mid)
s1.insert(a);
else
s2.insert(a);
s.push(a);
adjust();
}
else if(order[1]=='o'){
if(s.empty())
printf("Invalid\n");
else{
printf("%d\n",s.top());
if(s.top()<=mid)
s1.erase(s1.find(s.top()));
else
s2.erase(s2.find(s.top()));
s.pop();
adjust();
}
}
else{
if(s.empty())
printf("Invalid\n");
else{
multiset<int>::iterator it;
it=s1.end();
it--;
printf("%d\n",*it);
}
}
}
}
