[LeetCode] 941. Valid Mountain Array 验证山形数组
Given an array `A` of integers, return `true` if and only if it is a *valid mountain array*.
Recall that A is a mountain array if and only if:
A.length >= 3
- There exists some
i
with0 < i < A.length - 1
such that:A[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i]
A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]
Example 1:
Input: [2,1]
Output: false
Example 2:
Input: [3,5,5]
Output: false
Example 3:
Input: [0,3,2,1]
Output: true
Note:
0 <= A.length <= 10000
0 <= A[i] <= 10000
这道题定义了一种山形数组,长度大于等于3,并且存在一个峰值,左右两边的数字都必须严格递减,不允许有相等的值存在。就是说从开头遍历,一定是严格递增的,直到到达峰值,然后严格递减到末尾,那么可以从开头进行 while 循环,若当前数字小于右边的数字,则i自增1,为了避免溢出,i只能遍历到倒数第二个数字,这样当循环结束的时候,i指向的数字是大于等于右边的数字,是潜在的峰值,当然这里是不能相等的,但此时不需要判断。同样的操作反向来一遍,j从最后一个数字遍历到第二个数字,若当前数字小于其左边的数字时,则j自减1,这样循环结束后,j指向的数字是大于等于左边的数字的,也是潜在的峰值。接下来就要比较这两个峰值是否指向同一个数字,同时i指向的数字不能是第一个,j指向的数字不能是最后一个数字,因为必须要有上坡和下坡的存在,参见代码如下:
class Solution {
public:
bool validMountainArray(vector<int>& A) {
int n = A.size(), i = 0, j = n - 1;
while (i < n - 1 && A[i] < A[i + 1]) ++i;
while (j > 0 && A[j - 1] > A[j]) --j;
return i > 0 && j < n - 1 && i == j;
}
};
