Given an integer array with even length, where different numbers in this array represent different kinds of candies. Each number means one candy of the corresponding kind. You need to distribute these candies equally in number to brother and sister. Return the maximum number of kinds of candies the sister could gain.
示例:
Output: 3
Explanation:
There are three different kinds of candies (1, 2 and 3), and two candies for each kind.
Optimal distribution: The sister has candies [1,2,3] and the brother has candies [1,2,3], too.
The sister has three different kinds of candies.
Input: candies = [1,1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: For example, the sister has candies [2,3] and the brother has candies [1,1].
The sister has two different kinds of candies, the brother has only one kind of candies.
就是看数组里面的不重复元素有多少个,然后和总数的一半对比就行,
唯一是set()的用法,注意
python的set和其他语言类似, 是一个无序不重复元素集, 基本功能包括关系测试和消除重复元素. 集合对象还支持union(联合), intersection(交), difference(差)和sysmmetric difference(对称差集)等数学运算.
sets 支持 x in set, len(set),和 for x in set。作为一个无序的集合,sets不记录元素位置或者插入点。因此,sets不支持 indexing, slicing, 或其它类序列(sequence-like)的操作。
代码:
def distributeCandies(self, candies):
"""
:type candies: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
return min(len(candies)/2,len(set(candies)))
