Given an unsorted array return whether an increasing subsequence of length 3 exists or not in the array.
Formally the function should:
Return true if there exists i, j, k
such that arr[i] < arr[j] < arr[k] given 0 ≤ i < j < k ≤ n-1 else return false.
Your algorithm should run in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.
Examples:
Given [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
,
return true
.
Given [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
,
return false
.

这道题让我们求一个无序数组中是否有任意三个数字是递增关系的,我最先相处的方法是用一个dp数组,dp[i]表示在i位置之前小于等于nums[i]的数字的个数(包括其本身),我们初始化dp数组都为1,然后我们开始遍历原数组,对当前数字nums[i],我们遍历其之前的所有数字,如果之前某个数字nums[j]小于nums[i],那么我们更新dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1),如果此时dp[i]到3了,则返回true,若遍历完成,则返回false,参见代码如下:
解法一:
// Dumped, brute force class Solution { public: bool increasingTriplet(vector<int>& nums) { vector<int> dp(nums.size(), 1); for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); ++i) { for (int j = 0; j < i; ++j) { if (nums[j] < nums[i]) { dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1); if (dp[i] >= 3) return true; } } } return false; } };
但是题目中要求我们O(n)的时间复杂度和O(1)的空间复杂度,上面的那种方法一条都没满足,所以白写了。我们下面来看满足题意的方法,这个思路是,我们遍历数组,维护一个最小值,和倒数第二小值,遍历原数组的时候,如果当前数字小于等于最小值,更新最小值,如果小于等于倒数第二小值,更新倒数第二小值,如果当前数字比最小值和倒数第二小值都大,说明此时有三个递增的子序列了,直接返回ture,否则遍历结束返回false,参见代码如下:
解法二:
class Solution { public: bool increasingTriplet(vector<int>& nums) { int m1 = INT_MAX, m2 = INT_MAX; for (auto a : nums) { if (m1 >= a) m1 = a; else if (m2 >= a) m2 = a; else return true; } return false; } };
