Java在集合中查找公共元素

我需要使用

在数组集合中找到常用元素
public Comparable[] findCommonElements(Object[] collection)

作为我的算法的签名,它应该接受一组数组(不同长度和任何类型)作为输入,并且不大于O(knlogn)。

我想对数组进行快速排序(??)然后对公共元素进行二进制搜索。这应该让我在O(knlogn),但我不是100%确定效率。

我迷失了如何让二进制搜索来搜索集合然后打印公共元素。我知道我不能用静态方法调用common,但是我把它留给了我试过的东西。我知道我的时间会更好地学习如何使用数组列表和哈希集,但我应该使用已经涵盖的概念,但这些都没有。

代码:

public class CommonElements2<T extends Comparable<T>>
{
   Comparable[] tempArr;
   Comparable[] queryArray;
   Comparable[] common = new Comparable[queryArray.length];
   int counter = 0;
/* 
sort algorithm goes here
*/   
   public Comparable[] findCommonElements(Object[] collections)
   {
      queryArray = ((Comparable[])collections[0]);
      boolean found = false;

      for(int x = 0; x < queryArray.length; ++x)
      {
         for(int y = 1; y < collections.length; ++y)
         {
            tempArr = (Comparable[])collections[y];
            found = binarySearch(tempArr, 0, tempArr.length, queryArray[x]);

            if(!found)
            {
               break;
            }
            if(found)
            {
               common[counter] = queryArray[x];
               ++counter;
            }  
         } //end y for loop
      } // end x for loop
      return common;      
   } // end findCommonElements

   public boolean binarySearch(Comparable[] arr, int first, int last, Object searchItem)
   {
      boolean found;
      int mid = (first + (last - first)) /2;

      if(first > last)
         return false;

      int value = ((Comparable)searchItem).compareTo(arr[mid]);

      if(value < 0)
         value = -1;

      switch(value)
      {
         case 0:
            found = true;
            break;
         case -1:
            found = binarySearch(arr, first, mid - 1, searchItem);
            break;
         default:
            found = binarySearch(arr, mid + 1, last, searchItem);
            break;
      }
      return found;
   } //end bianry search

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
        Object [] collections = new Object[4];
        collections[0] = new Integer[]{3, 4, 9, 8, 12, 15, 7, 13};
    collections[1] = new Integer[]{15,24,50,12,3,9};
    collections[2] = new Integer[]{78,65,24,13,9,3,12};
    collections[3] = new Integer[]{15,78,14,3,2,9,44,12};

        CommonElements2<Integer> one = new CommonElements2<Integer>();
        System.out.println(one.findCommonElements(collections));

   }
} // end class

根据我的评论,这是一个可以完成工作的算法:

  1. 分别对所有阵列进行排序O(knlogn)。
  2. 从数组数组中取两个数组A1和A2。
  3. 浏览A1的每个项目,并使用二分搜索O(nlogn)搜索元素是否在A2中。
  4. 将A1和A2中的公共元素存储到数组B中。
  5. 从数组数组中取另一个数组作为A2,使用数组B作为A1。
  6. 转到第3步并重复此过程,直到您使用了阵列数组O(knlogn)中的所有数组。
  7. 这里提出了算法的伪代码(看起来像Java代码,但根本不是 Java代码):

    public Comparable[] findCommonElements(Object[] collections) {
        //1.
        for each collection in collections
            Comparable[] compCollection = (Comparable[])collection
            sort(compCollection)
        end for
        //2.
        Comparable[] a1 = (Comparable[])collections[0]
        //assume MAX is a really high value like 10000
        //the best value for MAX would be the max length of the arrays in collections
        Comparable[] b = new Comparable[MAX]
        int bSize = 0
        //6.
        for i = 1 to collections.length - 1
            //5.
            Comparable[] a2 = (Comparable[])collections[i]
            //3.
            for each Comparable comp in a1
                int index = binarySearch(comp, a2)
                if index >= 0 then
                    //4.
                    add a2[index] into b
                    bSize = bSize + 1
                end if
            end for
            //5.
            a1 = b
            b = new Comparable[MAX]
            bSize = 0
        end for
        return b
    }
