A zero-indexed array A of length N contains all integers from 0 to N-1. Find and return the longest length of set S, where S[i] = {A[i], A[A[i]], A[A[A[i]]], ... } subjected to the rule below.
Suppose the first element in S starts with the selection of element A[i] of index = i, the next element in S should be A[A[i]], and then A[A[A[i]]]… By that analogy, we stop adding right before a duplicate element occurs in S.
Example 1:
Input: A = [5,4,0,3,1,6,2]
Output: 4
Explanation:
A[0] = 5, A[1] = 4, A[2] = 0, A[3] = 3, A[4] = 1, A[5] = 6, A[6] = 2.
One of the longest S[K]:
S[0] = {A[0], A[5], A[6], A[2]} = {5, 6, 2, 0}来源:力扣(LeetCode) 链接:https://leetcode-cn.com/problems/array-nesting 著作权归领扣网络所有。商业转载请联系官方授权,非商业转载请注明出处。
设置一个visited数组,用来记录当前访问过的数组索引,当索引位置已经访问过,代表结果已经计算过不需要重复计算。
这里题意给出的数组中元素的值不会超过数组元素,可以开一个数组长度大小的visited
从每个位置开始循环往后找,并且记录一个长度,就行了。
这里还可以剪枝,我们可以记录当前数组中已经遍历多少个,如果发现 nums.length-cnt < ret也就是说剩下的全部连在一起都不会超过当前已经知道的最大的 。
class Solution {
public int arrayNesting(int[] nums) {
int ret = 0, cnt = 0;
int[] visited = new int[nums.length];
for (int i = 0; i<nums.length&&(nums.length-cnt)>ret; i++) {
int len = 0;
int c = i;
while (visited[c] == 0) {
len++;
visited[c] = 1;
cnt++;
c = nums[c];
}
ret = Math.max(ret, len);
}
return ret;
}
}
