题目描述

Alice has a hand of cards, given as an array of integers.

Now she wants to rearrange the cards into groups so that each group is size W, and consists of W consecutive cards.

Return true if and only if she can.

Example 1:

Input: hand = [1,2,3,6,2,3,4,7,8], W = 3
Output: true
Explanation: Alice's hand can be rearranged as [1,2,3],[2,3,4],[6,7,8].

Example 2:

Input: hand = [1,2,3,4,5], W = 4
Output: false
Explanation: Alice's hand can't be rearranged into groups of 4.

Note:

  1. 1 <= hand.length <= 10000
  2. 0 <= hand[i] <= 10^9
  3. 1 <= W <= hand.length

题目大意

给出了一堆扑克牌,也给出了一个数字W,看这堆扑克牌能不能恰好全部拼成长度为W的顺子。

解题方法

这个思路可以说很暴力了。先做个统计,得出手里都有哪些牌,然后找出最小的牌,从这个牌开始长度为W的遍历,判断能否构成长度为W的顺子,就这样求下去即可,直到所有的牌都结束。

做了一个优化的地方,找出最小的牌的个数,因为这个最小的牌只能和比它大的牌构成顺子,所以我们可以在遍历的时候把后面的牌的个数全部剪掉这个数字。

代码如下:

class Solution(object):
    def isNStraightHand(self, hand, W):
        """
        :type hand: List[int]
        :type W: int
        :rtype: bool
        """
        cards = collections.Counter(hand)
        while cards:
            start = min(cards.keys()) 
            start_val = cards[start]
            for card in range(start, start + W):
                if card not in cards:
                    return False
                cards[card] -= start_val
                if cards[card] == 0:
                    cards.pop(card)
                elif cards[card] < 0:
                    return False
        return not cards

同样的做法,如果提前做一个排序还是能加快这个运算的,这样就不用每次都去求min了。里面用到的一个技巧是range(W)之后做了一个翻转,也就是说先从大的值开始减,这样能保证cards[start]不受干扰。

class Solution(object):
    def isNStraightHand(self, hand, W):
        """
        :type hand: List[int]
        :type W: int
        :rtype: bool
        """
        cards = collections.Counter(hand)
        for start in sorted(cards):
            if cards[start] > 0:
                for j in range(W)[::-1]:
                    if start + j not in cards:
                        return False
                    cards[start + j] -= cards[start]
                    if cards[start + j] < 0:
                        return False
        return True

用C++刷题的时候,使用Map保存每个数字的数量,因为map是自动排好序的。所以少了排序的步骤。统计个数之后,直接进行遍历,对于每个数字都向他后面搜索W - 1个数字。方法比较直白。

class Solution {
public:
    bool isNStraightHand(vector<int>& hand, int W) {
        map<int, int> count;
        for (int h : hand) {
            ++count[h];
        }
        for (auto c : count) {
            int cur = c.first;
            int n = c.second;
            if (n > 0) {
                for (int i = 1; i < W; ++i) {
                    if (!count.count(cur + i)) {
                        return false;
                    }
                    count[cur + i] -= n;
                    if (count[cur + i] < 0)
                        return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
};
