LeetCode.441 Arranging Coins (經典數列求和應用)
阿新 • • 發佈:2019-02-07
題目:
You have a total of n coins that you want to form in a staircase shape, where every k-th row must have exactly k coins.
Given n, find the total number of full staircase rows that can be formed.
n is a non-negative integer and fits within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
Example 1:
n = 5 The coins can form the following rows: ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ Because the 3rd row is incomplete, we return 2.
Example 2:
n = 8 The coins can form the following rows: ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ Because the 4th row is incomplete, we return 3.
分析:
class Solution { public int arrangeCoins(int n) { //給定總的磚數,具體第k臺階滿足用k塊磚,求具體滿足了多少層臺階 //思路:類似數列求和,求滿足k-1滿足小於n,k滿足n的數 //暴力解法:TLM // if(n==0) return 0; // for(int i=1;i<=Math.sqrt(n);i++){ // if(((1+i)*i/2<=n)&&((i+1+1)*(i+1)/2>n)){ // return i; // } // } // return 0; //巧妙解法 // `(x * ( x + 1)) / 2 <= n` // Using quadratic formula, `x` is evaluated to be, //利用二元一次方程求解 x=(-b+_sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a // `x = 1 / 2 * (-sqrt(8 * n + 1)-1)` (Inapplicable) or `x = 1 / 2 * (sqrt(8 * n + 1)-1)` // Negative root is ignored and positive root is used instead. Note that 8.0 * n is very important because it will cause Java to implicitly autoboxed the intermediate result into double data type. The code will not work if it is simply 8 * n. return (int)((Math.sqrt(1+8.0*n)-1)/2); } }
