646. Maximum Length of Pair Chain 最长数对链

题目地址:https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-length-of-pair-chain/description/

You are given n pairs of numbers. In every pair, the first number is always smaller than the second number.

Now, we define a pair (c, d) can follow another pair (a, b) if and only if b < c. Chain of pairs can be formed in this fashion.

Given a set of pairs, find the length longest chain which can be formed. You needn’t use up all the given pairs. You can select pairs in any order.

Example 1:

Input: [[1,2], [2,3], [3,4]]
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest chain is [1,2] -> [3,4]

Note:

  1. The number of given pairs will be in the range [1, 1000].

给出了很多区间,找出能够成的连续增长的区间的个数。区间是闭区间,不能有任何重叠。

题目给的提示是DP,我用Python的DP竟然超时了。其实我第一想法是贪心算法,在机试指南中的39页,题目是《今年暑假不AC》,原题是能收看到的最多的电视节目的数量。

这题的做法是按照每个区间的右边界进行排序,我们优先选择结束时间最早的区间,这样的贪心做法能保证最后得到的区间的数目是最多的。

这里写图片描述

Python代码:

class Solution(object):
def findLongestChain(self, pairs):
"""
:type pairs: List[List[int]]
:rtype: int
"""
pairs.sort(key=lambda x: x[1])
currTime, ans = float('-inf'), 0
for x, y in pairs:
if currTime < x:
currTime = y
ans += 1
return ans
