Let the Balloon Rise----hdu-1004
Problem Description
Contest time again! How excited it is to see balloons floating around. But to tell you a secret, the judges' favorite time is guessing the most popular problem. When the contest is over, they will count the balloons of each color and find the result.
This year, they decide to leave this lovely job to you.
Input
Input contains multiple test cases. Each test case starts with a number N (0 < N <= 1000) -- the total number of balloons distributed. The next N lines contain one color each. The color of a balloon is a string of up to 15 lower-case letters.
A test case with N = 0 terminates the input and this test case is not to be processed.
Output
For each case, print the color of balloon for the most popular problem on a single line. It is guaranteed that there is a unique solution for each test case.
Sample Input
5
green
red
blue
red
red
3
pink
orange
pink
0
Sample Output
red
pink
问题简述
存在多种颜色的气球，第一行输入“N”代表气球的数量，余下N行每输入由“1~15”个字母组成的颜色。然后输出最受欢迎的颜色，即出现次数最多的颜色。当“N=0”时终止程序。
程序分析
此题为map函数的入门水题，推荐用map函数做。
有关map函数知识简略如下：
map函数为key_value型。例如：map<string,int>choose 其中key对应string，value对应int。
1. map最基本的构造函数；
map<string , int >mapstring; map<int ,string >mapint;
map<sring, char>mapstring; map< char ,string>mapchar;
map<char ,int>mapchar; map<int ,char >mapint；
2. map添加数据；
map<int ,string> maplive;
1.maplive.insert(pair<int,string>(102,"aclive"));
2.maplive.insert(map<int,string>::value_type(321,"hai"));
3, maplive[112]="April";//map中最简单最常用的插入添加！
3，map中元素的查找：
find()函数返回一个迭代器指向键值为key的元素，如果没找到就返回指向map尾部的迭代器。
map<int ,string >::iterator l_it;;
l_it=maplive.find(112);
if(l_it==maplive.end())
cout<<"we do not find 112"<<endl;
else cout<<"wo find 112"<<endl;
4,map中元素的删除：
如果删除112；
map<int ,string >::iterator l_it;;
l_it=maplive.find(112);
if(l_it==maplive.end())
cout<<"we do not find 112"<<endl;
else maplive.erase(l_it); //delete 112;
5,map中 swap的用法：
Map中的swap不是一个容器中的元素交换，而是两个容器交换；
For example：
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
map <int, int> m1, m2, m3;
map <int, int>::iterator m1_Iter;
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 1, 10 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 2, 20 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 3, 30 ) );
m2.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 10, 100 ) );
m2.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 20, 200 ) );
m3.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 30, 300 ) );
cout << "The original map m1 is:";
for ( m1_Iter = m1.begin( ); m1_Iter != m1.end( ); m1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << m1_Iter->second;
cout << "." << endl;
// This is the member function version of swap
//m2 is said to be the argument map; m1 the target map
m1.swap( m2 );
cout << "After swapping with m2, map m1 is:";
for ( m1_Iter = m1.begin( ); m1_Iter != m1.end( ); m1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << m1_Iter -> second;
cout << "." << endl;
cout << "After swapping with m2, map m2 is:";
for ( m1_Iter = m2.begin( ); m1_Iter != m2.end( ); m1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << m1_Iter -> second;
cout << "." << endl;
// This is the specialized template version of swap
swap( m1, m3 );
cout << "After swapping with m3, map m1 is:";
for ( m1_Iter = m1.begin( ); m1_Iter != m1.end( ); m1_Iter++ )
cout << " " << m1_Iter -> second;
cout << "." << endl;
}
6.map的sort问题：
Map中的元素是自动按key升序排序,所以不能对map用sort函数：
For example：
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
map <int, int> m1;
map <int, int>::iterator m1_Iter;
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 1, 20 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 4, 40 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 3, 60 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 2, 50 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 6, 40 ) );
m1.insert ( pair <int, int> ( 7, 30 ) );
cout << "The original map m1 is:"<<endl;
for ( m1_Iter = m1.begin( ); m1_Iter != m1.end( ); m1_Iter++ )
cout << m1_Iter->first<<" "<<m1_Iter->second<<endl;
}
The original map m1 is:
1 20
2 50
3 60
4 40
6 40
7 30
请按任意键继续. . .
7， map的基本操作函数：
C++ Maps是一种关联式容器，包含“关键字/值”对
begin() 返回指向map头部的迭代器
clear(） 删除所有元素
count() 返回指定元素出现的次数
empty() 如果map为空则返回true
end() 返回指向map末尾的迭代器
equal_range() 返回特殊条目的迭代器对
erase() 删除一个元素
find() 查找一个元素
get_allocator() 返回map的配置器
insert() 插入元素
key_comp() 返回比较元素key的函数
lower_bound() 返回键值>=给定元素的第一个位置
max_size() 返回可以容纳的最大元素个数
rbegin() 返回一个指向map尾部的逆向迭代器
rend() 返回一个指向map头部的逆向迭代器
size() 返回map中元素的个数
swap() 交换两个map
upper_bound() 返回键值>给定元素的第一个位置
value_comp() 返回比较元素value的函数
AC程序如下：
//hdu-1004
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<map>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string color, maxcolor;
int N;
map<string, int>choose;//声明一个map容器choose
while (cin >> N&&N!=0)//当N=0时结束
{
int max = 0;
choose.clear();//删除choose中所以元素
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
cin >> color;
choose[color]++;//若key不同，则创建一个新的map元素。若key值相同，则该key元素的value加一
}
map<string, int>::iterator G;//声明一个迭代器G
for (G = choose.begin(); G != choose.end(); G++)
{
if ((G->second) > max)
{
max = (G->second);
maxcolor = (G->first);
}
}
cout << maxcolor << endl;
}
return 0;
}
