You are given a data structure of employee information, which includes the employee's unique id, his importance value and his direct subordinates' id.
For example, employee 1 is the leader of employee 2, and employee 2 is the leader of employee 3. They have importance value 15, 10 and 5, respectively. Then employee 1 has a data structure like [1, 15, [2]], and employee 2 has [2, 10, [3]], and employee 3 has [3, 5, []]. Note that although employee 3 is also a subordinate of employee 1, the relationship is not direct.
Now given the employee information of a company, and an employee id, you need to return the total importance value of this employee and all his subordinates.
思路:
- 需要根据职员id找到职员信息,在list中查找时间复杂度很高,所以可以先把职员信息存储在hashmap中。
- 从要求的第一个职员开始查找,价值总和等于他的价值和他所有下属价值之和,所以total总价值加上他的价值之后,递归再查找他的下属的总价值。
- 当查找到某个职员没有下属时,这一条上下级线就走到底可以直接返回了。
public class EmployeeImportance690 {
class Employee {
// It's the unique id of each node;
// unique id of this employee
public int id;
// the importance value of this employee
public int importance;
// the id of direct subordinates
public List<Integer> subordinates;
};
public int getImportance(List<Employee> employees, int id) {
if (employees == null || employees.size() == 0) {
return 0;
}
Map<Integer, Employee> map = new HashMap<>();
for (Employee e : employees) {
map.put(e.id, e);
}
return helper(map, id);
}
private int helper(Map<Integer, Employee> map, int id) {
if (!map.containsKey(id)) {
return 0;
}
int total = map.get(id).importance;
for (int subId : map.get(id).subordinates) {
total += helper(map, subId);
}
return total;
}
}
