There are N children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value.

You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:

  • Each child must have at least one candy.
  • Children with a higher rating get more candies than their neighbors.

What is the minimum candies you must give?

题意:给定无序的数列,保证大的比两侧中小的得到的糖果多,每个至少有一个

思路:正反遍历两次,正向遍历(从左往右)时,若后者比前者大,后者在前者的基础上加1;反向遍历,后者比前者小,前者加1。正向遍历一次,还是比较好想到的,那为什么要遍历两次,若整个数列是递减数列,则若只正向遍历一遍,所有得到的糖果都是1,这显然不符合题意,如4,3,2,1 ,其实只要开始时降序的就不行。那么方向遍历过程中,是不是只要前者比后者大就加1了?不是,我们举个反例“4,1,2,1”,正向遍历是,这四个小孩的得到的糖果数是:1,1,2,1,那么反向遍历时,若只要前者比后者大就加1会得到: 2,1,3,1,这显然不符合最少糖果的要求,最少应为2,1,2,1,这是因为正向遍历中,数组A[2]对应的元素值比两边都大,已经满足了其所得糖果比两边大的条件。总结一下:正向遍历,无法满足数组首元素为降序的情况;反向遍历,若只考虑前者比后者大,不满足若某元素已经取得局部最大的情况。所以此时应该加一定的限制条件,如代码所示:

 class Solution {
public:
int candy(vector<int> &ratings)
{
int len=ratings.size();
int res=;
vector<int> cans(len,);
if(len<) return ; for(int i=;i<len-;++i)
{
if(ratings[i]<ratings[i+])
cans[i+]=cans[i]+;
}
for(int i=len-;i>;i--)
{
if(ratings[i]<ratings[i-]&&cans[i-]<=cans[i]) //限定
cans[i-]=cans[i]+;
} for(int i=;i<len;++i)
res+=cans[i]; return res;
}
};

还有一种空间复杂度为O(1)的解法,见GeekFans的博客,不过个人感觉思想类似,有兴趣可以看看。
