Bye wordpress, bye PHP!

Sorry to leave but it’s time to move on.

Example of Sending SMS in PHP Using AWS SNS

$client = AWS::createClient('Sns');
$sms = [
    'Message' => 'sms_content',
    'PhoneNumber' => 'sms_recipient',
    'MessageAttributes' => [
        'AWS.SNS.SMS.SenderID' => [
            'DataType' => 'String',
            'StringValue' => 'AD'
        ],
        'AWS.SNS.SMS.SMSType' => [
            'DataType' => 'String',
            'StringValue' => 'Transactional'
        ],
    ]
];
$result = $client->publish($sms);

[CI] Bulb Switcher

There are n bulbs that are initially off. You first turn on all the bulbs. Then, you turn off every second bulb. On the third round, you toggle every third bulb (turning on if it’s off or turning off if it’s on). For the _n_th round, you only toggle the last bulb. Find how many bulbs are on after n rounds.
It’s quite a interesting problem and more like a math problem than a coding one. The direct solution is do the swith round by round and we can get the result at the final round. The time complexity of the direct solution is O(n2). The example code is as follows,
public int bulbSwitch(int n) {
        int[] lights = new int[n];
        int cnt = 0;
        int i = 0;
        // initailize the array
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            lights[i] = 0;
        }
        // do the round toggle
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            for (int j = i; j < n; j += i + 1) {
                lights[j] = lights[j] == 0 ? 1 : 0;
            }
        }
        // get the result
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            cnt += lights[i];
        }
        return cnt;
}
Seems like a perfect answer which definitely is not. When I submitted the above code on LeetCode OJ, the platform threw out an error of RUNNING TIME OUT. So it’s time to get the code optimized.

As you can see, each one of the bulb is turned on or off for n times which is the number of divisors. But still this cannot solve our problem for the time complexity is O(n2) too! What about printing the result to see whether there is a pattern? Let do it.

when n=40, the result is 1001000010000001000000001000000000010000 . And when n=60, the result is 100100001000000100000000100000000001000000000000100000000000 .

What do you see, guys? Yes, the mumber of each group which has only one 1 is an Arithmetic sequence. So we can get the final result without any toggling rounds. A half but passed solution is as follows,

public int bulbSwitch(int n) {
        int cnt = 0;
        for (int i = 3; n > 0; i += 2) {
            n -= i;
            cnt++;
        }
        return cnt;
}

That’s it.

The time complexity of the above code is O(n) and the code can pass the OJ’s test. But is this the most optimized one? No, of course. If you know more maths, the above code can be optimized to the time complexity of O(1) which means there is some formula to get the final result. Can you figure it out, buddy?

By the way, the Ultimate answer is SQRT(n).

面试程序题-二分查找（1）

一个数组，大小先减后增，请找到增减部分的分界点，要求算法时间复杂度O(logN)。

下面给出了一个递归实现的版本。

这个问题还可以让查找其中的某个元素，也是二分，思路一样。

#include <iostream>

#define MAX 13
using namespace std;
void findBreakpoint(int* a, int starti, int endi){
int i = (endi-starti)/2+starti;
if(starti==i){
cout<<i<<endl;
return;
}
if(a[i]<a[i+1]){
findBreakpoint(a, starti, i);
}else{
findBreakpoint(a, i+1, endi);
}
}

int main(){
int a[MAX] = {12, 11, 10, 8, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 20, 50};
findBreakpoint(a, 0, MAX-1);

return 0;
}

关于Java类的hashCode和equals方法

前面两篇文章中提到了利用哈希表的数据结构，如HashMap，HashSet等，这些数据结构利用对象的hashCode和equals函数来识别对象是否相同，原则如下：

hashCode不同的对象一定不同
hashCode相同的对象不一定相同

比方说HashMap，查找元素时，会先以key的hashCode来查找，如果找到对象，然后再以equals方法来判定是否相等，如果相等，才返回相应的value。

自定义数据结构做key时，需要成对的实现两个函数才可以正确的使用利用哈希表实现的数据结构。

Java中HashSet, TreeSet, LinkedHashSet区别

三个结构都实现了Set接口，不允许含有重复元素。

HashSet是用哈希表实现的，增删查的复杂度都是O（1），不能保证元素的顺序
TreeSet是用一个树形结构实现（红黑树），增删查的复杂度为O（log(n)），维护一个排序的Set，可以用 first(), last(), headSet(), tailSet()等获取最大最小的元素。
LinkedHashSet是用链表+哈希表实现，因为是Linked，所以可以保持插入的顺序，增删查复杂度都是O（1）
