面试题33：把数组排成最小的数

题目描述

输入一个正整数数组，把数组里所有数字拼接起来排成一个数，打印能拼接出的所有数字中最小的一个。例如输入数组{3,32,321}，则打印出这3个数字能排成的最小数字321323.

代码实现

// int型整数用十进制表示最多只有10位
const int g_MaxNumberLength = 10;
 
char* g_StrCombine1 = new char[g_MaxNumberLength * 2 + 1];
char* g_StrCombine2 = new char[g_MaxNumberLength * 2 + 1];
 
void PrintMinNumber(int* numbers, int length)
{
    if(numbers == NULL || length <= 0)
        return;
 
    char** strNumbers = (char**)(new int[length]);
    for(int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
    {
        strNumbers[i] = new char[g_MaxNumberLength + 1];
        sprintf(strNumbers[i], "%d", numbers[i]);
    }
 
    qsort(strNumbers, length, sizeof(char*), compare);
 
    for(int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
        printf("%s", strNumbers[i]);
    printf("\n");
 
    for(int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
        delete[] strNumbers[i];
    delete[] strNumbers;
}
 
// 如果[strNumber1][strNumber2] > [strNumber2][strNumber1], 返回值大于0
// 如果[strNumber1][strNumber2] = [strNumber2][strNumber1], 返回值等于0
// 如果[strNumber1][strNumber2] < [strNumber2][strNumber1], 返回值小于0
int compare(const void* strNumber1, const void* strNumber2)
{
    // [strNumber1][strNumber2]
    strcpy(g_StrCombine1, *(const char**)strNumber1);
    strcat(g_StrCombine1, *(const char**)strNumber2);
 
    // [strNumber2][strNumber1]
    strcpy(g_StrCombine2, *(const char**)strNumber2);
    strcat(g_StrCombine2, *(const char**)strNumber1);
 
    return strcmp(g_StrCombine1, g_StrCombine2);
}
