题目:
Given a sequence of n integers a1, a2, ..., an, a 132 pattern is a subsequence ai, aj, ak such that i < j < k and ai < ak < aj. Design an algorithm that takes a list of n numbers as input and checks whether there is a 132 pattern in the list.
Note: n will be less than 15,000.
Example 1:
Input: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Output: False
Explanation: There is no 132 pattern in the sequence.
Example 2:
Input: [3, 1, 4, 2]
Output: True
Explanation: There is a 132 pattern in the sequence: [1, 4, 2].
Example 3:
Input: [-1, 3, 2, 0]
Output: True
Explanation: There are three 132 patterns in the sequence: [-1, 3, 2], [-1, 3, 0] and [-1, 2, 0].
思路:
该题利用到了栈这一数据结构。该题求解的是132 Pattern。栈中存储当前最大的数。同时设置一个值third。用于存储132中3位置的数。将给定的数组从后往前遍历,一旦当前数据大于栈中的数据就弹出栈。third存储弹出数据中最大的值。一旦当前遍历到的数据小于third则返回true。此时third记录着3位置的数据,栈中记录着2位置的数据,遍历到的数据为1位置上的数据。
代码:
public boolean find132pattern(int[] nums) {
if(nums == null || nums.length == 0)
return false;
boolean result = false;
int third = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
Stack<Integer>stack = new Stack<Integer>();
for(int i=nums.length-1;i>=0;i--){
if(nums[i] < third)
return true;
while(!stack.isEmpty() && nums[i] > stack.peek()){
third = Math.max(third, stack.pop());
}
stack.push(nums[i]);
}
return result;
}
