Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie. Each child i has a greed factor gi, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size sj. If sj >= gi, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.
Note:
You may assume the greed factor is always positive.
You cannot assign more than one cookie to one child.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3], [1,1] Output: 1 Explanation: You have 3 children and 2 cookies. The greed factors of 3 children are 1, 2, 3. And even though you have 2 cookies, since their size is both 1, you could only make the child whose greed factor is 1 content. You need to output 1.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2], [1,2,3] Output: 2 Explanation: You have 2 children and 3 cookies. The greed factors of 2 children are 1, 2. You have 3 cookies and their sizes are big enough to gratify all of the children, You need to output 2.
思路:通过贪心算法(Greedy Algorithm),优先满足比较容易满足的孩子,并且尽可能的分发饼干;
1.首先对g、s进行排序;
2.令指针i、j分别指向g、s的末尾;
3.若g[i]<=s[j],则计数器cnt加1,j减1,将j号cookie分给i号孩子,并指向下一个更小的cookie,i减1,指向下一个greedy factor更小的孩子;
class Solution(): def findContentChildren(self, g, s): """ :type g: List[int] :type s: List[int] :rtype: int """ cnt = 0 i, j = len(g) - 1, len(s) - 1 g, s = sorted(g), sorted(s) while min(i, j) >= 0: if g[i] <= s[j]: cnt += 1 j -= 1 i -= 1 return cnt
