题目:
Given two sorted integer arrays A and B, merge B into A as one sorted array.
Note:
You may assume that A has enough space (size that is greater or equal to m + n) to hold additional elements from B. The number of elements initialized in A and B are m and nrespectively.
class Solution {
public:
void merge(int A[], int m, int B[], int n) {
int abIndex = m + n - 1;
int aIndex = m - 1;
int bIndex = n - 1;
while(aIndex >= 0 && bIndex >= 0) {
if(A[aIndex] > B[bIndex]) {
A[abIndex--] = A[aIndex--];
}
else {
A[abIndex--] = B[bIndex--];
}
}
while(bIndex >= 0) {
A[abIndex--] = B[bIndex--];
}
}
};
思路:
如果企图从头到尾把B中的元素插入到A中,插入位置后面的所有元素整体后移的办法,那效率确实有些低。
本文所示代码的算法是从后往前插入,开始插入的位置为m+n-1,由此保证插入过程不会覆盖掉A原有的元素值。
