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。

如果你用c++编程,你可以使用next_permutation:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  using namespace std; 
   string x;
   while (cin >> x) {
    cout << x << " -> ";
    next_permutation(x.begin(),x.end());
    cout << x << "\n";
  }
  return 0;
}

Ruby的解决方案

def next_bigger(num)
  char_array = num.to_s.split('')
  return -1 if char_array.uniq.size == 1

  arr, target_idx, target_char = [], nil, nil
  # get first left-digit less than the right from right side
  (char_array.count - 1).times do |i|
    arr.unshift(char_array[-(i+1)])

    if char_array[-(i+2)] < char_array[-(i+1)]
      target_idx = char_array.count - (i + 2)
      target_char = char_array[-(i+2)]
      arr.unshift(char_array[-(i+2)])
      break
    end
  end
  return -1 unless target_idx

  # first smallest digit larger than target_char to the right
  ((target_char.to_i + 1)..9).to_a.each do |ch|
    if arr.index(ch.to_s)
      flip_char = arr.delete_at(arr.index(ch.to_s))
      # sort the digits to the right of flip_char
      arr.sort!
      # place flip_char to the left of target_char
      arr.unshift(flip_char)
      break
    end
  end

  (char_array[0...target_idx] + arr).join().to_i
end
int t,k,num3,num5;
scanf("%d",&t);
int num[t];
for(int i=0;i<t;i++){
    scanf("%d",&num[i]);   
}
for(int i=0;i<t;i++){
    k=(((num[i]-1)/3)+1); 
    if(k<0)
        printf("-1");
    else if(num[i]<3 || num[i]==4 || num[i]==7)
        printf("-1");
    else{
        num3=3*(2*num[i] - 5*k);
        num5=5*(3*k -num[i]);
        for(int j=0;j<num3;j++)
            printf("5");
        for(int j=0;j<num5;j++)
            printf("3");
    }
    printf("\n");
}

你的想法

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。

其实还不错。您不仅要考虑最后一位数字,还要考虑所有比当前考虑的不那么重要的数字。在此之前,我们有一个单调的数字序列,即最右边的数字比它右边的邻居小。把

1234675
    ^

下一个有相同数字的大数是

1234756

将找到的数字交换为最后一位数字(考虑的数字中最小的数字),其余数字按递增顺序排列。

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) {
    int number = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        number+=array[i] * Math.pow(10, array.length-1-i);
    }
    return number;
}

这里是单元测试

@Test
public void nextHigherNumberTest() {
    assertThat(ArrayUtils.nextHigherNumber(34722641), is(34724126));
    assertThat(ArrayUtils.nextHigherNumber(123), is(132));
}

I didn't know anything about the brute force algorithm when answering this question, so I approached it from another angle. I decided to search the entire range of possible solutions that this number could possibly be rearranged into, starting from the number_given+1 up to the max number available (999 for a 3 digit number, 9999 for 4 digits, etc.). I did this kind of like finding a palindrome with words, by sorting the numbers of each solution and comparing it to the sorted number given as the parameter. I then simply returned the first solution in the array of solutions, as this would be the next possible value.

下面是我的Ruby代码:

def PermutationStep(num)

    a = []
    (num.to_s.length).times { a.push("9") }
    max_num = a.join('').to_i
    verify = num.to_s.split('').sort
    matches = ((num+1)..max_num).select {|n| n.to_s.split('').sort == verify }

    if matches.length < 1
      return -1
    else
      matches[0]
    end
end
