[英]What is the time complexity of String compareTo function in Java?
I have a String array String strs[] = {"flower", "flow", "flight"};
我有一个字符串数组String strs[] = {"flower", "flow", "flight"};
. .
I want to find the smallest and largest lexicographically string from the array.我想从数组中找到最小和最大的字典字符串。 This is what I did:这就是我所做的:
String first = strs[0], last = strs[0];
for (String str : strs) {
if (str.compareTo(first) < 0)
first = str;
if (str.compareTo(last) > 0)
last = str;
}
System.out.println("First : " + first + " Last : " + last);
Now I want find the time complexity of this algorithm.现在我想找到这个算法的时间复杂度。 I know it will be n * (time complexity of compareTo()
).我知道它将是 n * ( compareTo()
的时间复杂度)。 So, what is the time complexity of this algorithm?那么,这个算法的时间复杂度是多少呢?
public int compareTo(String anotherString) {
int len1 = value.length;
int len2 = anotherString.value.length;
int lim = Math.min(len1, len2);
char v1[] = value;
char v2[] = anotherString.value;
int k = 0;
while (k < lim) {
char c1 = v1[k];
char c2 = v2[k];
if (c1 != c2) {
return c1 - c2;
}
k++;
}
return len1 - len2;
}
This is the implementation of String#compareTo which leads to consider the complexity, in the worst case scenario (len1 = len2 = n), as O(n)这是 String#compareTo 的实现,它导致考虑复杂性,在最坏的情况下 (len1 = len2 = n),作为 O(n)
So the complexity of your algorithm would be O(nm) with n = number of strings in your array and m the max length among those strings lenghts.因此,您的算法的复杂度为 O(nm),其中 n = 数组中的字符串数,m 是这些字符串长度中的最大长度。
