A non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. The consecutive elements of array A represent consecutive cars on a road.
Array A contains only 0s and/or 1s:
- 0 represents a car traveling east,
- 1 represents a car traveling west.
The goal is to count passing cars. We say that a pair of cars (P, Q), where 0 ≤ P < Q < N, is passing when P is traveling to the east and Q is traveling to the west.
For example, consider array A such that:
A[0] = 0 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 0 A[3] = 1 A[4] = 1
We have five pairs of passing cars: (0, 1), (0, 3), (0, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4).
Write a function:
int solution(vector<int> &A);
that, given a non-empty zero-indexed array A of N integers, returns the number of passing cars.
The function should return −1 if the number of passing cars exceeds 1,000,000,000.
For example, given:
A[0] = 0 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 0 A[3] = 1 A[4] = 1
the function should return 5, as explained above.
Assume that:
- N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
- each element of array A is an integer within the range [0..1].
Complexity:
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(N);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(1), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
Elements of input arrays can be modified.
从后往前遍历就好,但是交了几遍居然都过不了大数据,在expected -1的时候我还返回了实际的res,于是我就搜了下别人的代码,发现总有类似res>1000000000这么一句,我还很纳闷这个数哪里来的,直到重新看了一遍题目,才发现了The function should return −1 if the number of passing cars exceeds 1,000,000,000.
简直对自己无语。
醒醒吧亲!看清楚题目再写好吗!
希望自己别再因为粗心而摔在原本可以搞定的事情上,以此为记。
// you can also use includes, for example: // #include <algorithm> int solution(vector<int> &A) { // write your code in C++98 int countOf1 =0; int res = 0; for(int i = A.size()-1;i>=0;i--) { if(A[i]==1) countOf1+=1; else { res+=countOf1; if(res>1000000000) return -1; } } return res; }
