题目:
Given a set of non-overlapping intervals, insert a new interval into the intervals (merge if necessary).
You may assume that the intervals were initially sorted according to their start times.
Example 1:
Given intervals [1,3],[6,9]
, insert and merge [2,5]
in as [1,5],[6,9]
.
Example 2:
Given [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,10],[12,16]
, insert and merge [4,9]
in as [1,2],[3,10],[12,16]
.
This is because the new interval [4,9]
overlaps with [3,5],[6,7],[8,10]
.
代码:
/** * Definition for an interval. * struct Interval { * int start; * int end; * Interval() : start(0), end(0) {} * Interval(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval>& intervals, Interval newInterval) { vector<Interval> ret; int i = 0; // search for start insert position for ( ; i<intervals.size(); ++i ) { if ( newInterval.start > intervals[i].end ) { ret.push_back(intervals[i]); } else { break; } } // newInterval larger than all the existed intervals if ( i==intervals.size() ) { ret.push_back(newInterval); return ret; } int start = std::min( intervals[i].start, newInterval.start ); // search for the end insert position for ( ;i<intervals.size();++i ) { if ( newInterval.end <= intervals[i].end ) break; } // newInterval end is larger than all the range if ( i==intervals.size() ) { ret.push_back(Interval(start, newInterval.end)); return ret; } if ( newInterval.end<intervals[i].start ) { ret.push_back(Interval(start,newInterval.end)); ret.insert(ret.end(), intervals.begin()+i, intervals.end()); return ret; } if ( newInterval.end==intervals[i].start ) { ret.push_back(Interval(start,intervals[i].end)); if ( i<intervals.size()-1 ) { ret.insert(ret.end(), intervals.begin()+i+1, intervals.end()); } return ret; } if ( newInterval.end > intervals[i].start ) { ret.push_back(Interval(start,intervals[i].end)); if ( i<intervals.size()-1 ) { ret.insert(ret.end(), intervals.begin()+i+1,intervals.end()); } return ret; } } };
tips:
这道题的总体感觉就是很繁琐,因为要考虑各种边界情况,等或者不等;虽然能AC但是这一版代码比较丑陋。
看能不能改一版漂亮一些的。
===================================
学习了一个迭代版的,代码很漂亮,但是会超时。
/** * Definition for an interval. * struct Interval { * int start; * int end; * Interval() : start(0), end(0) {} * Interval(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval>& intervals, Interval newInterval) { vector<Interval>::iterator it = intervals.begin(); while ( it!=intervals.end() ) { if ( newInterval.end < it->start ) { intervals.insert(it, newInterval); return intervals; } else if ( it->end < newInterval.start ) { it++; } else { newInterval.start = std::min(newInterval.start, it->start); newInterval.end = std::max(newInterval.end, it->end); intervals.erase(it); } } intervals.insert(intervals.end(), newInterval); return intervals; } };
=======================================
还是觉得自己的第一次AC的代码太乱,网上搜了一下,模仿大神(http://yucoding.blogspot.sg/2013/01/leetcode-question-35-insert-interval.html)重新写了一版AC的代码。
/** * Definition for an interval. * struct Interval { * int start; * int end; * Interval() : start(0), end(0) {} * Interval(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval>& intervals, Interval newInterval) { vector<Interval> ret; // insert the new Interval vector<Interval>::iterator it = intervals.begin(); for( ; it!=intervals.end(); ++it ) { if ( newInterval.start < it->start ) { intervals.insert(it, newInterval); break; } } if ( it==intervals.end() ) { intervals.insert(it, newInterval); } // merge the intervals ret.push_back(*intervals.begin()); for ( it=intervals.begin()+1; it!=intervals.end(); ++it ) { if ( it->start > ret.back().end ) { ret.push_back(*it); } else { ret.back().start = std::min(ret.back().start, it->start); ret.back().end = std::max(ret.back().end, it->end); } } return ret; } };
tips:
这一版的代码采用了新的思路。
1. 题中给定了原有的interval集合是按照start排好序的;因此,首先要找到合适的位置,将newInterval插进去。
2. 插进去之后,就有可能存在intervals之间存在overlap的情况,因此再merge(http://www.cnblogs.com/xbf9xbf/p/4557153.html)一遍就OK。
在merge的过程中有个细节:不用维护start和end,ret.back().start和ret.back().end就可以。这个比自己原来写的merge intervals要好,学习了这个细节。
=============================================
第二次过这道题,直接参照的最简洁的思路:
(1)先insert:条件是i->end > newInterval.start(即肯定有重叠) 根据newInterval.start的大小先插进去
(2)再merge:修改ret.back().start和ret.back().end的值
/** * Definition for an interval. * struct Interval { * int start; * int end; * Interval() : start(0), end(0) {} * Interval(int s, int e) : start(s), end(e) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: vector<Interval> insert(vector<Interval>& intervals, Interval newInterval) { vector<Interval> ret; vector<Interval>::iterator i=intervals.begin(); for ( ; i!=intervals.end(); ++i ) { if ( i->end > newInterval.start ){ intervals.insert(i, newInterval); break; } } if ( i==intervals.end() ) intervals.insert(i, newInterval); ret.push_back(*intervals.begin()); for ( i=intervals.begin()+1; i!=intervals.end(); ++i ) { if ( i->start > ret.back().end ) { ret.push_back(*i); } else { ret.back().start = min(ret.back().start, i->start); ret.back().end = max(ret.back().end, i->end); } } return ret; } };
=========================================
第三次过这道题,终于理清楚了。
类似这样的图形去理解interval insert 和 merge
