Suppose you have a random list of people standing in a queue. Each person is described by a pair of integers
(h, k)
, where h
is the height of the person and k
is the number of people in front of this person who have a height greater than or equal to h
. Write an algorithm to reconstruct the queue.
Note:
The number of people is less than 1,100.
The number of people is less than 1,100.
Example
Input: [[7,0], [4,4], [7,1], [5,0], [6,1], [5,2]] Output: [[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]]
[Analysis]
Be Greedy. Person (h,k) at position 0 should have k=0. So group all (h,0), the one with smallest h' is at position 0. Then look at all other persons (h,k) whose h is greater or equal to h', decrease their k by 1 (because h' contribute 1 to their k values). Repeat the previous steps and find person at position 1, .., n. The time complexity is O(N^2).
Another way to reconstruct the queue is by sorting. Suppose a person (h',k'), all persons (h,k) with greater or equal height have been in a sorted queue Q, the k' is the right position to insert (h',k') into the Q and create a Q' while maintaining all existing (h,k). Repeat the same process on Q' and remaining persons. The time complexity is O(N^2).
[Solution]
//-- using sorting --
class Solution {
public:
vector<pair<int, int>> reconstructQueue(vector<pair<int, int>>& people) {
auto comp=[](pair<int,int> &a, pair<int,int> &b)
{ return a.first<b.first || a.first==b.first && a.second > b.second;};
sort (people.begin(), people.end(), comp);
vector<int,int> res;
for (int i=people.size(); i>=0; i++)
res.(res.begin()+people[i].second, people[i]);
}
};
//--greedy --
class Solution {
public:
vector<pair<int, int>> reconstructQueue(vector<pair<int, int>>& people) {
vector<pair<int, int>> rslt;
vector<pair<int, int>> bak (people);
auto comp= [](pair<int, int> a, pair<int,int> b)
{ return a.second < b.second || a.second ==b.second && a.first<b.first;};
while (rslt.size()!= people.size() ) {
auto it = min_element(bak.begin(), bak.end(), comp);
rslt.push_back(people[it-bak.begin()] );
it->second = INT_MAX;
for (auto &p: bak) {
if (p.second!=INT_MAX && p.first<=it->first) {
p.second --;
}
}
}
return rslt;
}
};
