Best Cow Line
Description
FJ is about to take his N (1 ≤ N ≤ 2,000) cows to the annual"Farmer of the Year" competition. In this contest every farmer arranges his cows in a line and herds them past the judges.
The contest organizers adopted a new registration scheme this year: simply register the initial letter of every cow in the order they will appear (i.e., If FJ takes Bessie, Sylvia, and Dora in that order he just registers BSD). After the registration phase ends, every group is judged in increasing lexicographic order according to the string of the initials of the cows' names.
FJ is very busy this year and has to hurry back to his farm, so he wants to be judged as early as possible. He decides to rearrange his cows, who have already lined up, before registering them.
FJ marks a location for a new line of the competing cows. He then proceeds to marshal the cows from the old line to the new one by repeatedly sending either the first or last cow in the (remainder of the) original line to the end of the new line. When he's finished, FJ takes his cows for registration in this new order.
Given the initial order of his cows, determine the least lexicographic string of initials he can make this way.
* Line 1: A single integer: N
* Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single initial ('A'..'Z') of the cow in the ith position in the original lineOutput
The least lexicographic string he can make. Every line (except perhaps the last one) contains the initials of 80 cows ('A'..'Z') in the new line.Sample Input6 A C D B C BSample Output
ABCBCD解题思路
给一个字符串 在头或尾取字符排列成字典序最小的字符串 测例中ACDBCB 重排之后不是ABCDBC 而是ABCBCD
比较首尾字符大小输出小的 若相等则比较下一组
#include<cstdio>
#include<algorithm>
#include<cmath>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
char q[2010];
int solve(int head,int tail)
{
if(head>=tail) return 0; //若余下的全部相等不妨输出前面的 注意是>=
if(q[head]<q[tail]) return 0;
if(q[head]>q[tail]) return 1;
return solve(head+1,tail-1); //若相等 则比较下一组
}
int main()
{
// freopen("in.txt","r",stdin);
// freopen("out.txt","w",stdout);
int n,h,t,k=1;
scanf("%d",&n);
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
scanf(" %c",&q[i]); //" %c" %c前加空格可以吸收空格回车
}
h=0,t=n-1; //初始化
while(h<=t){ //'='是为了输出剩余的最后的字符
if(solve(h,t)) printf("%c",q[t--]);
else printf("%c",q[h++]);
if(!(k++%80)) printf("\n"); //题中要求满80个换行
}
return 0;
}
本文介绍了一种算法,该算法用于将给定的一串字符通过仅从头部或尾部选择字符的方式重新排列,最终得到字典序最小的字符串。算法通过递归地比较字符串两端的字符,并决定先输出哪个字符来实现目标。文章还提供了一个具体的示例和完整的源代码。
