Suppose you have a random list of people standing in a queue. Each person is described by a pair of integers (h, k)
, where h
is the height of the person and k
is the number of people in front of this person who have a height greater than or equal to h
. Write an algorithm to reconstruct the queue.
Note:
The number of people is less than 1,100.
Example
Input: [[7,0], [4,4], [7,1], [5,0], [6,1], [5,2]] Output: [[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]]
Approach #1: C++.
class Solution { public: vector<pair<int, int>> reconstructQueue(vector<pair<int, int>>& people) { int size = people.size(); vector<pair<int, int>> ans(size, {-1, -1}); sort(people.begin(), people.end()); for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) { int h = people[i].first; int k = people[i].second; int temp = -1; for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j) { if (ans[j].first == -1 || h == ans[j].first) temp++; if (temp == k) { ans[j] = make_pair(h, k); break; } } } return ans; } };
