How Many Numbers Are Smaller Than the Current Number (E)

Given the array nums, for each nums[i] find out how many numbers in the array are smaller than it. That is, for each nums[i] you have to count the number of valid j's such that j != i and nums[j] < nums[i].

Return the answer in an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [8,1,2,2,3]
Output: [4,0,1,1,3]
Explanation: 
For nums[0]=8 there exist four smaller numbers than it (1, 2, 2 and 3). 
For nums[1]=1 does not exist any smaller number than it.
For nums[2]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1). 
For nums[3]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1). 
For nums[4]=3 there exist three smaller numbers than it (1, 2 and 2).

Example 2:

Input: nums = [6,5,4,8]
Output: [2,1,0,3]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [7,7,7,7]
Output: [0,0,0,0]

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 500
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 100

题意

对于一个数组nums中的每一个数nums[i],统计小于nums[i]的数的个数。

思路

  1. 暴力法。
  2. Hash。
  3. 二分搜索。

代码实现 - 暴力法

class Solution {
    public int[] smallerNumbersThanCurrent(int[] nums) {
        int[] ans = new int[nums.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < nums.length; j++) {
                if (j != i && nums[j] < nums[i]) {
                    ans[i]++;
                }
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
}

代码实现 - Hash

class Solution {
    public int[] smallerNumbersThanCurrent(int[] nums) {
        int[] ans = new int[nums.length];
        Map<Integer, Integer> hash = new TreeMap<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (!hash.containsKey(nums[i])) {
                hash.put(nums[i], 1);
            } else {
                hash.put(nums[i], hash.get(nums[i]) + 1);
            }
        }
        int sum = 0;
        for (int key : hash.keySet()) {
            int temp = sum + hash.get(key);
            hash.put(key, sum);
            sum = temp;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < ans.length; i++) {
            ans[i] = hash.get(nums[i]);
        }
        return ans;
    }
}

代码实现 - 二分法

class Solution {
    public int[] smallerNumbersThanCurrent(int[] nums) {
        int[] ans = new int[nums.length];
        int[] copy = Arrays.copyOf(nums, nums.length);
        Arrays.sort(copy);
        for (int i = 0; i < ans.length; i++) {
            ans[i] = binarySearch(copy, nums[i]);
        }
        return ans;
    }

    private int binarySearch(int[] nums, int target) {
        int left = 0, right = nums.length - 1;
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
            if (nums[mid] < target) {
                left = mid + 1;
            } else if (nums[mid] >= target) {
                right = mid;
            }
        }
        return left;
    }
}

It turns out there are only 30 of them, and based on some zebra-like number zi , the next one can be calculated using the formula zi+1=4⋅zi+1 . Then, we have to be able to quickly calculate the zebra value for an arbitrary number x . Since each subsequent zebra-like number is approximately 4 times larger than the previous one, intuitively, it seems like a greedy algorithm should be optimal: for any number x , we can determine its zebra value by subtracting the largest zebra-like number that does not exceed x , until x becomes 0 . Let's prove the correctness of the greedy algorithm: Assume that y is the smallest number for which the greedy algorithm does not work, meaning that in the optimal decomposition of y into zebra-like numbers, the largest zebra-like number zi that does not exceed y does not appear at all. If the greedy algorithm works for all numbers less than y , then in the decomposition of the number y , there must be at least one number zi−1 . And since y−zi−1 can be decomposed greedily and will contain at least 3 numbers zi−1 , we will end up with at least 4 numbers zi−1 in the decomposition. Moreover, there will be at least 5 numbers in the decomposition because 4⋅zi−1<zi , which means it is also less than y . Therefore, if the fifth number is 1 , we simply combine 4⋅zi−1 with 1 to obtain zi ; otherwise, we decompose the fifth number into 4 smaller numbers plus 1 , and we also combine this 1 with 4⋅zi−1 to get zi . Thus, the new decomposition of the number y into zebra-like numbers will have no more numbers than the old one, but it will include the number zi — the maximum zebra-like number that does not exceed y . This means that y can be decomposed greedily. We have reached a contradiction; therefore, the greedy algorithm works for any positive number. Now, let's express the greedy decomposition of the number x in a more convenient form. We will represent the decomposition as a string s of length 30 consisting of digits, where the i -th character will denote how many zebra numbers zi are present in this decomposition. Let's take a closer look at what such a string might look like: si∈{0,1,2,3,4} ; if si=4 , then for any j<i , the character sj=0 (this follows from the proof of the greedy algorithm). Moreover, any number generates a unique string of this form. This is very similar to representing a number in a new numeric system, which we will call zebroid. In summary, the problem has been reduced to counting the number of numbers in the interval [l,r] such that the sum of the digits in the zebroid numeral system equals x . This is a standard problem that can be solved using dynamic programming on digits. Instead of counting the suitable numbers in the interval [l,r] , we will count the suitable numbers in the intervals [1,l] and [1,r] and subtract the first from the second to get the answer. Let dp[ind][sum][num_less_m][was_4] be the number of numbers in the interval [1,m] such that: they have ind+1 digits; the sum of the digits equals sum ; num_less_m=0 if the prefix of ind+1 digits of the number m is lexicographically greater than these numbers, otherwise num_less_m=1 ; was_4=0 if there has not been a 4 in the ind+1 digits of these numbers yet, otherwise was_4=1 . Transitions in this dynamic programming are not very difficult — they are basically appending a new digit at the end. The complexity of the solution is O(log2A) , if we estimate the number of zebra-like numbers up to A=1018 as logA .
