744. Find Smallest Letter Greater Than Target 查找比目标字母大的最小字母

[抄题]:

Given a list of sorted characters letters containing only lowercase letters, and given a target letter target, find the smallest element in the list that is larger than the given target.

Letters also wrap around. For example, if the target is target = 'z' and letters = ['a', 'b'], the answer is 'a'.

Examples:

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "a"
Output: "c" Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "c"
Output: "f" Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "d"
Output: "f" Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "g"
Output: "j" Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "j"
Output: "c" Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
Output: "c"

[奇葩corner case]:

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
Output: "c"
结果是最后一位,但是需要返回第一位 结果%n (看余数 不止看倍数)

[思维问题]:

“第一个最大”居然没看出来是二分查找问题。字母换成index数字后继续操作啊

[一句话思路]:

[输入量]:空: 正常情况:特大:特小:程序里处理到的特殊情况:异常情况(不合法不合理的输入):

[复杂度]:Time complexity: O(lgn) Space complexity: O(1)

[英文数据结构或算法,为什么不用别的数据结构或算法]:

[关键模板化代码]:

九章的不行就用这一套:

while (lo < hi)

lo = mid + 1
//Terminal condition is 'lo < hi', to avoid infinite loop when target is smaller than the first element
while (lo < hi) {
int mid = lo + (hi - lo) / 2;
if (a[mid] > x) hi = mid;
else lo = mid + 1; //a[mid] <= x
}

[LC给出的题目变变变]:

[代码风格] :

class Solution {
public char nextGreatestLetter(char[] letters, char target) {
//ini
int n = letters.length;
int start = 0, end = n; //bs
while (start < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (target < letters[mid]) {
end = mid;
}else {
start = mid + 1;
}
} //return
return letters[start % n];
}
}
