题目
Median of Two Sorted Arrays There are two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively. Find the median of the two sorted arrays. The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)). You may assume nums1 and nums2 cannot be both empty. Example 1: nums1 = [1, 3] nums2 = [2] The median is 2.0 Example 2: nums1 = [1, 2] nums2 = [3, 4] The median is (2 + 3)/2 = 2.5
主要思想
为找到合适的位置划分两个数组:
在nums1和nums2两个数组中分别截取i,j两个长度,将两个数组划分成4部分,使
- 划分后两个数组的左部分的数量和与右部分数量和相等 i+j == (m+n)/2 (奇数偶数情况都满足此式) &&
- 左部分的最大值小于右部分的最小值 max(nums1[i-1], nums2[j-1]) < min(nums1[i], nums2[j]) (由于数组有序)
注: i==0时,nums所有元素被分配到右方; i==nums1.length时,nums所有元素被分到左方
则:
- 当m+n为偶数时,(max(nums1[i-1], nums1[j-1]) + min(nums1[i], nums2[j]))/2对应的位置为中位数的位置
- 当m+n为奇数时,max(nums1[i-1], nums1[j-1])对应的位置为中位数的位置
具体实现
在nums1中二分查找i,对于每个i可以直接计算 j=(m+n)/2-i,然后判断是否满足条件,不满足条件则继续搜索。
主要的麻烦在于处理几个极端情况,i、j为0和长度为最大时。
leetcode题目的解决方案提到需要让i成为较长的数组,上面的处理没用到。
此时算法复杂度为O(log(m)),将数组调换位置,每次搜索较短的数组,能够将算法复杂度降低到O**(log(min(m,n)))。
