373. Find K Pairs with Smallest Sums
You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2 sorted in ascending order and an integer k.
Define a pair (u,v) which consists of one element from the first array and one element from the second array.
Find the k pairs (u1,v1),(u2,v2) ...(uk,vk) with the smallest sums.
Example 1:
Given nums1 = [1,7,11], nums2 = [2,4,6], k = 3
Return: [1,2],[1,4],[1,6]
The first 3 pairs are returned from the sequence:
[1,2],[1,4],[1,6],[7,2],[7,4],[11,2],[7,6],[11,4],[11,6]
Example 2:
Given nums1 = [1,1,2], nums2 = [1,2,3], k = 2
Return: [1,1],[1,1]
The first 2 pairs are returned from the sequence:
[1,1],[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[1,2],[2,2],[1,3],[1,3],[2,3]
Example 3:
Given nums1 = [1,2], nums2 = [3], k = 3
Return: [1,3],[2,3]
All possible pairs are returned from the sequence:
[1,3],[2,3]
Solution samiliar to Meeting Room II, using priority queue to save next result.
public class Solution {
public List<int[]> kSmallestPairs(int[] nums1, int[] nums2, int k) {
List<int[]> res = new ArrayList<>();
if(nums1 == null || nums1.length == 0 ||
nums2 == null || nums2.length == 0) return res;
class Pair{
int x;
int y;
Pair(int x, int y){
this.x = x;
this.y =y;
}
}
Comparator<Pair> comp = new Comparator<Pair>(){
@Override
public int compare(Pair p1, Pair p2){
return nums1[p1.x] + nums2[p1.y]
- nums1[p2.x] - nums2[p2.y];
}
};
PriorityQueue<Pair> queue = new PriorityQueue<Pair>(k, comp);
boolean[][] visited = new boolean[nums1.length][nums2.length];
queue.offer(new Pair(0, 0));
visited[0][0] = true;
int[][] close = new int[][]{{0,1},{1,0}};
while(k > 0 && !queue.isEmpty()){
k--;
Pair p = queue.poll();
res.add(new int[]{nums1[p.x], nums2[p.y]});
for(int i=0; i< 2;i++){
int tx = p.x + close[i][0];
int ty = p.y + close[i][1];
if(tx < nums1.length && ty <nums2.length && !visited[tx][ty]){
queue.offer(new Pair(tx, ty));
visited[tx][ty] = true;
}
}
}
return res;
}
}
