LeetCode – First Missing Positive

时间:2024-01-07 21:21:32
Given an unsorted integer array, find the smallest missing positive integer.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,0]
Output: 3
Example 2: Input: [3,4,-1,1]
Output: 2
Example 3: Input: [7,8,9,11,12]
Output: 1
Note: Your algorithm should run in O(n) time and uses constant extra space.

虽然不能再另外开辟非常数级的额外空间,但是可以在输入数组上就地进行swap操作。

思路:交换数组元素,使得数组中第i位存放数值(i+1)。最后遍历数组,寻找第一个不符合此要求的元素,返回其下标。整个过程需要遍历两次数组,复杂度为O(n)

下图以题目中给出的第二个例子为例,讲解操作过程。

LeetCode – First Missing Positive

class Solution {
public int firstMissingPositive(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length == 0){
return 1;
} for (int i=0; i<nums.length; i++){
if(nums[i] <= nums.length && nums[i] > 0 && nums[i] != nums[nums[i]-1]){
int temp = nums[nums[i]-1];
nums[nums[i]-1] = nums[i];
nums[i] = temp;
i--;
}
}
for(int i=0; i<nums.length; i++){
if(nums[i] != i+1){
return i+1;
}
}
return nums.length+1;
}
}
