[LeetCode]75. Sort Colors

索引的使用

Posted by JinFei on December 26, 2019

题目描述

Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them in-place so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white and blue. Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.

NOTE

You are not suppose to use the library’s sort function for this problem.

Example:

Input: [2,0,2,1,1,0] Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2]

Follow up:

  • A rather straight forward solution is a two-pass algorithm using counting sort. First, iterate the array counting number of 0’s, 1’s, and 2’s, then overwrite array with total number of 0’s, then 1’s and followed by 2’s.

  • Could you come up with a one-pass algorithm using only constant space?

解题思路

  • 设置一个cnt从0开始
  • 遍历这个序列,如果是0,与num[cnt]交换位置
  • 然后重新遍历这个序列,如果是1,与num[cnt]交换位置
  • 这样0,1就交换完了,剩下的就是2了
  • 时间复杂度O(n)

C++代码

class Solution {
public:
    void sortColors(vector<int>& nums) {
        int cnt = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++){
            if(nums[i] == 0){
                swap(nums[i], nums[cnt]);
                cnt++;
            }
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++){
            if(nums[i] == 1){
                swap(nums[i], nums[cnt]);
                cnt++;
            }
        }
    }
};
