题目:
Follow up for "Remove Duplicates":
What if duplicates are allowed at most twice?
For example,
Given sorted array A = [1,1,1,2,2,3]
,
Your function should return length = 5
, and A is now [1,1,2,2,3]
.
题解:
之前是不允许有重复的。
现在是可以最多允许2个一样的元素。
然后删除duplicate,返回长度。
删除duplicate的方法就是指针的操作。具体方法见代码。
代码如下:
1 public int removeDuplicates(int[] A) {
2 if (A.length <= 2)
3 return A.length;
4
5 int prev = 1; // point to previous
6 int curr = 2; // point to current
7
8 while (curr < A.length) {
9 if (A[curr] == A[prev] && A[curr] == A[prev - 1]) {
curr++;
} else {
prev++;
A[prev] = A[curr];
curr++;
}
}
return prev + 1;
}
