561.Array Partition I
这是leetCode第561题,难度Easy
题目
Given an array of 2n integers, your task is to group these integers into n pairs of integer, say (a1, b1), (a2, b2), ..., (an, bn) which makes sum of min(ai, bi) for all i from 1 to n as large as possible.
意思是:给出一个2n个整数的数组,你的任务是将这些整数分组为n对整数,如(a1,b1),(a2,b2),...(an,bn)从而在i为1到n的时候,使(ai,bi)最小值的总和尽可能得大
Example 1:
Input: [1,4,3,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: n is 2, and the maximum sum of pairs is 4 = min(1, 2) + min(3, 4).
Note:
- n is a positive integer, which is in the range of [1, 10000].
- All the integers in the array will be in the range of [-10000, 10000].
思路:
要把n组整数的最小值的和,尽可能大。就意味着,要尽可能的把大一些的值分在一组,小一点的值分在一组,这样得到n个最小值的时候,大一点的数字就多,小一点的数字就小,结果就尽可能大。
因此,我们需要对数组进行排序,从小到大排序。从数组索引位置0开始,俩俩为一组。那么每组最小值的索引就是0,2,4,...
代码如下:
var arrayPairSum = function (nums) {
var l = nums.length;
var sum = 0;
//对数组进行排序,从小到大排
nums.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a < b) {
return -1;
} else {
return 1;
}
});
for (var i = 0; i < l; i += 2) {
//每一组的最小值,索引都是偶数
sum += nums[i];
}
return sum;
};
