Given an array of 2n integers, your task is to group these integers into n pairs of integer, say (a1, b1), (a2, b2), ..., (an, bn) which makes sum of min(ai, bi) for all i from 1 to n as large as possible.
由于我们要最大化每对中的较小值之和,那么肯定是每对中两个数字大小越接近越好,因为如果差距过大,而我们只取较小的数字,那么大数字就浪费掉了。明白了这一点,我们只需要给数组排个序,然后按顺序的每两个就是一对,我们取出每对中的第一个数即为较小值累加起来即可。
Solution:
int arrayPairSum(vector<int>& nums) { int sum = 0; sort(nums.begin(), nums.end()); for (int i = 0;i < nums.size();i+=2) { sum += nums[i]; } return sum; }
