Given an array of citations sorted in ascending order (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher’s h-index.
According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: “A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each.”
Example:
Input: citations = [0,1,3,5,6]
Output: 3
Explanation: [0,1,3,5,6] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had
received 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 citations respectively.
Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining
two with no more than 3 citations each, her h-index is 3.
Note:
If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.
Follow up:
This is a follow up problem to H-Index, where citations is now guaranteed to be sorted in ascending order.
Could you solve it in logarithmic time complexity?
func hIndex(citations []int) int {
res := 0
n := len(citations)
l, r := 0, n-1
for l <= r {
mid := l + (r-l)/2
res = int(math.Max(float64(res), math.Min(float64(citations[mid]), float64(n-mid))))
if citations[mid] < n-mid {
l = mid + 1
} else {
r = mid - 1
}
}
return res
}
