题目描述:
Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie. Each child i has a greed factor gi, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size sj. If sj >= gi, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.
Note:
You may assume the greed factor is always positive.
You cannot assign more than one cookie to one child.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3], [1,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3.
And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content.
You need to output 1.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2], [1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2.
You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children,
You need to output 2.
题目解答:该题目很明显是一个贪心问题,对于贪心问题,一是要optimal structure,二是具有greedy selection贪心选择策略。对于该题,可以考虑先对两个数组进行排序,双指针i和j,保证指针i,j前的数组是当前能够满足的最大孩子数。
python代码:
class Solution:
def findContentChildren(self, g, s):
"""
:type g: List[int]
:type s: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
if not g:
return 0
g.sort()
s.sort()
res = 0
i, j = 0, 0
while i < len(g) and j < len(s):
if s[j] >= g[i]:
res += 1
i += 1
j += 1
return res
