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。

我只测试了两个数字。他们工作。 在去年12月退休之前,我做了8年的IT经理,我关心三件事: 1)准确性:如果它总是有效,那就很好。 2)速度:用户可以接受。 3)明确:我可能没有你聪明,但我付你薪水。确保你用英语解释你在做什么。
奥马尔,祝你好运。

这里是Java实现
public static int nextHigherNumber(int number) {
Integer[] array = convertToArray(number);
int pivotIndex = pivotMaxIndex(array);
int digitInFirstSequence = pivotIndex -1;
int lowerDigitIndexInSecondSequence = lowerDigitIndex(array[digitInFirstSequence], array, pivotIndex);
swap(array, digitInFirstSequence, lowerDigitIndexInSecondSequence);
doRercursiveQuickSort(array, pivotIndex, array.length - 1);
return arrayToInteger(array);
}
public static Integer[] convertToArray(int number) {
int i = 0;
int length = (int) Math.log10(number);
int divisor = (int) Math.pow(10, length);
Integer temp[] = new Integer[length + 1];
while (number != 0) {
temp[i] = number / divisor;
if (i < length) {
++i;
}
number = number % divisor;
if (i != 0) {
divisor = divisor / 10;
}
}
return temp;
}
private static int pivotMaxIndex(Integer[] array) {
int index = array.length - 1;
while(index > 0) {
if (array[index-1] < array[index]) {
break;
}
index--;
}
return index;
}
private static int lowerDigitIndex(int number, Integer[] array, int fromIndex) {
int lowerMaxIndex = fromIndex;
int lowerMax = array[lowerMaxIndex];
while (fromIndex < array.length - 1) {
if (array[fromIndex]> number && lowerMax > array[fromIndex]) {
lowerMaxIndex = fromIndex;
}
fromIndex ++;
}
return lowerMaxIndex;
}
public static int arrayToInteger(Integer[] array) {

这里是单元测试

public void nextHigherNumberTest() {
assertThat(ArrayUtils.nextHigherNumber(34722641), is(34724126));
assertThat(ArrayUtils.nextHigherNumber(123), is(132));
}
public static void findNext(long number){
/* convert long to string builder */
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
s.append(number);
int N = s.length();
int index=-1,pivot=-1;
/* from tens position find the number (called pivot) less than the number in right */
for(int i=N-2;i>=0;i--){
int a = s.charAt(i)-'0';
int b = s.charAt(i+1)-'0';
if(a<b){
pivot = a;
index =i;
break;
}
}
/* if no such pivot then no solution */
if(pivot==-1) System.out.println(" No such number ")
else{

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;

取一个数,把它分成几位数。如果我们有一个5位数,我们就有5位数:abcde
现在交换d和e,并与原来的数字进行比较,如果它更大,你就得到了答案。
如果它不是很大,交换e和c。现在比较,如果它更小,再次交换d和e(注意递归),取最小的。
一直算下去,直到找到一个更大的数字。通过递归,它应该相当于9行方案,或20行c#。
解决方案(在Java中)可能是以下(我相信这里的朋友可以找到更好的): 从字符串的末尾开始交换数字,直到得到一个更高的数字。 也就是说,首先从下位开始移动。然后到达下一个更高的地方,直到你到达下一个更高的地方。 然后对剩下的进行排序。 在你的例子中,你会得到:
38276 --> 38267 (smaller) --> 38627 Found it
