Description
Given a non-empty array of non-negative integers nums, the degree of this array is defined as the maximum frequency of any one of its elements.
Your task is to find the smallest possible length of a (contiguous) subarray of nums, that has the same degree as nums.
Example 1:
Input: [1, 2, 2, 3, 1]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The input array has a degree of 2 because both elements 1 and 2 appear twice.
Of the subarrays that have the same degree:
[1, 2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2, 3], [2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2], [2, 2, 3], [2, 2]
The shortest length is 2. So return 2.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,2,3,1,4,2]
Output: 6
Note:
nums.length will be between 1 and 50,000.
nums[i] will be an integer between 0 and 49,999.
Solution
一个数组中出现最多的元素的频率称为数组的度,找到数组中包括了这个度的连续子序列的最短长度。
We use a hash map to contain the frequence of each element in the array, then get the max frequence by a for loop.
After get the max frequence, we iterate map.keySet() for another time, find the element who have the max frequence. Then using two pointers to search from head and tail, and get the subarray, count it length.
Code
class Solution {
public int findShortestSubArray(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length == 0){
return 0;
}
Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (int n : nums){
map.put(n, map.getOrDefault(n, 0) + 1);
}
int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for (Integer n : map.keySet()){
max = Math.max(max, map.get(n));
}
int res = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (Integer n : map.keySet()){
if (map.get(n) == max){
int i = 0, j = nums.length - 1;
while (i < j){
if (nums[i] == n && nums[j] == n){
break;
}
if (nums[i] != n){
i++;
}
if (nums[j] != n){
j--;
}
}
res = Math.min(res, j - i + 1);
}
}
return res;
}
}
Time Complexity: O(n^2)
Space Complexity: O(n)
