Given an array of integers citations
where citations[i]
is the number of citations a researcher received for their ith
paper, return compute the researcher's h
-index.
According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: A scientist has an index h
if h
of their n
papers have at least h
citations each, and the other n − h
papers have no more than h
citations each.
If there are several possible values for h
, the maximum one is taken as the h
-index.
Example 1:
Input: citations = [3,0,6,1,5] Output: 3 Explanation: [3,0,6,1,5] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively. Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, their h-index is 3.
Example 2:
Input: citations = [1,3,1] Output: 1
Constraints:
n == citations.length
1 <= n <= 5000
0 <= citations[i] <= 1000
The simplest solution is to judge after sort, but because H
cannot be greater than the total number of papers, it can be optimized by counting sort.
class Solution:
def hIndex(self, citations: List[int]) -> int:
n = len(citations)
cnt = [0 for i in range(n + 1)]
for c in citations:
if c <= n:
cnt[c] += 1
else:
cnt[n] += 1
sum = 0
for i in range(n, -1, -1):
sum += cnt[i]
if sum >= i:
return i
return 0
class Solution {
public int hIndex(int[] citations) {
int n = citations.length;
int[] cnt = new int[n + 1];
for (int c : citations) {
if (c <= n) {
++cnt[c];
} else {
++cnt[n];
}
}
int sum = 0;
for (int i = n; i >= 0; --i) {
sum += cnt[i];
if (sum >= i) {
return i;
}
}
return 0;
}
}
function hIndex(citations: number[]): number {
let n = citations.length;
let cnt = new Array(n + 1).fill(0);
for (let c of citations) {
if (c <= n) {
++cnt[c];
} else {
++cnt[n];
}
}
let sum = 0;
for (let i = n; i > -1; --i) {
sum += cnt[i];
if (sum >= i) {
return i;
}
}
return 0;
}
Use binary search to locate the maximum value that meets the conditions
func hIndex(citations []int) int {

for left+1 < right {

if check(citations, mid) {
left = mid
} else {

}
}
if check(citations, right) {
return right
}

}
func check(citations []int, mid int) bool {
cnt := 0
for _, citation := range citations {
if citation >= mid {
