我刚刚搞砸了一次面试,而且我的面试问题几乎毫无进展。

给定一个数,找出下一个与之完全相同的更大的数 作为原始数字的数字集。例如:给定38276返回 38627

我想从找到第一个比个位小的数字的下标开始。然后我将旋转子集中的最后一个数字,这样它是由相同的数字组成的下一个最大的数字,但卡住了。

面试官还建议我试着一次换一个数字,但我搞不懂算法,只能盯着屏幕看20-30分钟。不用说,我想我还得继续找工作。


当前回答

这是个很有趣的问题。

这是我的java版本。在我检查其他贡献者的评论之前,从弄清楚模式到完全完成代码,我花了大约3个小时。很高兴看到我的想法和别人一样。

O (n)的解决方案。老实说,如果时间只有15分钟,并且要求在白板上完成完整的代码,我将会失败。

以下是我的解决方案的一些有趣点:

避免任何排序。 完全避免字符串操作 实现O(logN)空间复杂度

我在代码中添加了详细注释,并在每个步骤中添加了大O。

  public int findNextBiggestNumber(int input  )   {
    //take 1358642 as input for example.
    //Step 1: split the whole number to a list for individual digital   1358642->[2,4,6,8,5,3,1]
    // this step is O(n)
    int digitalLevel=input;

    List<Integer> orgNumbersList=new ArrayList<Integer>()   ;

    do {
        Integer nInt = new Integer(digitalLevel % 10);
        orgNumbersList.add(nInt);

        digitalLevel=(int) (digitalLevel/10  )  ;


    } while( digitalLevel >0)    ;
    int len= orgNumbersList.size();
    int [] orgNumbers=new int[len]  ;
    for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
        orgNumbers[i ]  =  orgNumbersList.get(i).intValue();
    }
    //step 2 find the first digital less than the digital right to it
    // this step is O(n)


    int firstLessPointer=1;
    while(firstLessPointer<len&&(orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]>orgNumbers[ firstLessPointer-1 ])){
        firstLessPointer++;
    }
     if(firstLessPointer==len-1&&orgNumbers[len-1]>=orgNumbers[len-2]){
         //all number is in sorted order like 4321, no answer for it, return original
         return input;
     }

    //when step 2 step finished, firstLessPointer  pointing to number 5

     //step 3 fristLessPointer found, need to find  to  first number less than it  from low digital in the number
    //This step is O(n)
    int justBiggerPointer=  0 ;

    while(justBiggerPointer<firstLessPointer&& orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]<orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]){
        justBiggerPointer++;
    }
    //when step 3 finished, justBiggerPointer  pointing to 6

    //step 4 swap the elements  of justBiggerPointer and firstLessPointer .
    // This  is O(1) operation   for swap

   int tmp=  orgNumbers[firstLessPointer] ;

    orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]=  orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]  ;
     orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]=tmp ;


     // when step 4 finished, the list looks like        [2,4,5,8,6,3,1]    the digital in the list before
     // firstLessPointer is already sorted in our previous operation
     // we can return result from this list  but  in a differrent way
    int result=0;
    int i=0;
    int lowPointer=firstLessPointer;
    //the following pick number from list from  the position just before firstLessPointer, here is 8 -> 5 -> 4 -> 2
    //This Operation is O(n)
    while(lowPointer>0)        {
        result+= orgNumbers[--lowPointer]* Math.pow(10,i);
        i++;
    }
    //the following pick number from list   from position firstLessPointer
    //This Operation is O(n)
    while(firstLessPointer<len)        {
        result+= orgNumbers[firstLessPointer++ ]* Math.pow(10,i);
        i++;
    }
     return  result;

}

1358642-->1362458
1234567-->1234576
77654321-->77654321
38276-->38627

其他回答

我们需要找到最右边的0位,后面是1,然后将最右边的0位翻转为1。

例如,我们的输入是487,也就是二进制的111100111。

我们把后面有1的0往右翻转最多

所以我们得到 111101111

但是现在我们多了一个1,少了一个0,所以我们减少了右边1的个数 位增加1,并将0位的no增加1,得到

111101011 -二进制491

int getNextNumber(int input)
{
    int flipPosition=0;
    int trailingZeros=0;
    int trailingOnes=0;
    int copy = input;

    //count trailing zeros
    while(copy != 0 && (copy&1) == 0 )
    {
        ++trailingZeros;

        //test next bit
        copy = copy >> 1;
    }

    //count trailing ones
    while(copy != 0 && (copy&1) == 1 )
    {
        ++trailingOnes;

        //test next bit
        copy = copy >> 1;
    }

    //if we have no 1's (i.e input is 0) we cannot form another pattern with 
    //the same number of 1's which will increment the input, or if we have leading consecutive
    //ones followed by consecutive 0's up to the maximum bit size of a int
    //we cannot increase the input whilst preserving the original no of 0's and
    //1's in the bit pattern
    if(trailingZeros + trailingOnes  == 0 || trailingZeros + trailingOnes == 31)
        return -1;

    //flip first 0 followed by a 1 found from the right of the bit pattern
    flipPosition = trailingZeros + trailingOnes+1;
    input |= 1<<(trailingZeros+trailingOnes);

    //clear fields to the right of the flip position
    int mask = ~0 << (trailingZeros+trailingOnes);
    input &= mask;

    //insert a bit pattern to the right of the flip position that will contain
    //one less 1 to compensate for the bit we switched from 0 to 1
    int insert = flipPosition-1;
    input |= insert;

    return input;
}

PHP实现

时间复杂度O(n)

$n = "9875";
$n_size = strlen($n);
for($i = $n_size-1; $i > 0; $i-- ) {
     if($n[$i] > $n[$i-1]){
     $temp = $n[$i];
     $n[$i] = $n[$i-1];
     $n[$i-1] = $temp;
     break;
     }
    
}

if($i == 0){
    echo "Next Greater value no possible";
}else{
    echo $n;
}

@BlueRaja算法的javascript实现。

var Bar = function(num){ 
  num = num.toString();
  var max = 0;
  for(var i=num.length-2; i>0; i--){
    var numArray = num.substr(i).split("");
    max = Math.max.apply(Math,numArray);
    if(numArray[0]<max){
        numArray.sort(function(a,b){return a-b;});
        numArray.splice(-1);
        numArray = numArray.join("");
        return Number(num.substr(0,i)+max+numArray);
    }
  }
  return -1;
};

我知道这是一个非常老的问题,但我仍然没有在c#中找到简单的代码。这可能会对参加面试的男士有所帮助。

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        int inputNumber = 629;
        int i, currentIndexOfNewArray = 0;

        int[] arrayOfInput = GetIntArray(inputNumber);
        var numList = arrayOfInput.ToList();

        int[] newArray = new int[arrayOfInput.Length];

        do
        {
            int temp = 0;
            int digitFoundAt = 0;
            for (i = numList.Count; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (numList[i - 1] > temp)
                {
                    temp = numList[i - 1];
                    digitFoundAt = i - 1;
                }
            }

            newArray[currentIndexOfNewArray] = temp;
            currentIndexOfNewArray++;
            numList.RemoveAt(digitFoundAt);
        } while (arrayOfInput.Length > currentIndexOfNewArray);



        Console.WriteLine(GetWholeNumber(newArray));

        Console.ReadKey();


    }

    public static int[] GetIntArray(int num)
    {
        IList<int> listOfInts = new List<int>();
        while (num > 0)
        {
            listOfInts.Add(num % 10);
            num = num / 10;
        }
        listOfInts.Reverse();
        return listOfInts.ToArray();
    }

    public static double GetWholeNumber(int[] arrayNumber)
    {
        double result = 0;
        double multiplier = 0;
        var length = arrayNumber.Count() - 1;
        for(int i = 0; i < arrayNumber.Count(); i++)
        {
            multiplier = Math.Pow(10.0, Convert.ToDouble(length));
            result += (arrayNumber[i] * multiplier);
            length = length - 1;
        }

        return result;
    }
}

非常简单的实现使用Javascript,下一个最高的数字与相同的数字

/*
Algorithm applied
I) Traverse the given number from rightmost digit, keep traversing till you find a digit which is smaller than the previously traversed digit. For example, if the input number is “534976”, we stop at 4 because 4 is smaller than next digit 9. If we do not find such a digit, then output is “Not Possible”.

II) Now search the right side of above found digit ‘d’ for the smallest digit greater than ‘d’. For “534976″, the right side of 4 contains “976”. The smallest digit greater than 4 is 6.

III) Swap the above found two digits, we get 536974 in above example.

IV) Now sort all digits from position next to ‘d’ to the end of number. The number that we get after sorting is the output. For above example, we sort digits in bold 536974. We get “536479” which is the next greater number for input 534976.

    // to do that first we simple take part of array, we splice it and then we apply sort fucntion, then check output (to check outputs, pls use chrome dev console)
    //and then  simply the rest concat and join to main one digit again.
