744. 寻找比目标字母大的最小字母

English Version

题目描述

给你一个排序后的字符列表 letters ，列表中只包含小写英文字母。另给出一个目标字母 target，请你寻找在这一有序列表里比目标字母大的最小字母。

在比较时，字母是依序循环出现的。举个例子：

• 如果目标字母 target = 'z' 并且字符列表为 letters = ['a', 'b']，则答案返回 'a'

 

示例：

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "a"
输出: "c"

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "c"
输出: "f"

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "d"
输出: "f"

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "g"
输出: "j"

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "j"
输出: "c"

输入:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
输出: "c"

 

提示：

1. letters长度范围在[2, 10000]区间内。
2. letters 仅由小写字母组成，最少包含两个不同的字母。
3. 目标字母target 是一个小写字母。

解法

Python3

class Solution:
    def nextGreatestLetter(self, letters: List[str], target: str) -> str:
        left, right = 0, len(letters)
        while left < right:
            mid = (left + right) >> 1
            if ord(letters[mid]) > ord(target):
                right = mid
            else:
                left = mid + 1
        return letters[left % len(letters)]

Java

class Solution {
    public char nextGreatestLetter(char[] letters, char target) {
        int left = 0, right = letters.length;
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = (left + right) >> 1;
            if (letters[mid] > target) {
                right = mid;
            } else {
                left = mid + 1;
            }
        }
        return letters[left % letters.length];
    }
}

TypeScript

function nextGreatestLetter(letters: string[], target: string): string {
    let left = 0, right = letters.length;
    let x = target.charCodeAt(0);
    while (left < right) {
        let mid = (left + right) >> 1;
        if (x < letters[mid].charCodeAt(0)) {
            right = mid;
        } else {
            left = mid + 1;
        }
    }
    return letters[left % letters.length];
};

C++

class Solution {
public:
    char nextGreatestLetter(vector<char>& letters, char target) {
        int left = 0, right = letters.size();
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = left + right >> 1;
            if (letters[mid] > target) {
                right = mid;
            } else {
                left = mid + 1;
            }
        }
        return letters[left % letters.size()];
    }
};

Go

func nextGreatestLetter(letters []byte, target byte) byte {
	left, right := 0, len(letters)
	for left < right {
		mid := (left + right) >> 1
		if letters[mid] > target {
			right = mid
		} else {
			left = mid + 1
		}
	}
	return letters[left%len(letters)]
}
