LeetCode 0605. Can Place Flowers种花问题【Easy】【Python】【贪心】
Problem
Suppose you have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots - they would compete for water and both would die.
Given a flowerbed (represented as an array containing 0 and 1, where 0 means empty and 1 means not empty), and a number n, return if n new flowers can be planted in it without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule.
Example 1:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
Output: True
Example 2:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
Output: False
Note:
- The input array won't violate no-adjacent-flowers rule.
- The input array size is in the range of [1, 20000].
- n is a non-negative integer which won't exceed the input array size.
问题
假设你有一个很长的花坛,一部分地块种植了花,另一部分却没有。可是,花卉不能种植在相邻的地块上,它们会争夺水源,两者都会死去。
给定一个花坛(表示为一个数组包含0和1,其中0表示没种植花,1表示种植了花),和一个数 n 。能否在不打破种植规则的情况下种入 n 朵花?能则返回True,不能则返回False。
示例 1:
输入: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
输出: True
示例 2:
输入: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
输出: False
注意:
- 数组内已种好的花不会违反种植规则。
- 输入的数组长度范围为 [1, 20000]。
- n 是非负整数,且不会超过输入数组的大小。
思路
贪心
从反面来看,不能种花的情况共有三种:
- 当前位置已有花
- 位置不是头,且左边已有花
- 位置不是尾,且右边已有花
其余情况可以种花。
时间复杂度: O(len(flowerbed))
空间复杂度: O(1)
