Candy

描述

There are N children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value.

You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:

  • Each child must have at least one candy.
  • Children with a higher rating get more candies than their neighbors.

What is the minimum candies you must give?

// Candy

public class Solution {
public int candy(int[] ratings) {
final int n = ratings.length;
final int[] increment = new int[n];

// 左右各扫描一遍
for (int i = 1, inc = 1; i < n; i++) {
if (ratings[i] > ratings[i - 1])
increment[i] = Math.max(inc++, increment[i]);
else
inc = 1;
}

for (int i = n - 2, inc = 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (ratings[i] > ratings[i + 1])
increment[i] = Math.max(inc++, increment[i]);
else
inc = 1;
}
// 初始值为n,因为每个小朋友至少一颗糖
int sum = n;
for (int i : increment) sum += i;
return sum;
