950. Reveal Cards In Increasing Order

QUESTION:

In a deck of cards, every card has a unique integer. You can order the deck in any order you want.

Initially, all the cards start face down (unrevealed) in one deck.

Now, you do the following steps repeatedly, until all cards are revealed:

  1. Take the top card of the deck, reveal it, and take it out of the deck.
  2. If there are still cards in the deck, put the next top card of the deck at the bottom of the deck.
  3. If there are still unrevealed cards, go back to step 1. Otherwise, stop.

Return an ordering of the deck that would reveal the cards in increasing order.

The first entry in the answer is considered to be the top of the deck.

Example 1:

Input: [17,13,11,2,3,5,7]
Output: [2,13,3,11,5,17,7]
Explanation: 
We get the deck in the order [17,13,11,2,3,5,7] (this order doesn't matter), and reorder it.
After reordering, the deck starts as [2,13,3,11,5,17,7], where 2 is the top of the deck.
We reveal 2, and move 13 to the bottom.  The deck is now [3,11,5,17,7,13].
We reveal 3, and move 11 to the bottom.  The deck is now [5,17,7,13,11].
We reveal 5, and move 17 to the bottom.  The deck is now [7,13,11,17].
We reveal 7, and move 13 to the bottom.  The deck is now [11,17,13].
We reveal 11, and move 17 to the bottom.  The deck is now [13,17].
We reveal 13, and move 17 to the bottom.  The deck is now [17].
We reveal 17.
Since all the cards revealed are in increasing order, the answer is correct.

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 1000
  2. 1 <= A[i] <= 10^6
  3. A[i] != A[j] for all i != j

EXPLANATION:

其实这道题思路也挺简单的,反过来不就可以了么

1.插入一个数在0的位置

2.同时将最后位置的数摆在1的位置

3.如此反复,得到最初的数组

那这样反过来的就是最后的结果。那么反过来摆进去的数字顺序也就是从大到小的情况。

SOLUTION:

class Solution {
    public int[] deckRevealedIncreasing(int[] deck) {
        Arrays.sort(deck);
        ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
        if(deck.length<3)  return deck;
        for(int i = deck.length-1;i>=0;i--){
            list.add(0,deck[i]);
            list.add(1,list.get(list.size()-1));
            list.remove(list.size()-1);
        }
        for(int i =0;i<list.size();i++){
            deck[i] = list.get(i);
        }
        return deck;
    }
}
