package array; /** * Created by gouthamvidyapradhan on 12/12/2017. * Given an array of citations (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to * compute the researcher's h-index. According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: "A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each." For example, given citations = [3, 0, 6, 1, 5], which 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, his h-index is 3. Note: If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index. Solution O(n) Replace all the citations which are greater than n with n, the result will not change with this operation. Maintain a count array with count of each citations. Sum up all the counts from n -> 0 and store this in a array S. Value in array index Si is number of papers having citations at least i. The first value at index i, from right to left in array S which has i <= Si is the answer. */ public class HIndex { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{ int[] A = {3, 0, 6, 1, 5}; System.out.println(new HIndex().hIndex(A)); } public int hIndex(int[] citations) { int n = citations.length; int[] count = new int[n + 1]; int[] S = new int[n + 1]; for(int i = 0; i < citations.length; i ++){ if(citations[i] > n){ citations[i] = n; } } for (int citation : citations) { count[citation]++; } S[n] = count[n]; for(int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i --){ S[i] = count[i] + S[i + 1]; } for(int i = n; i >= 0; i--){ if(i <= S[i]){ return i; } } return 0; } }
