【Leetcode】179. Largest Number
Given a list of non negative integers, arrange them such that they form the largest number.
For example, given [3, 30, 34, 5, 9]
, the largest formed number is 9534330
.
Note: The result may be very large, so you need to return a string instead of an integer.
分析:给定一个正整数数组,将数组的数字整合成一个最大的数字。
样例:① [3, 30, 34, 5, 9]
->9534330
②[121,12]->12121
③[0,0] -> 0
(1)将数组的数字组合,这隐含着一个大数问题,所以不可以直接用int或者long来保存结果,需要用到字符串(也可以用数组).
(2)字符串m与字符串n拼接,可以成为mn或者nm。要比较mn与nm的大小,不能直接用Arrays.sort()函数,这个函数排序后的结果为升序,重写Comparator 实现降序,才能组成最大的数字。
(3)字符串m与n的大小比较规则:当mn>nm时,m>n;
当mn=nm时,m=n;
当mn<nm时,m<n;
(4)字符串的比较规则:str1="abcda";str2="abcdb";当比较到第五个字符str1为a,str2为b 。a的ASCII码小于b的ASCII码。所以str1<str2
下面的代码 直接使用 Arrays.sort(com, new Comparator<Object>() { .....});在sort函数中重写 Comparator<Object>(),效率略低。跑完leetcode上的样例需要334ms。
public String largestNumber(int[] nums) { if (nums == null) return null; int len = nums.length; String[] com = new String[len]; int all0 = 0; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (nums[i] == 0) { all0++; System.out.println("~~~" + all0); } com[i] = Integer.toString(nums[i]); } Arrays.sort(com, new Comparator<Object>() { public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) { String str1 = (String) obj1; String str2 = (String) obj2; String com1 = str1 + str2; System.out.println("com1:" + com1); String com2 = str2 + str1; System.out.println("com2:" + com2); if (com1.compareTo(com2) >= 0) { System.out.println("com1<com2"); return -1; } else { System.out.println("com1>com2"); return 1; } } }); String ans = ""; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { ans += com[i]; } if (all0 == len) ans = "0"; return ans; }
做出以下改进 拍完样例的时间为120ms
Comparator<String> comp = new Comparator<String>() { @Override public int compare(String str1, String str2) { String s1 = str1 + str2; String s2 = str2 + str1; return s2.compareTo(s1); // reverse order here, so we can do append() later } }; Arrays.sort(com, comp);
