There is a queue for the self-checkout tills at the supermarket. Your task is write a function to calculate the total time required for all the customers to check out!
The function has two input variables:
- customers: an array (list in python) of positive integers representing the queue. Each integer represents a customer, and its value is the amount of time they require to check out.
- n: a positive integer, the number of checkout tills.
The function should return an integer, the total time required.
EDIT: A lot of people have been confused in the comments. To try to prevent any more confusion:
- There is only ONE queue, and
- The order of the queue NEVER changes, and
- Assume that the front person in the queue (i.e. the first element in the array/list) proceeds to a till as soon as it becomes free.
- The diagram on the wiki page I linked to at the bottom of the description may be useful.
So, for example:
queueTime([5,3,4], 1)
// should return 12
// because when n=1, the total time is just the sum of the times
queueTime([10,2,3,3], 2)
// should return 10
// because here n=2 and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th people in the
// queue finish before the 1st person has finished.
queueTime([2,3,10], 2)
// should return 12
输入的数据是一个数组但是,n的个数可以是100、或者7都可以,数组排队问题
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class Solution {
public static int solveSuperMarketQueue(int[] customers, int n) {
if((customers.length == 0) || (n == 0)) return 0;
int sum = IntStream.of(customers).sum();
if(n == 1) return sum;
int times[] = new int[n];
for (int client: customers){
Arrays.sort(times);
times[0] += client;
}
return Arrays.stream(times).max().getAsInt();
}
}
用一个数组来组装,每次拍完一个队就要排一下序。
