通过将任何元素减半来最小化将数组总和减半的操作
给定一个数组Arr[],任务是找出使数组元素之和小于或等于其初始值一半的最小操作数。在一种这样的操作中,允许将任何数组元素的值减半。
例子:
Input: Arr[] = [4, 6, 3, 9, 10, 2]
Output: 5
Explanation: The initial sum = (4+6+3+9+10+2) = 34
1st step: choose 10 and make it 5, sum = 29
2nd step: choose 9 and make it 4, sum = 24
3rd step: choose 6 and make it 3, sum = 21
4th step: choose 5 and make it 2, sum =18
5th step: choose 4 and make it 2, sum =16
Input: Arr[] = [1, 5, 8, 19]
Output: 3
方法:解决问题的思路是使用堆数据结构。
The target is to reduce the number of operations to make the sum of the array half, thus,
- At every operation the amount of reduction of the sum value should be as high as possible.
- To achieve that, try to choose the maximum value available on the array and reducing it to its half value.
- The best way to find the maximum value at every iteration is to use a priority_queue as a max-heap as max-heap will store the maximum value of the array at the top of the max-heap.
要实施此方法,请按照以下步骤操作:
- 通过遍历数组来计算数组元素的总和。
- 使用priority_queue初始化一个最大堆以存储数组的所有元素。
- 初始化一个计数器变量为0,这个变量将存储最少的操作次数。
- 由于最大堆的顶部将始终保存数组中存在的最大元素,因此删除顶部元素,使其减半(整数除法)并将新值输入最大堆。
- 继续上一步,直到元素的总和小于或等于其初始值。
下面是上述方法的实现:
C++
// C++ code for the above approach:
#include
using namespace std;
// Function to find minimum operations
int minops(vector& nums)
{
int sum = 0;
for (auto x : nums)
sum += x;
// Initializing max heap
priority_queue pq;
for (auto x : nums) {
pq.push(x);
}
double temp = sum;
int cnt = 0;
while (temp > sum / 2) {
int x = pq.top();
pq.pop();
temp -= ceil(x * 1.0 / 2);
pq.push(x / 2);
cnt++;
}
// Return count
return cnt;
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
vector nums = { 4, 6, 3, 9, 10, 2 };
int count = minops(nums);
cout << count << endl;
}
输出
5
时间复杂度: O(N*logN)
辅助空间: O(N)
