338. Counting Bits

Similar Question: LeetCode Question 191, LeetCode Question 231

Question:

Given a non negative integer number num. For every numbers i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ num calculate the number of 1’s in their binary representation and return them as an array.

Example 1:

Input: 2
Output: [0,1,1]

Example 2:

Input: 5
Output: [0,1,1,2,1,2]

Follow up:

  • It is very easy to come up with a solution with run time O(n*sizeof(integer)). But can you do it in linear time O(n) /possibly in a single pass?
  • Space complexity should be O(n).
  • Can you do it like a boss? Do it without using any builtin function like __builtin_popcount in c++ or in any other language.

Solution:

Using DP to find the previous number and add back to the current one. There are two cases: if the number is odd, then its number of 1 equals to [i/2] + 1. If i is even, the number of 1 equals to [i/2].

Using bit manipulation, since we know the result for previous number, the current one is remove the last 1 digit in binary and add it back. Similar idea at LeetCode Question 191.

Using DP:

class Solution {
    public int[] countBits(int num) {
        int[] dp = new int[num + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
            dp[i] = i % 2 == 0 ? dp[i/2] : dp[i/2] + 1;
        }
        return dp;
    }
}
class Solution {
    public int[] countBits(int num) {
        int[] dp = new int[num + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
            dp[i] = dp[i >> 1] + (i & 1);
        }
        return dp;
    }
}

Using Bit Manipulation:

class Solution {
    public int[] countBits(int num) {
        int[] dp = new int[num + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
            // Remove the last bits that is 1, get the number of one and add back
            dp[i] = dp[i & (i-1)] + 1;
        }
        return dp;
    }
}
