4. Median of Two Sorted Arrays
Given two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively, return the median of the two sorted arrays.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,3], nums2 = [2]
Output: 2.00000
Explanation: merged array = [1,2,3] and median is 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [1,2], nums2 = [3,4]
Output: 2.50000
Explanation: merged array = [1,2,3,4] and median is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5.
Example 3:
Input: nums1 = [0,0], nums2 = [0,0]
Output: 0.00000
Example 4:
Input: nums1 = [], nums2 = [1]
Output: 1.00000
Example 5:
Input: nums1 = [2], nums2 = []
Output: 2.00000
Constraints:
nums1.length == mnums2.length == n0 <= m <= 10000 <= n <= 10001 <= m + n <= 2000106 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 106Follow up:
The overall run time complexity should be
O(log (m+n))
.
To solve this problem, we need to understand "What is the use of median". In statistics, the median is used for dividing a set into two equal length subsets, that one subset is always greater than the other. If we understand the use of median for dividing, we are very close to the answer.
First let's cut A into two parts at a random position i:
left_A | right_A
A[0], A[1], ..., A[i-1] | A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[m-1]
Since A has m elements, so there are m+1 kinds of cutting( i = 0 ~ m ). And we know: len(left_A) = i, len(right_A) = m - i . Note: when i = 0 , left_A is empty, and when i = m , right_A is empty.
With the same way, cut B into two parts at a random position j:
left_B | right_B
B[0], B[1], ..., B[j-1] | B[j], B[j+1], ..., B[n-1]
Put left_A and left_B into one set, and put right_A and right_B into another set. Let's name them left_part and right_part :
left_part | right_part
A[0], A[1], ..., A[i-1] | A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[m-1]
B[0], B[1], ..., B[j-1] | B[j], B[j+1], ..., B[n-1]
If we can ensure:
1) len(left_part) == len(right_part)
2) max(left_part) <= min(right_part)
then we divide all elements in {A, B} into two parts with equal length, and one part is always greater than the other. Then median = (max(left_part) + min(right_part))/2.
To ensure these two conditions, we just need to ensure:
(1) i + j == m - i + n - j (or: m - i + n - j + 1)
if n >= m, we just need to set: i = 0 ~ m, j = (m + n + 1)/2 - i
(2) B[j-1] <= A[i] and A[i-1] <= B[j]
ps.1 For simplicity, I presume A[i-1],B[j-1],A[i],B[j] are always valid even if i=0/i=m/j=0/j=n . I will talk about how to deal with these edge values at last.
ps.2 Why n >= m? Because I have to make sure j is non-nagative since 0 <= i <= m and j = (m + n + 1)/2 - i. If n < m , then j may be nagative, that will lead to wrong result.
So, all we need to do is:
Searching i in [0, m], to find an object i that:
B[j-1] <= A[i] and A[i-1] <= B[j], ( where j = (m + n + 1)/2 - i )
And we can do a binary search following steps described below:
<1> Set imin = 0, imax = m, then start searching in [imin, imax]
<2> Set i = (imin + imax)/2, j = (m + n + 1)/2 - i
<3> Now we have len(left_part)==len(right_part). And there are only 3 situations
that we may encounter:
<a> B[j-1] <= A[i] and A[i-1] <= B[j]
Means we have found the object `i`, so stop searching.
<b> B[j-1] > A[i]
Means A[i] is too small. We must `ajust` i to get `B[j-1] <= A[i]`.
Can we `increase` i?
Yes. Because when i is increased, j will be decreased.
So B[j-1] is decreased and A[i] is increased, and `B[j-1] <= A[i]` may
be satisfied.
Can we `decrease` i?
`No!` Because when i is decreased, j will be increased.
So B[j-1] is increased and A[i] is decreased, and B[j-1] <= A[i] will
be never satisfied.
So we must `increase` i. That is, we must ajust the searching range to
[i+1, imax]. So, set imin = i+1, and goto <2>.
<c> A[i-1] > B[j]
Means A[i-1] is too big. And we must `decrease` i to get `A[i-1]<=B[j]`.
That is, we must ajust the searching range to [imin, i-1].
So, set imax = i-1, and goto <2>.
When the object i is found, the median is:
max(A[i-1], B[j-1]) (when m + n is odd)
or (max(A[i-1], B[j-1]) + min(A[i], B[j]))/2 (when m + n is even)
Now let's consider the edges values i=0,i=m,j=0,j=n where A[i-1],B[j-1],A[i],B[j] may not exist. Actually this situation is easier than you think.
What we need to do is ensuring that max(left_part) <= min(right_part). So, if i and j are not edges values(means A[i-1],B[j-1],A[i],B[j] all exist), then we must check both B[j-1] <= A[i] and A[i-1] <= B[j]. But if some of A[i-1],B[j-1],A[i],B[j] don't exist, then we don't need to check one(or both) of these two conditions. For example, if i=0, then A[i-1] doesn't exist, then we don't need to check A[i-1] <= B[j]. So, what we need to do is:
Searching i in [0, m], to find an object `i` that:
(j == 0 or i == m or B[j-1] <= A[i]) and
(i == 0 or j == n or A[i-1] <= B[j])
where j = (m + n + 1)/2 - i
And in a searching loop, we will encounter only three situations:
<a> (j == 0 or i == m or B[j-1] <= A[i]) and
(i == 0 or j = n or A[i-1] <= B[j])
Means i is perfect, we can stop searching.
<b> j > 0 and i < m and B[j - 1] > A[i]
Means i is too small, we must increase it.
<c> i > 0 and j < n and A[i - 1] > B[j]
Means i is too big, we must decrease it.
Thank @Quentin.chen , him pointed out that: i < m ==> j > 0 and i > 0 ==> j < n . Because:
m <= n, i < m ==> j = (m+n+1)/2 - i > (m+n+1)/2 - m >= (2*m+1)/2 - m >= 0
m <= n, i > 0 ==> j = (m+n+1)/2 - i < (m+n+1)/2 <= (2*n+1)/2 <= n
So in situation and , we don't need to check whether j > 0 and whether j < n.
Below is the accepted code:
def median(A, B):
m, n = len(A), len(B)
if m > n:
A, B, m, n = B, A, n, m
if n == 0:
raise ValueError
imin, imax, half_len = 0, m, (m + n + 1) / 2
while imin <= imax:
i = (imin + imax) / 2
j = half_len - i
if i < m and B[j-1] > A[i]:
# i is too small, must increase it
imin = i + 1
elif i > 0 and A[i-1] > B[j]:
# i is too big, must decrease it
imax = i - 1
else:
# i is perfect
if i == 0: max_of_left = B[j-1]
elif j == 0: max_of_left = A[i-1]
else: max_of_left = max(A[i-1], B[j-1])
if (m + n) % 2 == 1:
return max_of_left
if i == m: min_of_right = B[j]
elif j == n: min_of_right = A[i]
else: min_of_right = min(A[i], B[j])
return (max_of_left + min_of_right) / 2.0
