Given a positive integer n and you can do operations as follow:
What is the minimum number of replacements needed for n to become 1?
Example 1:
Input:
8
Output:
3
Explanation:
8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
Example 2:
Input:
7
Output:
4
Explanation:
7 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
or
7 -> 6 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1
class Solution {
private:
std::unordered_map<long long , long long> map = std::unordered_map<long long, long long>{};
public:
int integerReplacement(long long n) {
if(n == 1) {
return 0;
}
if(map[n] == 0) {
if(n & 1 == 1) {
map[n] = 2 + std::min(integerReplacement((n + 1) / 2), integerReplacement((n - 1) / 2));
} else {
map[n] = 1 + integerReplacement(n / 2);
}
}
return map[n];
}
};
