Given an integer array, find a subarray with sum closest to zero.
Return the indexes of the first number and last number.
Example
Given [-3, 1, 1, -3, 5], return [0, 2], [1, 3], [1, 1], [2, 2] or [0, 4]
Challenge
O(nlogn) time
题 Zero Sum Subarray | Data Structure and Algorithm 的变形题,由于要求的子串和不一定,故哈希表的方法不再适用,使用解法4 - 排序即可在 内解决。具体步骤如下:
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param nums: A list of integers
* @return: A list of integers includes the index of the first number
* and the index of the last number
*/
vector<int> subarraySumClosest(vector<int> nums){
vector<int> result;
if (nums.empty()) {
return result;
}
const int num_size = nums.size();
vector<pair<int, int> > sum_index(num_size + 1);
for (int i = 0; i < num_size; ++i) {
sum_index[i + 1].first = sum_index[i].first + nums[i];
sum_index[i + 1].second = i + 1;
}
sort(sum_index.begin(), sum_index.end());
int min_diff = INT_MAX;
int closest_index = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < num_size + 1; ++i) {
int sum_diff = abs(sum_index[i].first - sum_index[i - 1].first);
if (min_diff > sum_diff) {
min_diff = sum_diff;
closest_index = i;
}
}
int left_index = min(sum_index[closest_index - 1].second,\
sum_index[closest_index].second);
int right_index = -1 + max(sum_index[closest_index - 1].second,\
sum_index[closest_index].second);
result.push_back(left_index);
result.push_back(right_index);
return result;
}
};
为避免对单个子串和是否为最小情形的单独考虑,我们可以采取类似链表 dummy 节点的方法规避,简化代码实现。故初始化sum_index
时需要num_size + 1
个。这里为避免 vector 反复扩充空间降低运行效率,使用resize
一步到位。sum_index
即最后结果中left_index
和right_index
等边界可以结合简单例子分析确定。
