Black Box--[优先队列 、最大堆最小堆的应用]
Description
Our Black Box represents a primitive database. It can save an integer array and has a special i variable. At the initial moment Black Box is empty and i equals 0. This Black Box processes a sequence of commands (transactions). There are two types of transactions:
ADD (x): put element x into Black Box;
GET: increase i by 1 and give an i-minimum out of all integers containing in the Black Box. Keep in mind that i-minimum is a number located at i-th place after Black Box elements sorting by non- descending.
Let us examine a possible sequence of 11 transactions:
Example 1
It is required to work out an efficient algorithm which treats a given sequence of transactions. The maximum number of ADD and GET transactions: 30000 of each type.
Let us describe the sequence of transactions by two integer arrays:
1. A(1), A(2), ..., A(M): a sequence of elements which are being included into Black Box. A values are integers not exceeding 2 000 000 000 by their absolute value, M <= 30000. For the Example we have A=(3, 1, -4, 2, 8, -1000, 2).
2. u(1), u(2), ..., u(N): a sequence setting a number of elements which are being included into Black Box at the moment of first, second, ... and N-transaction GET. For the Example we have u=(1, 2, 6, 6).
The Black Box algorithm supposes that natural number sequence u(1), u(2), ..., u(N) is sorted in non-descending order, N <= M and for each p (1 <= p <= N) an inequality p <= u(p) <= M is valid. It follows from the fact that for the p-element of our u sequence we perform a GET transaction giving p-minimum number from our A(1), A(2), ..., A(u(p)) sequence.
ADD (x): put element x into Black Box;
GET: increase i by 1 and give an i-minimum out of all integers containing in the Black Box. Keep in mind that i-minimum is a number located at i-th place after Black Box elements sorting by non- descending.
Let us examine a possible sequence of 11 transactions:

解题思路分析:
拿到这道题最先想到的思路是(错误):
1.用队列保存add命令,用vector保存进入黑箱的元素。
2.每次向黑箱加入元素后,对黑箱中元素排序,输出第i个元素。
这个算法看似没用问题,但实际上,经过极端数据测试,在M、N均为30000时,跑完程序需要2.7s,会超时,原因是每一次添加完元素后都要对所有元素排序,时间开销太大了。然而经过分析容易发现,实际上并没有必要每次都对所有元素排序,我们只需要保存前i-1小的元素,然后找出第i个元素起之后的最小元素与前i-1个元素中最大的元素比较,即可得到第i小的元素。这样思路就明了了,
下面给出正确思路:
1.用优先队列分别建立最小堆(顶部最小)和最大堆(顶部最大);
2.每次i增加时,将最小堆顶部元素加入最大堆;
3.每次加入元素时比较最小堆顶部元素和最大堆顶部元素,如果“top小”>“top大”,则交换两个堆顶部元素;
4.输出最小堆顶部元素。
注意优先队列的两种用法:
1. 标准库默认使用元素类型的<操作符来确定它们之间的优先级关系。
priority_queue<int> q;
通过<操作符可知在整数中元素大的优先级高。
2. 数据越小,优先级越高 greater<int> 定义在头文件 <functional>中
priority_queue<int, vector<int>, greater<int> >q;
3.自定义比较运算符<
代码如下:
1 #include <iostream> 2 #include <set> 3 #include <vector> 4 #include <cstdio> 5 #include <queue> 6 #include <algorithm> 7 #include <time.h> 8 #include <functional> 9 using namespace std; 10 #define clock__ (double(clock())/CLOCKS_PER_SEC) 11 12 int M,N; 13 queue<int> A;//存储add命令 14 priority_queue<int,vector<int>,greater<int> > A_min;//最小堆 15 priority_queue<int> A_max;//最大堆 16 int i; 17 18 int main() { 19 20 i=0; 21 scanf("%d%d",&M,&N); 22 while (M--) { 23 int a; 24 scanf("%d",&a); 25 A.push(a); 26 } 27 while(N--){ 28 int u; 29 scanf("%d",&u); 30 i++; 31 if(A_min.size()!=0) { 32 A_max.push(A_min.top()); 33 A_min.pop(); 34 } 35 int n=u-(A_min.size()+A_max.size()); 36 while(n--){ 37 A_min.push(A.front());A.pop(); 38 if(A_max.size()&&A_min.size()&&A_min.top()<A_max.top()){ 39 int a=A_max.top(); A_max.pop(); 40 int b=A_min.top(); A_min.pop(); 41 A_min.push(a);A_max.push(b); 42 } 43 } 44 printf("%d\n",A_min.top()); 45 46 } 47 // cout<<"time : "<<clock__<<endl; 48 return 0; 49 }
