Leetcode: Single Number II

Given an array of integers, every element appears three times except for one. Find that single one.Note:Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

Analysis: 注意那个single one的个数可能比3少,也可能比3多。所以想法就是先sorting,然后从小到大遍历每个元素,前后元素相同时counter++,不相同时看counter是否为3,不是的话就返回前一个元素,是的话counter重新置1.  特殊情况在于single one在最后,所以如果循环执行完了函数都还没有return,说明single one是最后的元素。要注意,对于这种需要返回值的function, 不能所有的return都在if语句里

 1 public class Solution { 2     public int singleNumber(int[] A) { 3         java.util.Arrays.sort(A); 4         int count = 1; 5         int i; 6         for (i = 1; i < A.length; i++) { 7             if (A[i] == A[i-1]) { 8                 count++; 9             }10             else {11                 if (count != 3) return A[i-1];12                 count = 1;13             }14         }15         return A[i-1];16     }17 }
