[LeetCode] 908. Smallest Range I 最小区间
Given an array `A` of integers, for each integer `A[i]` we may choose any `x` with `-K <= x <= K`, and add `x` to `A[i]`.
After this process, we have some array B
.
Return the smallest possible difference between the maximum value of B
and the minimum value of B
.
Example 1:
Input: A = [1], K = 0
Output: 0
Explanation: B = [1]
Example 2:
Input: A = [0,10], K = 2
Output: 6 Explanation: B = [2,8]
Example 3:
Input: A = [1,3,6], K = 3
Output: 0 Explanation: B = [3,3,3] or B = [4,4,4]
Note:
1 <= A.length <= 10000
0 <= A[i] <= 10000
0 <= K <= 10000
这道题说是给了一个非负数的数组,和一个非负数K,说是数组中的每一个数字都可以加上 [-K, K] 范围内的任意一个数字,问新数组的最大值最小值之间的差值最小是多少。这道题的难度是 Easy,理论上应该是可以无脑写代码的,但其实很容易想的特别复杂。本题的解题标签是 Math,这种类型的题目基本上就是一种脑筋急转弯的题目,有时候一根筋转不过来就怎么也做不出来。首先来想,既然是要求新数组的最大值和最小值之间的关系,那么肯定是跟原数组的最大值最小值有着某种联系,原数组的最大值最小值我们可以很容易的得到,只要找出了跟新数组之间的联系,问题就能迎刃而解了。题目中说了每个数字都可以加上 [-K, K] 范围内的数字,当然最大值最小值也可以,如何让二者之间的差值最小呢?当然是让最大值尽可能变小,最小值尽可能变大了,所以最大值 mx 要加上 -K,而最小值 mn 要加上K,然后再做减法,即 (mx-K)-(mn+K) = mx-mn+2K,这就是要求的答案啦,参见代码如下:
解法一:
class Solution {
public:
int smallestRangeI(vector<int>& A, int K) {
int mx = A[0], mn = A[0];
for (int num : A) {
mx = max(mx, num);
mn = min(mn, num);
}
return max(0, mx - mn - 2 * K);
}
};
我们也可以使用 STL 自带的求最大值最小值的函数,从而一行搞定碉堡了~
解法二:
class Solution {
public:
int smallestRangeI(vector<int>& A, int K) {
return max(0, *max_element(A.begin(), A.end()) - K - (*min_element(A.begin(), A.end()) + K));
}
};
