算法养成记：删除排序数组中的重复项

LeetCode26

Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array

Given a sorted array nums, remove the duplicates in-place such that each element appear only once and return the new length.

Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

Example 1:

Given nums = [1,1,2], Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 1 and 2 respectively. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.

Example 2:

Given nums = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4], Your function should return length = 5, with the first five elements of nums being modified to 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. It doesn't matter what values are set beyond the returned length.

Clarification:

Confused why the returned value is an integer but your answer is an array?

Note that the input array is passed in by reference, which means modification to the input array will be known to the caller as well.

Internally you can think of this:

// nums is passed in by reference. (i.e., without making a copy) int len = removeDuplicates(nums); // any modification to nums in your function would be known by the caller. // using the length returned by your function, it prints the first len elements. for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { print(nums[i]); }

中文意思就是：

给定一个排序数组，你需要在 原地 删除重复出现的元素，使得每个元素只出现一次，返回移除后数组的新长度。

不要使用额外的数组空间，你必须在 原地 修改输入数组 并在使用 O(1) 额外空间的条件下完成。

示例 1:

给定数组 nums = [1,1,2],

函数应该返回新的长度 2, 并且原数组 nums 的前两个元素被修改为 1, 2。

你不需要考虑数组中超出新长度后面的元素。

示例 2:

给定 nums = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4],

函数应该返回新的长度 5, 并且原数组 nums 的前五个元素被修改为 0, 1, 2, 3, 4。

你不需要考虑数组中超出新长度后面的元素。

说明:

为什么返回数值是整数，但输出的答案是数组呢?

请注意，输入数组是以「引用」方式传递的，这意味着在函数里修改输入数组对于调用者是可见的。

你可以想象内部操作如下:

// nums 是以“引用”方式传递的。也就是说，不对实参做任何拷贝

int len = removeDuplicates(nums);

// 在函数里修改输入数组对于调用者是可见的。

// 根据你的函数返回的长度, 它会打印出数组中该长度范围内的所有元素。

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {

print(nums[i]);

}

在实际测试里

执行用时分别是：0ms,0ms

内存消耗分别是:41.7MB,41.3MB

这题几乎没有难度，但是能够写得简洁漂亮，就会有些困难了。
