(每日算法)LeetCode -- Merge Sorted Array (合并有序数组)




Given two sorted integer arrays A and B, merge B into A as one sorted array.

Note:
You may assume that A has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from B. The number of elements initialized in A and B are m andn respectively.

按照归并排序的惯性思路,因为归并排序中给定的是一个数组的两个区间,所以通常情况下会借助O(n)大小的辅助空间。思路如下:


class Solution {
public:
    void merge(int A[], int m, int B[], int n) {
        int temp[m+n];
        int i = 0, j = 0, t = 0;
        while(i < m && j < n)
        {
            if(A[i] < B[j])
                temp[t++] = A[i++];
            else
                temp[t++] = B[j++];
        }
        while(i < m)
            temp[t++] = A[i++];
        while(j < n)
            temp[t++] = B[j++];
        while(--t >= 0)
            A[t] = temp[t];
    }
};

但是上述题目给定的条件更加灵活,因此可以采用尾插法,这样就不再需要辅助空间的开销,理解上也更加简洁:


class Solution {
public:
    void merge(int A[], int m, int B[], int n) {
        int ia = m - 1, ib = n - 1, icur = m + n - 1;
        while(ia >= 0 && ib >= 0)
            A[icur--] = A[ia] > B[ib] ? A[ia--] : B[ib--];
        while(ib >=0)
            A[icur--] = B[ib--];
    }
};
