744. 寻找比目标字母大的最小字母
给你一个排序后的字符列表 letters ,列表中只包含小写英文字母。另给出一个目标字母 target,请你寻找在这一有序列表里比目标字母大的最小字母。
在比较时,字母是依序循环出现的。举个例子:
如果目标字母target = 'z'
并且字符列表为letters = ['a', 'b']
,则答案返回'a'
示例:
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "a"
输出: "c"
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "c"
输出: "f"
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "d"
输出: "f"
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "g"
输出: "j"
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "j"
输出: "c"
输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
输出: "c"
题解
语言:C++
思路:二分法
class Solution {
public:
char nextGreatestLetter(vector<char>& letters, char target) {
int l = 0;
int r = letters.size() - 1;
if(letters[r] <= target){
return letters[l];
}
while(l < r){
int mid = l + r >> 1;
if(letters[mid] > target){
r = mid;
}else{
l = mid + 1;
}
}
return letters[l] > target ? letters[l] : letters[l+1];
}
};
