稀疏数组搜索。有个排好序的字符串数组,其中散布着一些空字符串,编写一种方法,找出给定字符串的位置。
示例1:
输入: words = ["at", "", "", "", "ball", "", "", "car", "", "","dad", "", ""], s = "ta"
输出:-1
说明: 不存在返回-1。
示例2:输入:words = ["at", "", "", "", "ball", "", "", "car", "", "","dad", "", ""], s = "ball"
输出:4

方法一:暴力搜索
直接循环遍历数组返回索引。
代码:
public static int findString(String[] words, String s) {
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
if(s.equals(words[i])) {
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
方法二:二分查找法
分别记录数组的最左边和最右边的索引,遇到空字符串时将两个指针分别向前向后移动,然后根据二分查找的方式来找到目标字符串。
代码:
public static int findString(String[] words, String s) {
int len = words.length;
int l = 0;
int r = len - 1;
while (l <= r) {
while (l <= r && words[l].equals(""))
l++;
while (l <= r && words[r].equals(""))
r--;
int mid = l + (r - 1) / 2;
while (mid <= r && words[mid].equals(""))
mid++;
if (words[mid].compareTo(s) == 0) {
return mid;
}
if (words[mid].compareTo(s) > 0) {
r = mid - 1;
} else {
l = mid + 1;
}
}
return -1;
}
