Description

Given an array of citations sorted in ascending order (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher’s h-index.

According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: “A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each.”

Example:

Input: citations = [0,1,3,5,6]
Output: 3
Explanation: [0,1,3,5,6] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had
received 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 citations respectively.
Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining
two with no more than 3 citations each, her h-index is 3.

Note:

If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.

Follow up:

  • This is a follow up problem to H-Index, where citations is now guaranteed to be sorted in ascending order.
  • Could you solve it in logarithmic time complexity?

分析

题目的意思是:给定一个排序的数组,计算其h-index。

  • 我们最先初始化left和right为0和数组长度len-1,然后取中间值mid,比较citations[mid]和len-mid做比较,
    如果前者大,则right移到mid之前,反之right移到mid之后,终止条件是left>right,最后返回len-left即可.

代码

class Solution {
public:
int hIndex(vector<int>& citations) {
int n=citations.size();
int i=0;
int j=n-1;
while(i<=j){
int mid=(i+j)/2;
if(citations[mid]==n-mid){
return n-mid;
}else if(citations[mid]>n-mid){
j=mid-1;
}else{
i=mid+1;
}
}
return n-i;
}
};
