Leetcode-84. Largest Rectangle in Histogram

Given n non-negative integers representing the histogram's bar height where the width of each bar is 1, find the area of largest rectangle in the histogram.

Above is a histogram where width of each bar is 1, given height = [2,1,5,6,2,3].

 

The largest rectangle is shown in the shaded area, which has area = 10 unit.

 

For example,
Given heights = [2,1,5,6,2,3],
return 10.

 

思路:

使用Stack。

1、如果已知height数组是升序的,应该怎么做?

比如1,2,5,7,8

那么就是(1*5) vs. (2*4) vs. (5*3) vs. (7*2) vs. (8*1)

也就是max(height[i]*(size-i))

2、使用栈的目的就是构造这样的升序序列,按照以上方法求解。

但是height本身不一定是升序的,应该怎样构建栈?

比如2,1,5,6,2,3

(1)2进栈。s={2}, result = 0

(2)1比2小,不满足升序条件,因此将2弹出,并记录当前结果为2*1=2。

将2替换为1重新进栈。s={1,1}, result = 2

(3)5比1大,满足升序条件,进栈。s={1,1,5},result = 2

(4)6比5大,满足升序条件,进栈。s={1,1,5,6},result = 2

(5)2比6小,不满足升序条件,因此将6弹出,并记录当前结果为6*1=6。s={1,1,5},result = 6

2比5小,不满足升序条件,因此将5弹出,并记录当前结果为5*2=10(因为已经弹出的5,6是升序的)。s={1,1},result = 10

2比1大,将弹出的5,6替换为2重新进栈。s={1,1,2,2,2},result = 10

(6)3比2大,满足升序条件,进栈。s={1,1,2,2,2,3},result = 10

栈构建完成,满足升序条件,因此按照升序处理办法得到上述的max(height[i]*(size-i))=max{3*1, 2*2, 2*3, 2*4, 1*5, 1*6}=8<10

综上所述,result=10

 

code:

 1 class Solution {
 2 public:
 3     int largestRectangleArea(vector<int>& heights) {
 4         int result=0;
 5         stack<int> silo;
 6         for(int i=0;i<heights.size();i++)
 7         {
 8             if(silo.empty()||silo.top()<=heights[i])
 9             {
10                 silo.push(heights[i]);
11             }else
12             {
13                 int count=0;
14                 while(!silo.empty()&&heights[i]<silo.top())
15                 {
16                     count++;
17                     result=max(result,silo.top()*count);
18                     silo.pop();
19                 }
20                 while(count--)
21                 silo.push(heights[i]);
22                 silo.push(heights[i]);
23             }
24         }
25         int count=1;
26         while(!silo.empty())
27         {
28             result=max(result,silo.top()*count);
29             count++;
30             silo.pop();
31         }
32         return result;
33     }
34 };
