N couples sit in 2N seats arranged in a row and want to hold hands. We want to know the minimum number of swaps so that every couple is sitting side by side. A swap consists of choosing any two people, then they stand up and switch seats.

The people and seats are represented by an integer from 0 to 2N-1, the couples are numbered in order, the first couple being (0, 1), the second couple being (2, 3), and so on with the last couple being (2N-2, 2N-1).

The couples' initial seating is given by row[i] being the value of the person who is initially sitting in the i-th seat.

Example 1:

Input: row = [0, 2, 1, 3]
Output: 1
Explanation: We only need to swap the second (row[1]) and third (row[2]) person.

Example 2:

Input: row = [3, 2, 0, 1]
Output: 0
Explanation: All couples are already seated side by side.

Note:

  1. len(row) is even and in the range of [4, 60].
  2. row is guaranteed to be a permutation of 0...len(row)-1.

思路:遇到一个不是cp的,就把cp交换到旁边

这看起来是brute force,其实也是最greedy和最optimal的做法

无非就是不匹配的cps组成一个环(长度为N)嘛,最少需要N-1次总的交换

然后交换一下当前不匹配的cp,就把当前cp从环里面拿出来,剩下N-1长度的环,一直按照这样的方法交换下去就是optimal的

蕴含一点数学在里面的

class Solution:
    def minSwapsCouples(self, row):
        """
        :type row: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        d = {}
        for i, v in enumerate(row):
            d[v] = i
        
        ret = 0
        for i in range(0, len(row), 2):
            cp = row[i]^1
            if row[i+1] == cp: continue
            d[row[i+1]] = d[cp]
            row[i+1], row[d[cp]] = cp, row[i+1]
            ret += 1
        
        return ret

s=Solution()
print(s.minSwapsCouples([0,2,4,6,7,1,3,5]))

print(s.minSwapsCouples([0,2,1,3]))
print(s.minSwapsCouples([3,2,0,1]))
