373. Find K Pairs with Smallest Sums

Solution idea

Binary Search 猜答案

  • KEY: 我们有two sorted input arrays,如果构造一个matrix,其中一个array作行,另一个array作列,每一个element是sum,我们可以得到一个行与列都是sorted matrix。

  • 一旦察觉到上述要素,剩下的解法基本上就与378. Kth Smallest Element in a Sorted Matrix一致: 从左下/右上角出发,计数小于等于当前元素的个数是否为k

  • 此题,我们不用显性地生成这个matrix,只需要操作nums1nums2 的index 来模拟 matrix traversal

Time complexity = $O((m+n)\log D + m*k) = O((m+n)\log D)$ where $m = $ length of nums1, $n = $ length of nums2, $D = $ difference between the max value in the sum matrix and the min value in the sum matrix.
