无私分享造就开源的辉煌。
今是二零一一年十月十三日,明日14日即是本人刚好开博一周年。在一周年之际,特此分享出微软面试全部100题答案的完整版,以作为对本博客所有读者的回馈。
一年之前的10月14日,一个名叫July (头像为手冢国光)的人在一个叫csdn的论坛上开帖分享微软等公司数据结构+算法面试100题,自此,与上千网友一起做,一起思考,一起解答这些面试题目,最终成就了一个名为:结构之法算法之道的编程面试与算法研究并重的博客,如今,此博客影响力逐步渗透到海外,及至到整个互联网。
在此之前,由于本人笨拙,这微软面试100题的答案只整理到了前60题(第1-60题答案可到本人资源下载处下载:http://v_july_v.download.csdn.net/),故此,常有朋友留言或来信询问后面40题的答案。只是因个人认为:一、答案只是作为一个参考,不可太过依赖;二、常常因一些事情耽搁(如在整理最新的今年九月、十月份的面试题:九月腾讯,创新工场,淘宝等公司最新面试十三题、十月百度,阿里巴巴,迅雷搜狗最新面试十一题);三、个人正在针对那100题一题一题的写文章,多种思路,不断优化,即成程序员编程艺术系列(详情,参见文末)。自此,后面40题的答案迟迟未得整理。且个人已经整理的前60题的答案,在我看来,是有诸多问题与弊端的,甚至很多答案都是错误的。
(微软10题永久讨论地址:http://topic.csdn.net/u/20101126/10/b4f12a00-6280-492f-b785-cb6835a63dc9_9.html)
互联网总是能给人带来惊喜。前几日,一位现居美国加州的名叫阿财的朋友发来一封邮件,并把他自己做的全部100题的答案一并发予给我,自此,便似遇见了知己。十分感谢。
任何东西只有分享出来才更显其价值。本只需贴出后面40题的答案,因为前60题的答案本人早已整理上传至网上,但多一种思路多一种参考亦未尝不可。特此,把阿财的答案再稍加整理番,然后把全部100题的答案现今都贴出来。若有任何问题,欢迎不吝指正。谢谢。
上千上万的人都关注过此100题,且大都都各自贡献了自己的思路,或回复于微软100题维护地址上,或回复于本博客内,人数众多,无法一一标明,特此向他们诸位表示敬意和感谢。谢谢大家,诸君的努力足以影响整个互联网,咱们已经迎来一个分享互利的新时代。
更新:有朋友反应,以下的答案中思路过于简略,还是这句话,一切以程序员编程艺术系列(多种思路,多种比较,细细读之自晓其理)为准(我没怎么看阿财的这些答案,因为编程艺术系列已经说得足够清晰了。之所以把阿财的这份答案分享出来,一者,编程艺术系列目前还只写到了第二十二章,即100题之中还只详细阐述了近30道题;二者,他给的答案全部是用英文写的,这恰好方便国外的一些朋友参考;三者是为了给那一些急功近利的、浮躁的人一份速成的答案罢了)。July、二零一一年十月二十四日更新。
当然,读者朋友有任何问题,你也可以跟阿财联系,他的邮箱地址是:kevinn9#gmail.com (把#改成@)。
1.把二元查找树转变成排序的双向链表
题目:
输入一棵二元查找树,将该二元查找树转换成一个排序的双向链表。
要求不能创建任何新的结点,只调整指针的指向。
10
/ \
6 14
/ \ / \
4 8 12 16
转换成双向链表
4=6=8=10=12=14=16。
首先我们定义的二元查找树节点的数据结构如下:
- struct BSTreeNode
- {
- int m_nValue; // value of node
- BSTreeNode *m_pLeft; // left child of node
- BSTreeNode *m_pRight; // right child of node
- };
ANSWER:
- /**
- * @param root The root node of the tree
- * @return The head node of the converted list.
- */
- BSTreeNode * treeToLinkedList(BSTreeNode * root) {
- BSTreeNode * head, * tail;
- helper(head, tail, root);
- return head;
- }
- void helper(BSTreeNode *& head, BSTreeNode *& tail, BSTreeNode *root) {
- BSTreeNode *lt, *rh;
- if (root == NULL) {
- head = NULL, tail = NULL;
- return;
- }
- helper(head, lt, root->m_pLeft);
- helper(rh, tail, root->m_pRight);
- if (lt!=NULL) {
- lt->m_pRight = root;
- root->m_pLeft = lt;
- } else {
- head = root;
- }
- if (rh!=NULL) {
- root->m_pRight=rh;
- rh->m_pLeft = root;
- } else {
- tail = root;
- }
- }
2.设计包含min 函数的栈。
定义栈的数据结构,要求添加一个min 函数,能够得到栈的最小元素。
要求函数min、push 以及pop 的时间复杂度都是O(1)。
ANSWER:
Stack is a LIFO data structure. When some element is popped from the stack, the status will recover to the original status as before that element was pushed. So we can recover the minimum element, too.
- struct MinStackElement {
- int data;
- int min;
- };
- struct MinStack {
- MinStackElement * data;
- int size;
- int top;
- }
- MinStack MinStackInit(int maxSize) {
- MinStack stack;
- stack.size = maxSize;
- stack.data = (MinStackElement*) malloc(sizeof(MinStackElement)*maxSize);
- stack.top = 0;
- return stack;
- }
- void MinStackFree(MinStack stack) {
- free(stack.data);
- }
- void MinStackPush(MinStack stack, int d) {
- if (stack.top == stack.size) error(“out of stack space.”);
- MinStackElement* p = stack.data[stack.top];
- p->data = d;
- p->min = (stack.top==0?d : stack.data[top-1]);
- if (p->min > d) p->min = d;
- top ++;
- }
- int MinStackPop(MinStack stack) {
- if (stack.top == 0) error(“stack is empty!”);
- return stack.data[--stack.top].data;
- }
- int MinStackMin(MinStack stack) {
- if (stack.top == 0) error(“stack is empty!”);
- return stack.data[stack.top-1].min;
- }
3.求子数组的最大和
题目:
输入一个整形数组,数组里有正数也有负数。
数组中连续的一个或多个整数组成一个子数组,每个子数组都有一个和。
求所有子数组的和的最大值。要求时间复杂度为O(n)。
例如输入的数组为1, -2, 3, 10, -4, 7, 2, -5,和最大的子数组为3, 10, -4, 7, 2,
因此输出为该子数组的和18。
ANSWER:
A traditional greedy approach.
Keep current sum, slide from left to right, when sum < 0, reset sum to 0.
- int maxSubarray(int a[], int size) {
- if (size<=0) error(“error array size”);
- int sum = 0;
- int max = - (1 << 31);
- int cur = 0;
- while (cur < size) {
- sum += a[cur++];
- if (sum > max) {
- max = sum;
- } else if (sum < 0) {
- sum = 0;
- }
- }
- return max;
- }
4.在二元树中找出和为某一值的所有路径
题目:输入一个整数和一棵二元树。
从树的根结点开始往下访问一直到叶结点所经过的所有结点形成一条路径。
打印出和与输入整数相等的所有路径。
例如输入整数22 和如下二元树
10
/ \
5 12
/ \
4 7
则打印出两条路径:10, 12 和10, 5, 7。
二元树节点的数据结构定义为:
- struct BinaryTreeNode // a node in the binary tree
- {
- int m_nValue; // value of node
- BinaryTreeNode *m_pLeft; // left child of node
- BinaryTreeNode *m_pRight; // right child of node
- };
- ANSWER:
- Use backtracking and recurison. We need a stack to help backtracking the path.
- struct TreeNode {
- int data;
- TreeNode * left;
- TreeNode * right;
- };
- void printPaths(TreeNode * root, int sum) {
- int path[MAX_HEIGHT];
- helper(root, sum, path, 0);
- }
- void helper(TreeNode * root, int sum, int path[], int top) {
- path[top++] = root.data;
- sum -= root.data;
- if (root->left == NULL && root->right==NULL) {
- if (sum == 0) printPath(path, top);
- } else {
- if (root->left != NULL) helper(root->left, sum, path, top);
- if (root->right!=NULL) helper(root->right, sum, path, top);
- }
- top --;
- sum += root.data; //....
- }
5.查找最小的k 个元素
题目:输入n 个整数,输出其中最小的k 个。
例如输入1,2,3,4,5,6,7 和8 这8 个数字,则最小的4 个数字为1,2,3 和4。
ANSWER:
This is a very traditional question...
O(nlogn): cat I_FILE | sort -n | head -n K
O(kn): do insertion sort until k elements are retrieved.
O(n+klogn): Take O(n) time to bottom-up build a min-heap. Then sift-down k-1 times.
So traditional that I don’t want to write the codes...
Only gives the siftup and siftdown function.
- /**
- *@param i the index of the element in heap a[0...n-1] to be sifted up
- void siftup(int a[], int i, int n) {
- while (i>0) {
- int j=(i&1==0 ? i-1 : i+1);
- int p=(i-1)>>1;
- if (j<n && a[j]<a[i]) i = j;
- if (a[i] < a[p]) swap(a, i, p);
- i = p;
- }
- }
- void siftdown(int a[], int i, int n) {
- while (2*i+1<n){
- int l=2*i+1;
- if (l+1<n && a[l+1] < a[l]) l++;
- if (a[l] < a[i]) swap(a, i, l);
- i=l;
- }
- }
第6 题

以此类推..
ANSWER:
I don’t like brain teasers. Will skip most of them...
第7 题
微软亚院之编程判断俩个链表是否相交
给出俩个单向链表的头指针,比如h1,h2,判断这俩个链表是否相交。
为了简化问题,我们假设俩个链表均不带环。
问题扩展:
1.如果链表可能有环列?
2.如果需要求出俩个链表相交的第一个节点列?
ANSWER:
- struct Node {
- int data;
- int Node *next;
- };
- // if there is no cycle.
- int isJoinedSimple(Node * h1, Node * h2) {
- while (h1->next != NULL) {
- h1 = h1->next;
- }
- while (h2->next != NULL) {
- h2 = h2-> next;
- }
- return h1 == h2;
- }
- // if there could exist cycle
- int isJoined(Node *h1, Node * h2) {
- Node* cylic1 = testCylic(h1);
- Node* cylic2 = testCylic(h2);
- if (cylic1+cylic2==0) return isJoinedSimple(h1, h2);
- if (cylic1==0 && cylic2!=0 || cylic1!=0 &&cylic2==0) return 0;
- Node *p = cylic1;
- while (1) {
- if (p==cylic2 || p->next == cylic2) return 1;
- p=p->next->next;
- cylic1 = cylic1->next;
- if (p==cylic1) return 0;
- }
- }
- Node* testCylic(Node * h1) {
- Node * p1 = h1, *p2 = h1;
- while (p2!=NULL && p2->next!=NULL) {
- p1 = p1->next;
- p2 = p2->next->next;
- if (p1 == p2) {
- return p1;
- }
- }
- return NULL;
- }
第8 题
此贴选一些比较怪的题,,由于其中题目本身与算法关系不大,仅考考思维。特此并作一题。
1.有两个房间,一间房里有三盏灯,另一间房有控制着三盏灯的三个开关,
这两个房间是分割开的,从一间里不能看到另一间的情况。
现在要求受训者分别进这两房间一次,然后判断出这三盏灯分别是由哪个开关控制的。
有什么办法呢?
ANSWER:
Skip.
2.你让一些人为你工作了七天,你要用一根金条作为报酬。金条被分成七小块,每天给出一
块。
如果你只能将金条切割两次,你怎样分给这些工人?
ANSWER:
1+2+4;
3. ★用一种算法来颠倒一个链接表的顺序。现在在不用递归式的情况下做一遍。
ANSWER:
Node * reverse(Node * head) {
if (head == NULL) return head;
if (head->next == NULL) return head;
Node * ph = reverse(head->next);
head->next->next = head;
head->next = NULL;
return ph;
}
Node * reverseNonrecurisve(Node * head) {
if (head == NULL) return head;
Node * p = head;
Node * previous = NULL;
while (p->next != NULL) {
p->next = previous;
previous = p;
p = p->next;
}
p->next = previous;
return p;
}
★用一种算法在一个循环的链接表里插入一个节点,但不得穿越链接表。
ANSWER:
I don’t understand what is “Chuanyue”.
★用一种算法整理一个数组。你为什么选择这种方法?
ANSWER:
What is “Zhengli?”
★用一种算法使通用字符串相匹配。
ANSWER:
What is “Tongyongzifuchuan”... a string with “*” and “?”? If so, here is the code.
int match(char * str, char * ptn) {
if (*ptn == ‘\0’) return 1;
if (*ptn == ‘*’) {
do {
if (match(str++, ptn+1)) return 1;
} while (*str != ‘\0’);
return 0;
}
if (*str == ‘\0’) return 0;
if (*str == *ptn || *ptn == ‘?’) {
return match(str+1, ptn+1);
}
return 0;
}
★颠倒一个字符串。优化速度。优化空间。
void reverse(char *str) {
reverseFixlen(str, strlen(str));
}
void reverseFixlen(char *str, int n) {
char* p = str+n-1;
while (str < p) {
char c = *str;
*str = *p; *p=c;
}
}
★颠倒一个句子中的词的顺序,比如将“我叫克丽丝”转换为“克丽丝叫我”,
实现速度最快,移动最少。
ANSWER:
Reverse the whole string, then reverse each word. Using the reverseFixlen() above.
void reverseWordsInSentence(char * sen) {
int len = strlen(sen);
reverseFixlen(sen, len);
char * p = str;
while (*p!=’\0’) {
while (*p == ‘ ‘ && *p!=’\0’) p++;
str = p;
while (p!= ‘ ‘ && *p!=’\0’) p++;
reverseFixlen(str, p-str);
}
}
★找到一个子字符串。优化速度。优化空间。
ANSWER:
KMP? BM? Sunday? Using BM or sunday, if it’s ASCII string, then it’s easy to fast access the auxiliary array. Otherwise an hashmap or bst may be needed. Lets assume it’s an ASCII string.
int bm_strstr(char *str, char *sub) {
int len = strlen(sub);
int i;
int aux[256];
memset(aux, sizeof(int), 256, len+1);
for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
aux[sub[i]] = len - i;
}
int n = strlen(str);
i=len-1;
while (i<n) {
int j=i, k=len-1;
while (k>=0 && str[j--] == sub[k--])
;
if (k<0) return j+1;
if (i+1<n)
i+=aux[str[i+1]];
else
return -1;
}
}
However, this algorithm, as well as BM, KMP algorithms use O(|sub|) space. If this is not acceptable, Rabin-carp algorithm can do it. Using hashing to fast filter out most false matchings.
#define HBASE 127
int rc_strstr(char * str, char * sub) {
int dest= 0;
char * p = sub;
int len = 0;
int TO_REDUCE = 1;
while (*p!=’\0’) {
dest = HBASE * dest + (int)(*p);
TO_REDUCE *= HBASE;
len ++;
}
int hash = 0;
p = str;
int i=0;
while (*p != ‘\0’) {
if (i++<len) hash = HBASE * dest + (int)(*p);
else hash = (hash - (TO_REDUCE * (int)(*(p-len))))*HBASE + (int)(*p);
if (hash == dest && i>=len && strncmp(sub, p-len+1, len) == 0) return i-len;
p++;
}
return -1;
}
★比较两个字符串,用O(n)时间和恒量空间。
ANSWER:
What is “comparing two strings”? Just normal string comparison? The natural way use O(n) time and O(1) space.
int strcmp(char * p1, char * p2) {
while (*p1 != ‘\0’ && *p2 != ‘\0’ && *p1 == *p2) {
p1++, p2++;
}
if (*p1 == ‘\0’ && *p2 == ‘\0’) return 0;
if (*p1 == ‘\0’) return -1;
if (*p2 == ‘\0’) return 1;
return (*p1 - *p2); // it can be negotiated whether the above 3 if’s are necessary, I don’t like to omit them.
}
★假设你有一个用1001 个整数组成的数组,这些整数是任意排列的,但是你知道所有的整数都在1 到1000(包括1000)之间。此外,除一个数字出现两次外,其他所有数字只出现一次。假设你只能对这个数组做一次处理,用一种算法找出重复的那个数字。如果你在运算中使用了辅助的存储方式,那么你能找到不用这种方式的算法吗?
ANSWER:
Sum up all the numbers, then subtract the sum from 1001*1002/2.
Another way, use A XOR A XOR B = B:
int findX(int a[]) {
int k = a[0];
for (int i=1; i<=1000;i++)
k ~= a[i]~i;
}
return k;
}
★不用乘法或加法增加8 倍。现在用同样的方法增加7 倍。
ANSWER:
n<<3;
(n<<3)-n;
第9 题
判断整数序列是不是二元查找树的后序遍历结果
题目:输入一个整数数组,判断该数组是不是某二元查找树的后序遍历的结果。
如果是返回true,否则返回false。
例如输入5、7、6、9、11、10、8,由于这一整数序列是如下树的后序遍历结果:
8
/ \
6 10
/ \ / \
5 7 9 11
因此返回true。
如果输入7、4、6、5,没有哪棵树的后序遍历的结果是这个序列,因此返回false。
ANSWER:
This is an interesting one. There is a traditional question that requires the binary tree to be re-constructed from mid/post/pre order results. This seems similar. For the problems related to (binary) trees, recursion is the first choice.
In this problem, we know in post-order results, the last number should be the root. So we have known the root of the BST is 8 in the example. So we can split the array by the root.
int isPostorderResult(int a[], int n) {
return helper(a, 0, n-1);
}
int helper(int a[], int s, int e) {
if (e==s) return 1;
int i=e-1;
while (a[e]>a[i] && i>=s) i--;
if (!helper(a, i+1, e-1))
return 0;
int k = l;
while (a[e]<a[i] && i>=s) i--;
return helper(a, s, l);
}
第10 题
翻转句子中单词的顺序。
题目:输入一个英文句子,翻转句子中单词的顺序,但单词内字符的顺序不变。
句子中单词以空格符隔开。为简单起见,标点符号和普通字母一样处理。
例如输入“I am a student.”,则输出“student. a am I”。
Answer:
Already done this. Skipped.
第11 题
求二叉树中节点的最大距离...
如果我们把二叉树看成一个图,父子节点之间的连线看成是双向的,
我们姑且定义"距离"为两节点之间边的个数。
写一个程序,
求一棵二叉树中相距最远的两个节点之间的距离。
ANSWER:
This is interesting... Also recursively, the longest distance between two nodes must be either from root to one leaf, or between two leafs. For the former case, it’s the tree height. For the latter case, it should be the sum of the heights of left and right subtrees of the two leaves’ most least ancestor.
The first case is also the sum the heights of subtrees, just the height + 0.
int maxDistance(Node * root) {
int depth;
return helper(root, depth);
}
int helper(Node * root, int &depth) {
if (root == NULL) {
depth = 0; return 0;
}
int ld, rd;
int maxleft = helper(root->left, ld);
int maxright = helper(root->right, rd);
depth = max(ld, rd)+1;
return max(maxleft, max(maxright, ld+rd));
}
第12 题
题目:求1+2+…+n,
要求不能使用乘除法、for、while、if、else、switch、case 等关键字以及条件判断语句
(A?B:C)。
ANSWER:
1+..+n=n*(n+1)/2=(n^2+n)/2
it is easy to get x/2, so the problem is to get n^2
though no if/else is allowed, we can easilly go around using short-pass.
using macro to make it fancier:
#define T(X, Y, i) (Y & (1<<i)) && X+=(Y<<i)
int foo(int n){
int r=n;
T(r, n, 0); T(r, n,1); T(r, n, 2); … T(r, n, 31);
return r >> 1;
}
第13 题:
题目:输入一个单向链表,输出该链表中倒数第k 个结点。链表的倒数第0 个结点为链表的尾指针。
链表结点定义如下:
struct ListNode
{
int m_nKey;
ListNode* m_pNext;
};
Answer:
Two ways. 1: record the length of the linked list, then go n-k steps. 2: use two cursors.
Time complexities are exactly the same.
Node * lastK(Node * head, int k) {
if (k<0) error(“k < 0”);
Node *p=head, *pk=head;
for (;k>0;k--) {
if (pk->next!=NULL) pk = pk->next;
else return NULL;
}
while (pk->next!=NULL) {
p=p->next, pk=pk->next;
}
return p;
}
第14 题:
题目:输入一个已经按升序排序过的数组和一个数字,
在数组中查找两个数,使得它们的和正好是输入的那个数字。
要求时间复杂度是O(n)。如果有多对数字的和等于输入的数字,输出任意一对即可。
例如输入数组1、2、4、7、11、15 和数字15。由于4+11=15,因此输出4 和11。
ANSWER:
Use two cursors. One at front and the other at the end. Keep track of the sum by moving the cursors.
void find2Number(int a[], int n, int dest) {
int *f = a, *e=a+n-1;
int sum = *f + *e;
while (sum != dest && f < e) {
if (sum < dest) sum = *(++f);
else sum = *(--e);
}
if (sum == dest) printf(“%d, %d\n”, *f, *e);
}
第15 题:
题目:输入一颗二元查找树,将该树转换为它的镜像,
即在转换后的二元查找树中,左子树的结点都大于右子树的结点。
用递归和循环两种方法完成树的镜像转换。
例如输入:
8
/ \
6 10
/\ /\
5 7 9 11
输出:
8
/ \
10 6
/\ /\
11 9 7 5
定义二元查找树的结点为:
struct BSTreeNode // a node in the binary search tree (BST)
{
int m_nValue; // value of node
BSTreeNode *m_pLeft; // left child of node
BSTreeNode *m_pRight; // right child of node
};
ANSWER:
This is the basic application of recursion.
PS: I don’t like the m_xx naming convension.
void swap(Node ** l, Node ** r) {
Node * p = *l;
*l = *r;
*r = p;
}
void mirror(Node * root) {
if (root == NULL) return;
swap(&(root->left), &(root->right));
mirror(root->left);
mirror(root->right);
}
void mirrorIteratively(Node * root) {
if (root == NULL) return;
stack<Node*> buf;
buf.push(root);
while (!stack.empty()) {
Node * n = stack.pop();
swap(&(root->left), &(root->right));
if (root->left != NULL) buf.push(root->left);
if (root->right != NULL) buf.push(root->right);
}
}
第16 题:
题目(微软):
输入一颗二元树,从上往下按层打印树的每个结点,同一层中按照从左往右的顺序打印。
例如输入
8
/ \
6 10
/ \ / \
5 7 9 11
输出8 6 10 5 7 9 11。
ANSWER:
The nodes in the levels are printed in the similar manner their parents were printed. So it should be an FIFO queue to hold the level. I really don’t remember the function name of the stl queue, so I will write it in Java...
void printByLevel(Node root) {
Node sentinel = new Node();
LinkedList<Node> q=new LinkedList<Node>();
q.addFirst(root); q.addFirst(sentinel);
while (!q.isEmpty()) {
Node n = q.removeLast();
if (n==sentinel) {
System.out.println(“\n”);
q.addFirst(sentinel);
} else {
System.out.println(n);
if (n.left() != null) q.addFirst(n.left());
if (n.right()!=null) q.addFirst(n.right());
}
}
}
第17 题:
题目:在一个字符串中找到第一个只出现一次的字符。如输入abaccdeff,则输出b。
分析:这道题是2006 年google 的一道笔试题。
ANSWER:
Again, this depends on what is “char”. Let’s assume it as ASCII.

第18 题:
题目:n 个数字(0,1,…,n-1)形成一个圆圈,从数字0 开始,
每次从这个圆圈中删除第m 个数字(第一个为当前数字本身,第二个为当前数字的下一个数
字)。
当一个数字删除后,从被删除数字的下一个继续删除第m 个数字。
求出在这个圆圈中剩下的最后一个数字。
July:我想,这个题目,不少人已经见识过了。
ANSWER:
Actually, although this is a so traditional problem, I was always to lazy to think about this or even to search for the answer.(What a shame...). Finally, by google I found the elegant solution for it.
The keys are:
1) if we shift the ids by k, namely, start from k instead of 0, we should add the result by k%n
2) after the first round, we start from k+1 ( possibly % n) with n-1 elements, that is equal to an (n-1) problem while start from (k+1)th element instead of 0, so the answer is (f(n-1, m)+k+1)%n
3) k = m-1, so f(n,m)=(f(n-1,m)+m)%n.
finally, f(1, m) = 0;
Now this is a O(n) solution.
int joseph(int n, int m) {
int fn=0;
for (int i=2; i<=n; i++) {
fn = (fn+m)%i; }
return fn;
}

ANSWER:
This is the traditional problem of application of mathematics...
let A=
{1 1}
{1 0}
f(n) = A^(n-1)[0,0]
this gives a O(log n) solution.
int f(int n) {
int A[4] = {1,1,1,0};
int result[4];
power(A, n, result);
return result[0];

功能:
在字符串中找出连续最长的数字串,并把这个串的长度返回,
并把这个最长数字串付给其中一个函数参数outputstr 所指内存。
例如:"abcd12345ed125ss123456789"的首地址传给intputstr 后,函数将返回9,
outputstr 所指的值为123456789

28.整数的二进制表示中1 的个数
题目:输入一个整数,求该整数的二进制表达中有多少个1。
例如输入10,由于其二进制表示为1010,有两个1,因此输出2。
分析:
这是一道很基本的考查位运算的面试题。
包括微软在内的很多公司都曾采用过这道题。
ANSWER
Traditional question. Use the equation xxxxxx10000 & (xxxxxx10000-1) = xxxxxx00000
Note: for negative numbers, this also hold, even with 100000000 where the “-1” leading to an underflow.
int countOf1(int n) {
int c=0;
while (n!=0) {
n=n & (n-1);
c++;
}
return c;
}
another solution is to lookup table. O(k), k is sizeof(int);
int countOf1(int n) {
int c = 0;
if (n<0) { c++; n = n & (1<<(sizeof(int)*8-1)); }
while (n!=0) {
c+=tab[n&0xff];
n >>= 8;
}
return c;
}
29.栈的push、pop 序列
题目:输入两个整数序列。其中一个序列表示栈的push 顺序,
判断另一个序列有没有可能是对应的pop 顺序。
为了简单起见,我们假设push 序列的任意两个整数都是不相等的。
比如输入的push 序列是1、2、3、4、5,那么4、5、3、2、1 就有可能是一个pop 系列。
因为可以有如下的push 和pop 序列:
push 1,push 2,push 3,push 4,pop,push 5,pop,pop,pop,pop,
这样得到的pop 序列就是4、5、3、2、1。
但序列4、3、5、1、2 就不可能是push 序列1、2、3、4、5 的pop 序列。
ANSWER
This seems interesting. However, a quite straightforward and promising way is to actually build the stack and check whether the pop action can be achieved.
int isPopSeries(int push[], int pop[], int n) {
stack<int> helper;
int i1=0, i2=0;
while (i2 < n) {
while (stack.empty() || stack.peek() != pop[i2]) {
if (i1<n)
stack.push(push[i1++]);
else
return 0;
while (!stack.empty() && stack.peek() == pop[i2]) {
stack.pop(); i2++;
}
}
}
return 1;
}
30.在从1 到n 的正数中1 出现的次数
题目:输入一个整数n,求从1 到n 这n 个整数的十进制表示中1 出现的次数。
例如输入12,从1 到12 这些整数中包含1 的数字有1,10,11 和12,1 一共出现了5 次。
分析:这是一道广为流传的google 面试题。
ANSWER
This is complicated... I hate it...
Suppose we have N=ABCDEFG.
if G<1, # of 1’s in the units digits is ABCDEF, else ABCDEF+1
if F<1, # of 1’s in the digit of tens is (ABCDE)*10, else if F==1: (ABCDE)*10+G+1, else (ABCDE+1)*10
if E<1, # of 1’s in 3rd digit is (ABCD)*100, else if E==1: (ABCD)*100+FG+1, else (ABCD+1)*100
… so on.
if A=1, # of 1 in this digit is BCDEFG+1, else it’s 1*1000000;
so to fast access the digits and helper numbers, we need to build the fast access table of prefixes and suffixes.
int countOf1s(int n) {
int prefix[10], suffix[10], digits[10]; //10 is enough for 32bit integers
int i=0;
int base = 1;
while (base < n) {
suffix[i] = n % base;
digit[i] = (n % (base * 10)) - suffix[i];
prefix[i] = (n - suffix[i] - digit[i]*base)/10;
i++, base*=10;
}
int count = 0;
base = 1;
for (int j=0; j<i; j++) {
if (digit[j] < 1) count += prefix;
else if (digit[j]==1) count += prefix + suffix + 1;
else count += prefix+base;
base *= 10;
}
return count;
}

例如:
var a=[100,99,98,1,2, 3];

ANSWER
If only one swap can be taken, it is a O(n^2) searching problem, which can be reduced to O(nlogn) by sorting the arrays and doing binary search.
If any times of swaps can be performed, this is a double combinatorial problem.
In the book <<beauty of codes>>, a similar problem splits an array to halves as even as possible. It is possible to take binary search, when SUM of the array is not too high. Else this is a quite time consuming brute force problem. I cannot figure out a reasonable solution.

要求:(1)写出算法;(2)分析时间复杂度;(3)用C 写出关键代码
ANSWER
This is the traditional problem in Programming Pearls. However, the best result is too complicated to achieve. So lets do the suboptimal one. O(n^3) solution.
1) We have know that the similar problem for 1 dim array can be done in O(n) time. However, this cannot be done in both directions in the same time. We can only calculate the accumulations for all the sublist from i to j, (0<=i<=j<n) for each array in one dimension, which takes O(n^2) time. Then in the other dimension, do the tradtional greedy search.
3) To achieve O(n^2) for accumulation for each column, accumulate 0 to i (i=0,n-1) first, then calcuate the result by acc(i, j) = acc(0, j)-acc(0,i-1)
//acc[i*n+j] => acc(i,j)
void accumulate(int a[], int n, int acc[]) {
int i=0;
acc[i] = a[i];
for (i=1;i<n; i++) {
acc[i] = acc[i-1]+a[i];
}
for (i=1; i<n; i++) {
for (j=i; j<n; j++) {
acc[i*n+j] = acc[j] - acc[i-1];
}
}

n 支队伍比赛,分别编号为0,1,2。。。。n-1,已知它们之间的实力对比关系,
存储在一个二维数组w[n][n]中,w[i][j] 的值代表编号为i,j 的队伍中更强的一支。
所以w[i][j]=i 或者j,现在给出它们的出场顺序,并存储在数组order[n]中,
比如order[n] = {4,3,5,8,1......},那么第一轮比赛就是4 对3, 5 对8。.......
胜者晋级,败者淘汰,同一轮淘汰的所有队伍排名不再细分,即可以随便排,
下一轮由上一轮的胜者按照顺序,再依次两两比,比如可能是4 对5,直至出现第一名
编程实现,给出二维数组w,一维数组order 和用于输出比赛名次的数组result[n],
求出result。
ANSWER
This question is like no-copying merge, or in place matrix rotation.
* No-copying merge: merge order to result, then merge the first half from order, and so on.
* in place matrix rotation: rotate 01, 23, .. , 2k/2k+1 to 02...2k, 1,3,...2k+1...
The two approaches are both complicated. However, notice one special feature that the losers’ order doesn’t matter. Thus a half-way merge is much simpler and easier:
void knockOut(int **w, int order[], int result[], int n) {
int round = n;
memcpy(result, order, n*sizeof(int));
while (round>1) {
int i,j;
for (i=0,j=0; i<round; i+=2) {
int win= (i==round-1) ? i : w[i][i+1];
swap(result, j, win);
j++;
}
}
}

Use a sliding window and a counting array, plus a counter which monitors the num of zero slots in counting array. When there is still zero slot(s), advance the window head, until there is no zero slot. Then shrink the window until a slot comes zero. Then one candidate segment of (window_size + 1) is achieved. Repeat this. It is O(n) algorithm since each item is swallowed and left behind only once, and either operation is in constant time.

3. retrieve the information
Solution of 1: The most trivial way to efficiently identify the words is hash table or BST. A balanced BST with 100 words is about 17 levels high. Considering that 100k is not a big number, hashing is enough.
Solution of 2: Since the phrase in this problem consists of only 2 words, it is easy to split the words. There won’t be a lot of candidates. To find a legal combination, we need the “matching” information. So for each word, we need some data structure to tell whether a word can co-occur with it. 100k is a bad number -- cannot fit into a 16bit digit. However, 10k*100k is not too big, so we can simply use array of sorted array to do this. 1G integers, or 4G bytes is not a big number, We can also use something like VInt to save a lot of space. To find an index in a 10k sorted array, 14 comparisons are enough.
Above operation can be done in any reasonable work-station's memory very fast, which should be the result of execution of about a few thousands of simple statements.
Solution of 3: The information could be to big to fit in the memory. So a B-tree may be adopted to index the contents. Caching techniques is also helpful. Considering there are at most 10^9 entries, a 3 or 4 level of B-tree is okay, so it will be at most 5 disk access. However, there are thousands of requests and we can only do hundreds of disk seeking per second. It could be necessary to dispatch the information to several workstations.

42.请修改append 函数,利用这个函数实现:
两个非降序链表的并集,1->2->3 和2->3->5 并为1->2->3->5
另外只能输出结果,不能修改两个链表的数据。
ANSWER
I don’t quite understand what it means by “not modifying linked list’s data”. If some nodes will be given up, it is weird for this requirement.
Node * head(Node *h1, Node * h2) {
if (h1==NULL) return h2;
if (h2==NULL) return h1;
Node * head;
if (h1->data < h2->data) {
head =h1; h1=h1->next;
} else {
head = h2; h2=h2->next;
}
Node * p = head;
while (h1!=NULL || h2!=NULL) {
Node * candi;
if (h1!=NULL && h2 != NULL && h1->data < h2->data || h2==NULL) {
candi = h1; h1=h1->next;
} else {
candi = h2; h2=h2->next;
}
}
if (candi->data == p->data) delete(candi);
else {
p->next = candi; p=candi;
}
return head;
}
43.递归和非递归俩种方法实现二叉树的前序遍历。
ANSWER
void preorderRecursive(TreeNode * node) {
if (node == NULL) return;
visit(node);
preorderRecursive(node->left);
preorderRecursive(node->right);
}
For non-recursive traversals, a stack must be adopted to replace the implicit program stack in recursive programs.
void preorderNonrecursive(TreeNode * node) {
stack<TreeNode *> s;
s.push(node);
while (!s.empty()) {
TreeNode * n = s.pop();
visit(n);
if (n->right!=NULL) s.push(n->right);
if (n->left!=NULL) s.push(n->left);
}
}
void inorderNonrecursive(TreeNode * node) {
stack<TreeNode *> s;
TreeNode * current = node;
while (!s.empty() || current != NULL) {
if (current != NULL) {
s.push(current);
current = current->left;
} else {
current = s.pop();
visit(current);
current = current->right;
}
}
}
Postorder nonrecursive traversal is the hardest one. However, a simple observation helps that the node first traversed is the node last visited. This recalls the feature of stack. So we could use a stack to store all the nodes then pop them out altogether.
This is a very elegant solution, while takes O(n) space.
Other very smart methods also work, but this is the one I like the most.
void postorderNonrecursive(TreeNode * node) {
// visiting occurs only when current has no right child or last visited is his right child
stack<TreeNode *> sTraverse, sVisit;
sTraverse.push(node);
while (!sTraverse.empty()) {
TreeNode * p = sTraverse.pop();
sVisit.push(p);
if (p->left != NULL) sTraverse.push(p->left);
if (p->right != NULL) sTraverse.push(p->right);
}
while (!sVisit.empty()) {
visit(sVisit.pop);
}
}

1.对于一个整数矩阵,存在一种运算,对矩阵中任意元素加一时,需要其相邻(上下左右)
某一个元素也加一,现给出一正数矩阵,判断其是否能够由一个全零矩阵经过上述运算得到。
ANSWER
A assignment problem. Two ways to solve. 1: duplicate each cell to as many as its value, do Hungarian algorithm. Denote the sum of the matrix as M, the edge number is 2M, so the complexity is 2*M*M; 2: standard maximum flow. If the size of matrix is NxN, then the algorithm using Ford Fulkerson algorithm is M*N*N.
too complex... I will do this when I have time...
2.一个整数数组,长度为n,将其分为m 份,使各份的和相等,求m 的最大值
比如{3,2,4,3,6} 可以分成{3,2,4,3,6} m=1;
{3,6}{2,4,3} m=2
{3,3}{2,4}{6} m=3 所以m 的最大值为3
ANSWER
Two restrictions on m, 1) 1 <= m <= n; 2) Sum(array) mod m = 0
NOTE: no hint that a[i]>0, so m could be larger than sum/max;
So firstly prepare the candidates, then do a brute force search on possible m’s.
In the search , a DP is available, since if f(array, m) = OR_i( f(array-subset(i), m) ), where Sum(subset(i)) = m.
int maxShares(int a[], int n) {
int sum = 0;
int i, m;
for (i=0; i<n; i++) sum += a[i];
for (m=n; m>=2; m--) {
if (sum mod m != 0) continue;
int aux[n]; for (i=0; i<n; i++) aux[i] = 0;
if (testShares(a, n, m, sum, sum/m, aux, sum/m, 1)) return m;
}
return 1;
}
int testShares(int a[], int n, int m, int sum, int groupsum, int[] aux, int goal, int groupId) {
if (goal == 0) {
groupId++;
if (groupId == m+1) return 1;
}
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
if (aux[i] != 0) continue;
aux[i] = groupId;
if (testShares(a, n, m, sum, groupsum, aux, goal-a[i], groupId)) {
return 1;
}
aux[i] = 0;
}
}

求一个数组的最长递减子序列比如{9,4,3,2,5,4,3,2}的最长递减子序列为{9,5,
4,3,2}
ANSWER:
Scan from left to right, maintain a decreasing sequence. For each number, binary search in the decreasing sequence to see whether it can be substituted.
int[] findDecreasing(int[] a) {
int[] ds = new int[a.length];
Arrays.fill(ds, 0);
int dsl = 0;
int lastdsl = 0;
for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
// binary search in ds to find the first element ds[j] smaller than a[i]. set ds[j] = a[i], or append a[i] at the end of ds
int s=0, t=dsl-1;
while (s<=t) {
int m = s+(t-s)/2;
if (ds[m] < a[i]) {
t = m - 1;
} else {
s = m + 1;
}
}
// now s must be at the first ds[j]<a[i], or at the end of ds[]
ds[s] = a[i];
if (s > dsl) { dsl = s; lastdsl = i; }
}
// now trace back.
for (int i=lastdsl-1, j=dsl-1; i>=0 && j >= 0; i--) {
if (a[i] == ds[j]) { j --; }
else if (a[i] < ds[j]) { ds[j--] = a[i]; }

一个数组是由一个递减数列左移若干位形成的,比如{4,3,2,1,6,5}
是由{6,5,4,3,2,1}左移两位形成的,在这种数组中查找某一个数。
ANSWER:
The key is that, from the middle point of the array, half of the array is sorted, and the other half is a half-size shifted sorted array. So this can also be done recursively like a binary search.
int shiftedBinarySearch(int a[], int k) {
return helper(a, k, 0, n-1);
}
int helper(int a[], int k, int s, int t) {
if (s>t) return -1;
int m = s + (t-s)/2;
if (a[m] == k) return m;
else if (a[s] >= k && k > a[m]) return helper(a, k, s, m-1);
else return helper(a, k, m+1, e);

51.和为n 连续正数序列。
题目:输入一个正数n,输出所有和为n 连续正数序列。
例如输入15,由于1+2+3+4+5=4+5+6=7+8=15,所以输出3 个连续序列1-5、4-6 和7-8。
分析:这是网易的一道面试题。
ANSWER:
It seems that this can be solved by factorization. However, factorization of large n is impractical!
Suppose n=i+(i+1)+...+(j-1)+j, then n = (i+j)(j-i+1)/2 = (j*j - i*i + i + j)/2
=> j^2 + j + (i-i^2-2n) = 0 => j=sqrt(i^2-i+1/4+2n) - 1/2
We know 1 <= i < j <= n/2 + 1
So for each i in [1, n/2], do this arithmetic to check if there is a integer answer.
int findConsecutiveSequence(int n) {
int count = 0;
for (int i=1; i<=n/2; i++) {
int sqroot = calcSqrt(4*i*i+8*n-4*i+1);
if (sqroot == -1) continue;
if ((sqroot & 1) == 1) {
System.out.println(i+”-” + ((sqroot-1)/2));
count ++;
}
}
return count;
}
Use binary search to calculate sqrt, or just use math functions.
52.二元树的深度。
题目:输入一棵二元树的根结点,求该树的深度。

树的深度。
例如:输入二元树:
10
/ \
6 14
/ / \
4 12 16
输出该树的深度3。
二元树的结点定义如下:
struct SBinaryTreeNode // a node of the binary tree
{
int m_nValue; // value of node
SBinaryTreeNode *m_pLeft; // left child of node
SBinaryTreeNode *m_pRight; // right child of node
};
分析:这道题本质上还是考查二元树的遍历。

分析:这是一道很好的考查对递归理解的编程题,
因此在过去一年中频繁出现在各大公司的面试、笔试题中。
ANSWER:
Full permutation generation. I will use another technique that swap two neighboring characters each time. It seems that all the characters are different. I need to think about how to do it when duplications is allowed. Maybe simple recursion is better for that.
void generatePermutation(char s[], int n) {
if (n>20) { error(“are you crazy?”); }
byte d[n];
int pos[n], dpos[n]; // pos[i], the position of i’th number, dpos[i] the number in s[i] is the dpos[i]’th smallest
qsort(s); // I cannot remember the form of qsort in C...
memset(d, -1, sizeof(byte)*n);
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) pos[i]=i, dpos[i]=i;
int r;
while (r = findFirstAvailable(s, d, pos, n)) {
if (r== -1) return;
swap(s, pos, dpos, d, r, r+d[r]);
for (int i=n-1; i>dpos[r]; i--)
d[i] = -d[i];
}
}
int findFirstAvailable(char s[], byte d[], int pos[], int n) {
for (int i=n-1; i>1; i--) {
if (s[pos[i]] > s[pos[i]+d[pos[i]]]) return pos[i];
}
return -1;
}
#define aswap(ARR, X, Y) {int t=ARR[X]; ARR[X]=ARR[y]; ARR[Y]=t;}
void swap(char s[], int pos[], int dpos[], byte d[], int r, int s) {
aswap(s, r, s);
aswap(d, r, s);
aswap(pos, dpos[r], dpos[s]);
aswap(dpos, r, s);
}
Maybe full of bugs. Please refer to algorithm manual for explansion.
Pros: Amotized O(1) time for each move. Only two characters change position for each move.
Cons: as you can see, very complicated. Extra space needed.

56.最长公共字串。
题目:如果字符串一的所有字符按其在字符串中的顺序出现在另外一个字符串二中,
则字符串一称之为字符串二的子串。
注意,并不要求子串(字符串一)的字符必须连续出现在字符串二中。
请编写一个函数,输入两个字符串,求它们的最长公共子串,并打印出最长公共子串。
例如:输入两个字符串BDCABA 和ABCBDAB,字符串BCBA 和BDAB 都是是它们的最长公共子串,则输出它们的长度4,并打印任意一个子串。
分析:求最长公共子串(Longest Common Subsequence, LCS)是一道非常经典的动态规划
题,因此一些重视算法的公司像MicroStrategy 都把它当作面试题。
ANSWER:
Standard DP...
lcs(ap1, bp2) = max{ lcs(p1,p2)+1, lcs(p1, bp2), lcs(ap1, p2)}
int LCS(char *p1, char *p2) {
int l1= strlen(p1)+1, l2=strlen(p2)+1;
int a[l1*l2];
for (int i=0; i<l1; i++) a[i*l2] = 0;
for (int i=0; i<l2; i++) a[i] = 0;
for (int i=1; i<l1; i++) {
for (int j=1; j<l2; j++) {
int max = MAX(a[(i-1)*l2+l1], a[i*l2+l1-1]);
if (p1[i-1] == p2[j-1]) {
max = (max > 1 + a[(i-1)*l2+j-1]) ? max : 1+a[(i-1)*l2+j-1];
}
}
}
return a[l1*l2-1];

57.用俩个栈实现队列。
题目:某队列的声明如下:
template<typename T> class CQueue
{
public:
CQueue() {}
~CQueue() {}
void appendTail(const T& node); // append a element to tail
void deleteHead(); // remove a element from head
private:
Stack<T> m_stack1;
Stack<T> m_stack2;
};
分析:从上面的类的声明中,我们发现在队列中有两个栈。
因此这道题实质上是要求我们用两个栈来实现一个队列。
相信大家对栈和队列的基本性质都非常了解了:栈是一种后入先出的数据容器,
因此对队列进行的插入和删除操作都是在栈顶上进行;队列是一种先入先出的数据容器,
我们总是把新元素插入到队列的尾部,而从队列的头部删除元素。
ANSWER
Traditional problem in CLRS.
void appendTail(const T& node) {
m_stack1.push(node);
}
T getHead() {
if (!m_stack2.isEmpty()) {
return m_stack2.pop();
}
if (m_stack1.isEmpty()) error(“delete from empty queue”);
while (!m_stack1.isEmpty()) {
m_stack2.push(m_stack1.pop());
}
return m_stack2.pop();
}

All the possible values includes n to 6n. All the event number is 6^n.
For n<=S<=6n, the number of events is f(S, n)
f(S,n) = f(S-6, n-1) + f(S-5, n-1) + … + f(S-1, n-1)
number of events that all dices are 1s is only 1, and thus f(k, k) = 1, f(1-6, 1) = 1, f(x, 1)=0 where x<1 or x>6, f(m, n)=0 where m<n
Can do it in DP.
void listAllProbabilities(int n) {
int[][] f = new int[6*n+1][];
for (int i=0; i<=6*n; i++) {
f[i] = new int[n+1];
}
for (int i=1; i<=6; i++) {
f[i][1] = 1;
}
for (int i=1; i<=n; i++) {
f[i][i] = 1;
}
for (int i=2; i<=n; i++) {
for (int j=i+1; j<=6*i; j++) {
for (int k=(j-6<i-1)?i-1:j-6; k<j-1; k++)
f[j][i] += f[k][i-1];
}
}
double p6 = Math.power(6, n);
for (int i=n; i<=6*n; i++) {
System.out.println(“P(S=”+i+”)=”+((double)f[i][n] / p6));
}
}
68.把数组排成最小的数。
题目:输入一个正整数数组,将它们连接起来排成一个数,输出能排出的所有数字中最小的
一个。
例如输入数组{32, 321},则输出这两个能排成的最小数字32132。
请给出解决问题的算法,并证明该算法。
分析:这是09 年6 月份百度的一道面试题,
从这道题我们可以看出百度对应聘者在算法方面有很高的要求。
ANSWER:
Actually this problem has little to do with algorithm...
The concern is, you must figure out how to arrange to achieve a smaller figure.
The answer is, if ab < ba, then a < b, and this is a total order.
String smallestDigit(int a[]) {
Integer aux[] = new Integer[a.length];
for (int i=0; i<a.length; a++) aux[i] = a[i];
Arrays.sort(aux, new Comparator<Integer>(){
int compareTo(Integer i1, Integer i2) {
return (“”+i1+i2).compare(“”+i2+i1);
}
});
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i=0; i<aux.length, i++) {
sb.append(aux[i]);
}
return sb.toString();
}
69.旋转数组中的最小元素。
题目:把一个数组最开始的若干个元素搬到数组的末尾,我们称之为数组的旋转。输入一个
排好序的数组的一个旋转,
输出旋转数组的最小元素。例如数组{3, 4, 5, 1, 2}为{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}的一个旋转,该数
组的最小值为1。
分析:这道题最直观的解法并不难。从头到尾遍历数组一次,就能找出最小的元素,时间复杂度显然是O(N)。但这个思路没有利用输入数组的特性,我们应该能找到更好的解法。
ANSWER
This is like the shifted array binary search problem. One blind point is that you may miss the part that the array is shifted by 0(or kN), that is not shifted.
int shiftedMinimum(int a[], int n) {
return helper(a, 0, n-1);
}
int helper(int a[], int s, int t) {
if (s == t || a[s] < a[t]) return a[s];
int m = s + (t-s)/2;
if (a[s]>a[m]) return helper(a, s, m);
else return helper(a, m+1, t);
}
70.给出一个函数来输出一个字符串的所有排列。
ANSWER 简单的回溯就可以实现了。当然排列的产生也有很多种算法,去看看组合数学,
还有逆序生成排列和一些不需要递归生成排列的方法。
印象中Knuth 的<TAOCP>第一卷里面深入讲了排列的生成。这些算法的理解需要一定的数学功底,也需要一定的灵感,有兴趣最好看看。
ANSWER:
Have done this.
71.数值的整数次方。
题目:实现函数double Power(double base, int exponent),求base 的exponent 次方。
不需要考虑溢出。
分析:这是一道看起来很简单的问题。可能有不少的人在看到题目后30 秒写出如下的代码:
double Power(double base, int exponent)
{
double result = 1.0;
for(int i = 1; i <= exponent; ++i)
result *= base;
return result;
}
ANSWER
…
double power(double base, int exp) {
if (exp == 1) return base;
double half = power(base, exp >> 1);
return (((exp & 1) == 1) ? base : 1.0) * half * half;
}
72. 题目:设计一个类,我们只能生成该类的一个实例。
分析:只能生成一个实例的类是实现了Singleton 模式的类型。
ANSWER
I’m not good at multithread programming... But if we set a lazy initialization, the “if” condition could be interrupted thus multiple constructor could be called, so we must add synchronized to the if judgements, which is a loss of efficiency. Putting it to the static initialization will guarantee that the constructor only be executed once by the java class loader.
public class Singleton {
private static Singleton instance = new Singleton();
private synchronized Singleton() {
}
public Singleton getInstance() {
return instance();
}
}
This may not be correct. I’m quite bad at this...
73.对策字符串的最大长度。
题目:输入一个字符串,输出该字符串中对称的子字符串的最大长度。比如输入字符串“google”,由于该字符串里最长的对称子字符串是“goog”,因此输出4。
分析:可能很多人都写过判断一个字符串是不是对称的函数,这个题目可以看成是该函数的
加强版。
ANSWER
Build a suffix tree of x and inverse(x), the longest anagram is naturally found.
Suffix tree can be built in O(n) time so this is a linear time solution.
74.数组中超过出现次数超过一半的数字
题目:数组中有一个数字出现的次数超过了数组长度的一半,找出这个数字。
分析:这是一道广为流传的面试题,包括百度、微软和Google 在内的多家公司都
曾经采用过这个题目。要几十分钟的时间里很好地解答这道题,
除了较好的编程能力之外,还需要较快的反应和较强的逻辑思维能力。
ANSWER
Delete every two different digits. The last one that left is the one.
int getMajor(int a[], int n) {
int x, cnt=0;
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
if (cnt == 0) {
x = a[i]; cnt++;
} else if (a[i]==x) {
cnt ++;
} else {
cnt --;
}
}
return x;
}
75.二叉树两个结点的最低共同父结点
题目:二叉树的结点定义如下:
struct TreeNode
{
int m_nvalue;
TreeNode* m_pLeft;
TreeNode* m_pRight;
};
输入二叉树中的两个结点,输出这两个结点在数中最低的共同父结点。
分析:求数中两个结点的最低共同结点是面试中经常出现的一个问题。这个问题至少有两个
变种。
ANSWER
Have done this. Do it again for memory...
TreeNode* getLCA(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* X, TreeNode *Y) {
if (root == NULL) return NULL;
if (X == root || Y == root) return root;
TreeNode * left = getLCA(root->m_pLeft, X, Y);
TreeNode * right = getLCA(root->m_pRight, X, Y);
if (left == NULL) return right;
else if (right == NULL) return left;
else return root;
}
76.复杂链表的复制
题目:有一个复杂链表,其结点除了有一个m_pNext 指针指向下一个结点外,还有一个m_pSibling 指向链表中的任一结点或者NULL。其结点的C++定义如下:
struct ComplexNode
{
int m_nValue;
ComplexNode* m_pNext;
ComplexNode* m_pSibling;
};
下图是一个含有5 个结点的该类型复杂链表。
图中实线箭头表示m_pNext 指针,虚线箭头表示m_pSibling 指针。为简单起见,指向NULL 的指针没有画出。请完成函数ComplexNode* Clone(ComplexNode* pHead),以复制一个复杂链表。
分析:在常见的数据结构上稍加变化,这是一种很新颖的面试题。
要在不到一个小时的时间里解决这种类型的题目,我们需要较快的反应能力,
对数据结构透彻的理解以及扎实的编程功底。
ANSWER
Have heard this before, never seriously thought it.
The trick is like this: take use of the old pSibling, make it points to the new created cloned node, while make the new cloned node’s pNext backup the old pSibling.
ComplexNode * Clone(ComplexNode* pHead) {
if (pHead == NULL) return NULL;
preClone(pHead);
inClone(pHead);
return postClone(pHead);
}
void preClone(ComplexNode* pHead) {
ComplexNode * p = new ComplexNode();
p->m_pNext = pHead->m_pSibling;
pHead->m_pSibling = p;
if (pHead->m_pNext != NULL) preClone(pHead->m_pNext);
}
void inClone(ComplexNode * pHead) {
ComplexNode * pSib = pNew->m_pNext;
if (pSib == NULL) { pNew->m_pSibling = NULL; }
else { pNew->m_pSibling = pSib->m_pSibling; }
if (pHead->m_pNext != NULL) inClone(pHead->m_pNext);
}
ComplexNode * postClone(ComplexNode * pHead) {
ComplexNode * pNew = pHead->m_pSibling;
ComplexNode * pSib = pNew->m_pNext;
if (pHead->m_pNext != NULL) {
pNew->m_pNext = pHead->m_pNext->m_pSibling;
pHead->m_pSibling = pSib;
postClone(pHead->m_pNext);
} else {
pNew->pNext = NULL;
pHead->m_pSibling = NULL;
}
return pNew;
}
77.关于链表问题的面试题目如下:
1.给定单链表,检测是否有环。
使用两个指针p1,p2 从链表头开始遍历,p1 每次前进一步,p2 每次前进两步。如果p2 到
达链表尾部,说明无环,否则p1、p2 必然会在某个时刻相遇(p1==p2),从而检测到链表中有环。
2.给定两个单链表(head1, head2),检测两个链表是否有交点,如果有返回第一个交点。如果head1==head2,那么显然相交,直接返回head1。否则,分别从head1,head2 开始遍历两个链表获得其长度len1 与len2,假设len1>=len2,那么指针p1 由head1 开始向后移动len1-len2 步,指针p2=head2,下面p1、p2 每次向后前进一步并比较p1p2 是否相等,如果相等即返回该结点,否则说明两个链表没有交点。
3.给定单链表(head),如果有环的话请返回从头结点进入环的第一个节点。
运用题一,我们可以检查链表中是否有环。如果有环,那么p1p2 重合点p 必然在环中。从p 点断开环,方法为:p1=p, p2=p->next, p->next=NULL。此时,原单链表可以看作两条单链表,一条从head 开始,另一条从p2 开始,于是运用题二的方法,我们找到它们的第一个交点即为所求。
4.只给定单链表中某个结点p(并非最后一个结点,即p->next!=NULL)指针,删除该结点。办法很简单,首先是放p 中数据,然后将p->next 的数据copy 入p 中,接下来删除p->next即可。
5.只给定单链表中某个结点p(非空结点),在p 前面插入一个结点。办法与前者类似,首先分配一个结点q,将q 插入在p 后,接下来将p 中的数据copy 入q中,然后再将要插入的数据记录在p 中。
78.链表和数组的区别在哪里?
分析:主要在基本概念上的理解。
但是最好能考虑的全面一点,现在公司招人的竞争可能就在细节上产生,谁比较仔细,谁获胜的机会就大。
ANSWER
1. Besides the common staff, linked list is more abstract and array is usually a basic real world object. When mentioning “linked list”, it doesn’t matter how it is implemented, that is, as long as it supports “get data” and “get next”, it is a linked list. But almost all programming languages provides array as a basic data structure.
2. So array is more basic. You can implement a linked list in an array, but cannot in the other direction.
79.
1.编写实现链表排序的一种算法。说明为什么你会选择用这样的方法?
ANSWER
For linked list sorting, usually mergesort is the best choice. Pros: O(1) auxilary space, compared to array merge sort. No node creation, just pointer operations.
Node * linkedListMergeSort(Node * pHead) {
int len = getLen(pHead);
return mergeSort(pHead, len);
}
Node * mergeSort(Node * p, int len) {
if (len == 1) { p->next = NULL; return p; }
Node * pmid = p;
for (int i=0; i<len/2; i++) {
pmid = pmid->next;
}
Node * p1 = mergeSort(p, len/2);
Node * p2 = mergeSort(pmid, len - len/2);
return merge(p1, p2);
}
Node * merge(Node * p1, Node * p2) {
Node * p = NULL, * ph = NULL;
while (p1!=NULL && p2!=NULL) {
if (p1->data<p2->data) {
if (ph == NULL) {ph = p = p1;}
else { p->next = p1; p1 = p1->next; p = p->next;}
} else {
if (ph == NULL) {ph = p = p2;}
else { p->next = p2; p2 = p2->next; p = p->next;}
}
}
p->next = (p1==NULL) ? p2 : p1;
return ph;
}
2.编写实现数组排序的一种算法。说明为什么你会选择用这样的方法?
ANSWER
Actually, it depends on the data. If arbitrary data is given in the array, I would choose quick sort. It is asy to implement, fast.
3.请编写能直接实现strstr()函数功能的代码。
ANSWER
Substring test? Have done this.

2.一个文件,内含一千万行字符串,每个字符串在1K 以内,要求找出所有相反的串对,如abc 和cba。
ANSWER
So we have ~10G data. It is unlikely to put them all into main memory. Anyway, calculate the hash of each line in the first round, at the second round calculate the hash of the reverse of the line and remembers only the line number pairs that the hashes of the two directions collides. The last round only test those lines.
3.STL 的set 用什么实现的?为什么不用hash?
ANSWER
I don’t quite know. Only heard of that map in stl is implemented with red-black tree. One good thing over hash is that you don’t need to re-hash when data size grows.

char * p = str;
int n = strlen(sub);
while ( *p != ‘\0’ ) {
if (strncmp(p, sub, n) == 0) count ++;
p++;

怎样编写一个程序,把一个有序整数数组放到二叉树中?
分析:本题考察二叉搜索树的建树方法,简单的递归结构。关于树的算法设计一定要联想到递归,因为树本身就是递归的定义。而,学会把递归改称非递归也是一种必要的技术。毕竟,递归会造成栈溢出,关于系统底层的程序中不到非不得以最好不要用。但是对某些数学问题,就一定要学会用递归去解决。

The answer is the swap number of insertion sort. The straightforward method is to do insertion sort and accumulate the swap numbers, which is slow: O(n^2)
A sub-quadratic solution can be done by DP.

输入[1,3,0,5,-1,6]
输出[-1,1,3,5]
要求时间复杂度,空间复杂度尽量小
ANSWER
Firstly sort the array. Then do DP: for each a[i], update the length of the arithmetic sequences. That’s a O(n^3) solution. Each arithmetic sequence can be determined by the last item and the step size.
95.华为面试题
1 判断一字符串是不是对称的,如:abccba
ANSWER
Two cursors.
2.用递归的方法判断整数组a[N]是不是升序排列
ANSWER
boolean isAscending(int a[]) {
return isAscending(a, 0);
}
boolean isAscending(int a[], int start) {
return start == a.length - 1 || isAscending(a, start+1);
}
96.08 年中兴校园招聘笔试题
1.编写strcpy 函数
已知strcpy 函数的原型是
char *strcpy(char *strDest, const char *strSrc);
其中strDest 是目的字符串,strSrc 是源字符串。不调用C++/C 的字符串库函数,请编写函数strcpy
ANSWER
char *strcpy(char *strDest, const char *strSrc) {
if (strSrc == NULL) return NULL;
char *i = strSrc, *j = strDest;
while (*i != ‘\0’) {
*j++ = *i++;
}
*j = ‘\0’;
return strDest;
}
Maybe you need to check if src and dest overlaps, then decide whether to copy from tail to head.

1.第一题. 五个海盗抢到了100 颗宝石,每一颗都一样大小和价值连城。他们决定这么分:
抽签决定自己的号码(1、2、3、4、5)
首先,由1 号提出分配方案,然后大家表决,当且仅当超过半数的人同意时,
按照他的方案进行分配,否则将被扔进大海喂鲨鱼
如果1 号死后,再由2 号提出分配方案,然后剩下的4 人进行表决,
当且仅当超过半数的人同意时,按照他的方案进行分配,否则将被扔入大海喂鲨鱼。
依此类推
条件:每个海盗都是很聪明的人,都能很理智地做出判断,从而做出选择。
问题:第一个海盗提出怎样的分配方案才能使自己的收益最大化?
Answer:
A traditional brain teaser.
Consider #5, whatever #4 proposes, he won’t agree, so #4 must agree whatever #3 proposes. So if there are only #3-5, #3 should propose (100, 0, 0). So the expected income of #3 is 100, and #4 and #5 is 0 for 3 guy problem. So whatever #2 proposes, #3 won’t agree, but if #2 give #4 and #5 $1, they can get more than 3-guy subproblem. So #2 will propose (98, 0, 1, 1). So for #1, if give #2 less than $98, #2 won’t agree. But he can give #3 $1 and #4 or #5 $2, so this is a (97, 0, 1, 2, 0) solution.
2.一道关于飞机加油的问题,已知:
每个飞机只有一个油箱,
飞机之间可以相互加油(注意是相互,没有加油机)
一箱油可供一架飞机绕地球飞半圈,
问题:
为使至少一架飞机绕地球一圈回到起飞时的飞机场,至少需要出动几架飞机?
(所有飞机从同一机场起飞,而且必须安全返回机场,不允许中途降落,中间没有飞机场)
Pass。ok,微软面试全部100题答案至此完。
