A non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. The consecutive elements of array A represent consecutive cars on a road.
Array A contains only 0s and/or 1s:
0 represents a car traveling east,
1 represents a car traveling west.
The goal is to count passing cars. We say that a pair of cars (P, Q), where 0 ≤ P < Q < N, is passing when P is traveling to the east and Q is traveling to the west.
For example, consider array A such that:
A[0] = 0
A[1] = 1
A[2] = 0
A[3] = 1
A[4] = 1
We have five pairs of passing cars: (0, 1), (0, 3), (0, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4).
Write a function:
class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); }
that, given a non-empty zero-indexed array A of N integers, returns the number of pairs of passing cars.
The function should return −1 if the number of pairs of passing cars exceeds 1,000,000,000.
For example, given:
A[0] = 0
A[1] = 1
A[2] = 0
A[3] = 1
A[4] = 1
the function should return 5, as explained above.
Assume that:
N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
each element of array A is an integer that can have one of the following values: 0, 1.
Complexity:
expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
expected worst-case space complexity is O(1), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
Solution
class Solution {
public int solution(int[] A) {
int sumofZero=0;
int result=0;
for(int i=0; i<A.length; i++){
if(A[i]==0) sumofZero++;
else{
result+=sumofZero;
}
}
if(result < 0 || result > 1000000000)
return -1;
return result;
}
}
点评
假设有数组B[k]保存截至到A[k]有多少对,B[k+1]=B[k]+之前0出现的个数。如果(0,1)(1,0)均符合条件,可以分别统计(0,1)和(1,0),也是只需要遍历一遍。
