好吧,这是char
类型的一个版本。请注意,它不会缩放。
#include "stdio.h"
#include "string.h"
void removeDuplicates(unsigned char *string)
{
unsigned char allCharacters [256] = { 0 };
int lookAt;
int writeTo = 0;
for(lookAt = 0; lookAt < strlen(string); lookAt++)
{
if(allCharacters[ string[lookAt] ] == 0)
{
allCharacters[ string[lookAt] ] = 1; // mark it seen
string[writeTo++] = string[lookAt]; // copy it
}
}
string[writeTo] = '\0';
}
int main()
{
char word[] = "abbbcdefbbbghasdddaiouasdf";
removeDuplicates(word);
printf("Word is now [%s]\n", word);
return 0;
}
以下是输出:
Word is now [abcdefghsiou]
那是你想要的吗?如果字母之间有空格,您可以修改该方法,但如果您使用int
、float
、double
或char *
作为类型,则此方法根本无法缩放。
编辑
我发布然后看到你的澄清,它是一个数组char *
。我会更新方法。
我希望这不是太多的代码。我调整了这个 QuickSort 算法,基本上给它添加了索引内存。该算法是 O(n log n),因为下面的 3 个步骤是相加的,这是其中 2 个步骤的最坏情况复杂度。
- 对字符串数组进行排序,但每次交换也应反映在索引数组中。在此阶段之后,第 i 个元素
originalIndices
保存已排序数组的第 i 个元素的原始索引。
- 删除排序数组中的重复元素,方法是将它们设置为
NULL
,并将索引值设置为elements
,这是可以达到的最高值。
- 对原始索引数组进行排序,并确保每个交换都反映在字符串数组中。这给了我们原始的字符串数组,除了重复的在最后而且它们都是
NULL
.
- 为了更好地衡量,我返回了新的元素计数。
