PAT-A1038 Recover the Smallest Number 题目内容及题解
Given a collection of number segments, you are supposed to recover the smallest number from them. For example, given { 32, 321, 3214, 0229, 87 }, we can recover many numbers such like 32-321-3214-0229-87 or 0229-32-87-321-3214 with respect to different orders of combinations of these segments, and the smallest number is 0229-321-3214-32-87.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. Each case gives a positive integer N (≤10^4) followed by N number segments. Each segment contains a non-negative integer of no more than 8 digits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space.
Output Specification:
For each test case, print the smallest number in one line. Notice that the first digit must not be zero.
Sample Input:
5 32 321 3214 0229 87
Sample Output:
22932132143287
题目大意
题目给出一组数据片段,求其可以组成的最小的数字并输出。
解题思路
- 读入所有数据片段,并排序,排序依据为使a+b<b-a(贪心法);
- 将排好序的数据片段连接起来,并去除首位0,直到其首位非零或为空;
- 如结果非空输出结果,否则输出“0”(边界条件)。
- 返回零值。
代码
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<string>
#define maxn 10010
using namespace std;
bool cmp(string a,string b){
return a+b<b+a;
}
int main(){
int i,N;
string a[maxn],sum;
cin>>N;
sum.clear();
for(i=0;i<N;i++){
cin>>a[i];
}
sort(a,a+N,cmp);
for(i=0;i<N;i++){
sum+=a[i];
}
while(sum.size()!=0&&sum[0]=='0'){
sum.erase(sum.begin());
}
if(sum.size()==0){
cout<<"0"<<endl;
}else{
cout<<sum<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
运行结果
