[LeetCode] 455. Assign Cookies_Easy tag: Sort

Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie. Each child i has a greed factor gi, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size sj. If sj >= gi, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.

Note:
You may assume the greed factor is always positive. 
You cannot assign more than one cookie to one child.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3], [1,1]
 
Output: 1
 
Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3.
And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content.
You need to output 1.

Example 2:

Input: [1,2], [1,2,3]
 
Output: 2
 
Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2.
You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children,
You need to output 2.

思路用sort, 然后把最小的饼干依次给需要最少的child, 直到没有饼干可给或者没有孩子.

        childi, cookiei = 0,0
        while childi < len(g) and cookiei < len(s):
            if s[cookiei] >= g[childi]:
                childi += 1
            cookiei += 1
        return childi
