题目原型:
Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white and blue.
Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.
Note:
You are not suppose to use the library‘s sort function for this problem.
Follow up:
A rather straight forward solution is a two-pass algorithm using counting sort.
First, iterate the array counting number of 0‘s, 1‘s, and 2‘s, then overwrite array with total number of 0‘s, then 1‘s and followed by 2‘s.
Could you come up with an one-pass algorithm using only constant space?
基本思路:
把红色往左边移,把蓝色往右边移动。
public void swap(int[] A,int i,int j) { int tmp = A[i]; A[i] = A[j]; A[j] = tmp; } public void sortColors(int[] A) { if (A==null||A.length == 1) return ; int left = 0; int right = A.length-1; int current = 0; while(current<=right)//注意这里是小于等于,防止出现{1,0}的情况 { if(A[current]==0) { swap(A, left, current); left++; if(current<left)//防止出现首个元素就是0的情况 current = left; } else if(A[current]==2) { swap(A, right, current); right--; } else current++; } }
