Counting Bits

题目描述

Given a non negative integer number num. For every numbers i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ num calculate the number of 1’s in their binary representation and return them as an array.

Example:

For num = 5 you should return [0,1,1,2,1,2].

Follow up:

  • It is very easy to come up with a solution with run time O(n*sizeof(integer)). But can you do it in linear time O(n) /possibly in a single pass?
  • Space complexity should be O(n).
  • Can you do it like a boss? Do it without using any builtin function like __builtin_popcount in c++ or in any other language.

解法

代码如下:

public static int[] countBits(int num) {
    int[] res = new int[num+1];
    for( int i = 1; i <= num; ++i )
        res[i] = res[i/2] + ( i & 1 );
    return res;
}

思考过程: 动态规划

一个元素的二进制表示左移一位, 会得到一个更大的值, 而且二进制表示1的个数是相等的.

也就是说, 一个比较大的值二进制表示1的个数可以由较小的值的二进制表示1的个数来计算.

这条规则也就满足最优子结构性质, 所以这道题用动态规划来解决.

当前值二进制表示1的个数, 等于当前值右移一位得到的值的二进制表示1的个数, 加上最低位1的个数.

时空复杂度: 时间复杂度是O(n), 空间复杂度是O(n)
