Majority Element I && II

题目

本次主要涉及 3 个题目。前两个题目是 Majority Element I 和 II,第三个是一个类似的应用。

Majority Element

Given an array of size n, find the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊ n/2 ⌋ times.

You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array.

Example 1:

Input: [3,2,3]

Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: [2,2,1,1,1,2,2]

Output: 2

Majority Element II

Given an integer array of size n, find all elements that appear more than ⌊ n/3 ⌋ times.

Note: The algorithm should run in linear time and in O(1) space.

Example 1:

Input: [3,2,3]

Output: [3]

Example 2:

Input: [1,1,1,3,3,2,2,2]

Output: [1,2]

String Compression

Given an array of characters, compress it in-place.

The length after compression must always be smaller than or equal to the original array.

Every element of the array should be a character (not int) of length 1.

After you are done modifying the input array in-place, return the new length of the array.

Follow up: Could you solve it using only O(1) extra space?

Example 1:

Input: [“a”,”a”,”b”,”b”,”c”,”c”,”c”]

Output: Return 6, and the first 6 characters of the input array should be: [“a”,”2”,”b”,”2”,”c”,”3”]

Explanation: “aa” is replaced by “a2”. “bb” is replaced by “b2”. “ccc” is replaced by “c3”.

Example 2:

Input: [“a”]

Output: Return 1, and the first 1 characters of the input array should be: [“a”]

Explanation: Nothing is replaced.

Example 3:

Input: [“a”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”]

Output: Return 4, and the first 4 characters of the input array should be: [“a”,”b”,”1”,”2”].

Explanation: Since the character “a” does not repeat, it is not compressed. “bbbbbbbbbbbb” is replaced by “b12”. Notice each digit has it’s own entry in the array.

Note:

  • All characters have an ASCII value in [35, 126].
  • 1 <= len(chars) <= 1000.

解法

算法复杂度 O(n),空间复杂度 O(1)

思路

第二题的思路相对直接会有一点绕。其仍然是 count 的想法,但是维护了两个计数器。

字符压缩题中也使用了类似的 count 思想,但是需要注意在循环之后还需要将最后一个可能的重复字符给补上。

代码

    int majorityElement(vector<int>& nums) {
        int element = 0;
        int count = 0;
        for (int& num : nums) {
            if (count == 0) {
                count = 1;
                element = num;
            } else if (num == element) {
                ++count;
            } else {
