Two Sum - Less than or equal to target Lintcode
Given an array of integers, find how many pairs in the array such that their sum is less than or equal to
a specific target number. Please return the number of pairs.
Example
Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15]
, target = 24
.
Return 5
.
2 + 7 < 24
2 + 11 < 24
2 + 15 < 24
7 + 11 < 24
7 + 15 < 25
这道题自己乱写了半天。。。但是屡清思路的话就很简单。。。= =
把数组排序。先把首尾相加,如果小于等于target,就说明每个数和第一个数相加都是小于target的,这个时候count += end - start。此时需注意把start往前挪一位继续进行计算。如果大于target,就说明最后一个数太大了,往前挪一个。
另外注意一下终止条件,一开始写的是start + 1 < end,但是这样子start + 1 == end的时候不会判断,所以条件是start < end。
回顾一下吧,思路还比较巧妙。
