Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white and blue.
Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.
Note:
You are not suppose to use the library's sort function for this problem.
Follow up:
A rather straight forward solution is a two-pass algorithm using counting sort.
First, iterate the array counting number of 0's, 1's, and 2's, then overwrite array with total number of 0's, then 1's and followed by 2's.
Could you come up with an one-pass algorithm using only constant space?
» Solve this problem

使用enhanced quicksort. 用两个mark变量标记0和2所在的位置。先左边,和右边把0和2找尽。之后用一个P变量一个一个找,遇到1不动,遇到0或2交换。

中间有一个特别重要的细节要注意,因为交换完了之后容易导致一些0或2漏掉,这个时候要加条件判断。

  1. 直接用quicksort 3 way partition,然后指定1为pivot,遍历一次.

Leetcode 316. Remove Duplicate Letters

 这道题表面问的是如何删除重复,实际在问如何从多个字符选取一个保留,从而让整个字符串按升序排列。那么策略就是对于高顺位的字符比如‘a',就要选靠前位置的保留,而低顺位字符如’z'则应该尽量选取靠后位置保留。 算法大概思路:每看到一个字符,我们要决定是否保留 1. ...
