LeetCode 263 + 264 Ugly Number I II

LIKE CODING: LeetCode [264] Ugly Number II
Write a program to find the n-th ugly number.
Ugly numbers are positive numbers whose prime factors only include 2, 3, 5. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 is the sequence of the first 10 ugly numbers.
Note that 1 is typically treated as an ugly number.
  1. The naive approach is to call isUgly for every number until you reach the nth one. Most numbers are not ugly. Try to focus your effort on generating only the ugly ones.
  2. An ugly number must be multiplied by either 2, 3, or 5 from a smaller ugly number.
  3. The key is how to maintain the order of the ugly numbers. Try a similar approach of merging from three sorted lists: L1, L2, and L3.
  4. Assume you have Uk, the kth ugly number. Then Uk+1 must be Min(L1 * 2, L2 * 3, L3 * 5).
    int nthUglyNumber(int n) {
        if(n<1) return 0;
        deque<double> vec2, vec3, vec5;
        vec2.push_back(1);
        for(int i=0; i<n; ++i){
           double v2 = vec2.empty()?LLONG_MAX:vec2.front();
           double v3 = vec3.empty()?LLONG_MAX:vec3.front();
           double v5 = vec5.empty()?LLONG_MAX:vec5.front();
           double v = min(v2, min(v3, v5));
           if(i==n-1) return v;
           if(v==v2){
               vec2.pop_front();
               vec2.push_back(v*2);
               vec3.push_back(v*3);
               vec5.push_back(v*5);
           }else if(v==v3){
               vec3.pop_front();
               vec3.push_back(v*3);
               vec5.push_back(v*5);              
           }else{
               vec5.pop_front();
               vec5.push_back(v*5);
           }
        }

The ugly-number sequence is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, … because every number can only be divided by 2, 3, 5, one way to look at the sequence is to split the sequence to three groups as below:
(1) 1×2, 2×2, 3×2, 4×2, 5×2, …
(2) 1×3, 2×3, 3×3, 4×3, 5×3, …
(3) 1×5, 2×5, 3×5, 4×5, 5×5, …
We can find that every subsequence is the ugly-sequence itself (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …) multiply 2, 3, 5.
Then we use similar merge method as merge sort, to get every ugly number from the three subsequence.
Every step we choose the smallest one, and move one step after,including nums with same value.
public int nthUglyNumber(int n) { int[] ugly = new int[n]; ugly[0] = 1; int index2 = 0, index3 = 0, index5 = 0; int factor2 = 2, factor3 = 3, factor5 = 5; for(int i=1;i<n;i++){ int min = Math.min(Math.min(factor2,factor3),factor5); ugly[i] = min; if(factor2 == min) factor2 = 2*ugly[++index2]; if(factor3 == min) factor3 = 3*ugly[++index3]; if(factor5 == min) factor5 = 5*ugly[++index5]; } return ugly[n-1]; }

This can be easily expanded if there are multiple primes.
    public int nthUglyNumber(int n) {
        int[] uglyNumber = new int[n];
        int[] index = new int[3]; // respectively for 2,3,5
        int[] factor = {2, 3, 5}; // respectively for 2,3,5
        uglyNumber[0] = 1;
        for(int i = 1; i < n; i++){
            int min = Math.min(Math.min(factor[0], factor[1]), factor[2]);
            uglyNumber[i] = min;
            if(min == factor[0]) factor[0] = 2 * uglyNumber[++index[0]];
            if(min == factor[1]) factor[1] = 3 * uglyNumber[++index[1]];
            if(min == factor[2]) factor[2] = 5 * uglyNumber[++index[2]];           
        }

Space Optimization:
Using 3 Queues:
https://leetcode.com/discuss/52710/java-solution-with-three-queues
public int nthUglyNumber(int n) { if (n < 1) return 0; Queue<Long> queue2 = new LinkedList<>(); Queue<Long> queue3 = new LinkedList<>(); Queue<Long> queue5 = new LinkedList<>(); queue2.add(1l); long val = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { long v2 = queue2.isEmpty() ? Long.MAX_VALUE : queue2.peek(); long v3 = queue3.isEmpty() ? Long.MAX_VALUE : queue3.peek(); long v5 = queue5.isEmpty() ? Long.MAX_VALUE : queue5.peek(); val = Math.min(v2, Math.min(v3, v5)); if (val == v2) { queue2.poll(); queue2.add(val*2); queue3.add(val*3); } else if (val == v3) { queue3.poll(); queue3.add(val*3); } else queue5.poll(); queue5.add(val*5); } return (int)val; }
X. TreeSet
I think to use TreeSet other than PriorityQueue is easier as you don't need to worry about duplicates. Time complexity is same.

    public int nthUglyNumber(int n) {
        TreeSet<Long> ans = new TreeSet<>();
        ans.add(1L);
        for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; ++i) {
            long first = ans.pollFirst();
            ans.add(first * 2);
            ans.add(first * 3);
            ans.add(first * 5);
        }
        return ans.first().intValue();
    }

X. PriorityQueue
https://discuss.leetcode.com/topic/25088/java-solution-using-priorityqueue
Different way, but not efficient.
public int nthUglyNumber(int n) { if(n==1) return 1; PriorityQueue<Long> q = new PriorityQueue(); q.add(1l); for(long i=1; i<n; i++) { long tmp = q.poll(); while(!q.isEmpty() && q.peek()==tmp) tmp = q.poll(); q.add(tmp*2); q.add(tmp*3); q.add(tmp*5); } return q.poll().intValue(); }

8:      vector<int> uglys(1,1);  
9:      vector<int> indexes(factors.size(), 0);  
10:      while(uglys.size() < n) {  
11:        int min_v = INT_MAX;  
12:        int min_index = 0;  
13:        for(int k =0; k< factors.size(); k++) {  
14:          int temp = uglys[indexes[k]] * factors[k];  
15:          if(temp < min_v) {  
16:            min_v = temp;  
17:            min_index = k;  
18:          }  
19:        }  
20:        indexes[min_index]++;  
21:        // need to avoid duplicate ugly number  
22:        if(uglys[uglys.size()-1] != min_v) {  
23:          uglys.push_back(min_v);  
24:         }  
25:      }  
26:      return uglys[n-1];  
27:    }
从空间的优化来说，没有必要用一个uglys的数组保存所有的ugly number，尤其是当n是个非常大的数字。对于indexes指针扫过的ugly number，都可以丢掉了
https://leetcode.com/discuss/53009/interesting-bounds-about-this-problem
  1. Actually, the input space is much smaller than expected if we insist an int range output. When input n is greater than 1691, the output overflows the int range.
  2. Another way to view this bound is that all ugly numbers must be in the form 2^a*3^b*5^c. Since we have log2(Integer.MAX_VALUE)=a<31, log3(Integer.MAX_VALUE)=b<20 andlog5(Integer.MAX_VALUE)=c<14, the combination allowed is surely under31*20*14~=8400.
LeetCode [263] Ugly Number
Write a program to check whether a given number is an ugly number.
Ugly numbers are positive numbers whose prime factors only include 2, 3, 5. For example, 6, 8 are ugly while 14 is not ugly since it includes another prime factor 7.

https://github.com/careercup/CtCI-6th-Edition/tree/master/Java/Ch%2017.%20Hard/Q17_09_Kth_Multiple
Design an algorithm to find the kth number such that the only prime factors are 3, 5, and 7. Note that 3, 5, and 7 do not have to be factors, but it should bot have any other prime factors. For example, the first several multiples would be (in order) 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21

If we separated the list from the beginning by the constant factors, then we'd only need to check the first of
the multiples of 3, 5 and 7. All subsequent elements would be bigger.
