Majority Number III
Given an array of integers and a number k,
the majority number is the number that occurs more than 1/k of the size of the array.
Find it.
Example
Given [3,1,2,3,2,3,3,4,4,4] and k=3, return 3.
Note
There is only one majority number in the array.
Challenge
O(n) time and O(k) extra space
解题思路:对 K-1个数进行相互抵消,这里不太可能使用 key1, key2...等变量,用数组使用上不太方便,且增删效率不高,故使用哈希表较为合适,当哈希表的键值数等于 K 时即进行清理,当然更准备地来讲应该是等于 K-1时清理。故此题的逻辑即为:1. 更新哈希表,若遇哈希表 size == K 时则执行删除操作,最后遍历哈希表取真实计数器值,返回最大的 key.
Java代码:
private void removeZeroCount(HashMap<Integer, Integer> hash) {
Set<Integer> keySet = hash.keySet();
for (int key : keySet) {
hash.put(key, hash.get(key) - 1);
}
Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, Integer>> it = hash.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry = it.next();
if (entry.getValue() == 0) {
it.remove();
}
}
}
public int majorityNumber(ArrayList<Integer> nums, int k) {
HashMap<Integer, Integer> hash = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
if (nums == null || nums.isEmpty()) return -1;
// update HashMap
for (int num : nums) {
if (!hash.containsKey(num)) {
hash.put(num, 1);
if (hash.size() >= k) {
removeZeroCount(hash);
}
} else {
hash.put(num, hash.get(num) + 1);
}
}
// reset
for (int key : hash.keySet()) {
hash.put(key, 0);
}
for (int key : nums) {
if (hash.containsKey(key)) {
hash.put(key, hash.get(key) + 1);
}
}
// find max
int maxKey = -1, maxCount = 0;
for (int key : hash.keySet()) {
if (hash.get(key) > maxCount) {
maxKey = key;
maxCount = hash.get(key);
}
}
return maxKey;
}
