单调栈有以下两个性质:
1、若是单调递增栈,则从栈顶到栈底的元素是严格递增的。若是单调递减栈,则从栈顶到栈底的元素是严格递减的。
2、越靠近栈顶的元素越后进栈。
单调栈与单调队列不同的地方在于栈只能在栈顶操作,因此一般在应用单调栈的地方不限定栈的大小,否则可能会造成元素无法进栈。
元素进栈过程:对于单调递增栈,若当前进栈元素为e,从栈顶开始遍历元素,把小于e或者等于e的元素弹出栈,直接遇到一个大于e的元素或者栈为空为止,然后再把e压入栈中。对于单调递减栈,则每次弹出的是大于e或者等于e的元素。
例题:
Some of Farmer John’s N cows (1 ≤ N ≤ 80,000) are having a bad hair day! Since each cow is self-conscious about her messy hairstyle, FJ wants to count the number of other cows that can see the top of other cows’ heads.
Each cow i has a specified height hi (1 ≤ hi ≤ 1,000,000,000) and is standing in a line of cows all facing east (to the right in our diagrams). Therefore, cow i can see the tops of the heads of cows in front of her (namely cows i+1, i+2, and so on), for as long as these cows are strictly shorter than cow i.
Consider this example:
=
= =
= - = Cows facing right -->
= = =
= - = = =
= = = = = =
1 2 3 4 5 6
Cow#1 can see the hairstyle of cows #2, 3, 4
Cow#2 can see no cow’s hairstyle
Cow#3 can see the hairstyle of cow #4
Cow#4 can see no cow’s hairstyle
Cow#5 can see the hairstyle of cow 6
Cow#6 can see no cows at all!
Let ci denote the number of cows whose hairstyle is visible from cow i; please compute the sum of c1 through cN.For this example, the desired is answer 3 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 5.
Input
Line 1: The number of cows,
N.
Lines 2…N+1: Line
i+1 contains a single integer that is the height of cow
i.
Output
Line 1: A single integer that is the sum of
c
1 through
cN.
