LeetCode 436. Find Right Interval
Given a set of intervals, for each of the interval i, check if there exists an interval j whose start point is bigger than or equal to the end point of the interval i, which can be called that j is on the "right" of i.
For any interval i, you need to store the minimum interval j's index, which means that the interval j has the minimum start point to build the "right" relationship for interval i. If the interval j doesn't exist, store -1 for the interval i. Finally, you need output the stored value of each interval as an array.
Note:
- You may assume the interval's end point is always bigger than its start point.
- You may assume none of these intervals have the same start point.
Example 1:
Input: [ [1,2] ] Output: [-1] Explanation: There is only one interval in the collection, so it outputs -1.
Example 2:
Input: [ [3,4], [2,3], [1,2] ] Output: [-1, 0, 1] Explanation: There is no satisfied "right" interval for [3,4]. For [2,3], the interval [3,4] has minimum-"right" start point; For [1,2], the interval [2,3] has minimum-"right" start point.
Example 3:
Input: [ [1,4], [2,3], [3,4] ] Output: [-1, 2, -1] Explanation: There is no satisfied "right" interval for [1,4] and [3,4]. For [2,3], the interval [3,4] has minimum-"right" start point.
题目大意:
给一组区间,对于每一个区间i,检查是否存在区间j,满足j的起点大于等于i的终点,我们称j在i的“右边"。
对于任意区间i,你需要存储j的最小下标,这意味着区间j拥有最小的起点并且位于i的“右边”。如果j不存在,则存储为-1。将最终结果以数组形式返回。
注意:
- 你可以假设区间的终点总是比起点大
- 你可以假设任意区间的起点都不相同
解题思路:
排序(Sort)+ 二分查找(Binary Search)
按照区间起点排序,然后二分查找即可。
Python代码:
# Definition for an interval.
# class Interval(object):
# def __init__(self, s=0, e=0):
# self.start = s
# self.end = e
class Solution(object):
def findRightInterval(self, intervals):
"""
:type intervals: List[Interval]
:rtype: List[int]
"""
invs = sorted((x.start, i) for i, x in enumerate(intervals))
ans = []
for x in intervals:
idx = bisect.bisect_right( invs, (x.end,) )
ans.append(invs[idx][1] if idx < len(intervals) else -1)
return ans
