Number of Islands

#DFS #UnionFind

Question

Given a boolean 2D matrix, find the number of islands.

Notice

0 is represented as the sea, 1 is represented as the island. If two 1 is adjacent, we consider them in the same island. We only consider up/down/left/right adjacent.

Example Given graph:

[
  [1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 1, 0, 0, 1],
  [0, 0, 0, 1, 1],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
]

return 3.

思路一: 此题可以考虑用Union Find,不过更简单的是用BFS或者DFS。 其中DFS结合mark的方法最巧妙简单,n^2循环,扫描grid[i][j], 如果是island的,即grid[i][j] == true,则计数加一(ans++),并对四个方向进行DFS查找,并将所有属于那坐岛屿的点mark为非岛屿。这样扫描过的地方全部会变成非岛屿,而岛屿的数量已被记录。

思路二: Union Find 利用Union Find的find和union操作,对岛屿进行合并计数。因为UnionFind结构一般来说是一维的

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
-----------------
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 |

表达了如下的连通结构

1 - 2    4
| /
3

因此可以转换二维矩阵坐标为一维数字,M N 的矩阵中`(i,j) -> i N + j`。

  1. 建立UnionFind的parent[] (或者 parent hashmap),初始化各个parent[i * N + j] = i * N + j,如果grid[i][j] == true,则岛屿计数count++

  2. 之后再对矩阵遍历一次,当遇到岛屿时,则要检查上下左右四个方向的邻近点,如果也是岛屿则合并,并且count--;

Union Find结构可以用Path Compression和Weighted Union进行优化。

Solution

DFS (3ms AC)

public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param grid a boolean 2D matrix
     * @return an integer
     */
    public int numIslands(boolean[][] grid) {
        m = grid.length;
        if (m == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        n = grid[0].length;
        if (n == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        int nums = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                if (grid[i][j] == false) {
                    continue;
                }
                nums++;
                dfs(grid, i, j);
            }
        }
        return nums;
    }

    private void dfs(boolean[][] grid, int i, int j) {
        if (i < 0 || i >= m || j < 0 || j >= n) {
            return;
        }
        if (grid[i][j] == true) {
            grid[i][j] = false;
            dfs(grid, i - 1, j);
            dfs(grid, i + 1, j);
            dfs(grid, i, j - 1);
            dfs(grid, i, j + 1);
        }
    }

    private int m, n;
}

DFS (same, just with directional 2D array)

class Solution {
    int[][] dirs = new int[][]{{1, 0}, {-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {0, -1}};
    public int numIslands(char[][] grid) {
        int m = grid.length;
        if (m == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        int n = grid[0].length;
        int result = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                if (grid[i][j] == '1') {
                    dfs(grid, i, j, m, n);
                    result++;
                }
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
    public void dfs(char[][] grid, int i, int j, int m, int n) {
        if (i < 0 || i > m - 1 || j < 0 || j > n - 1 || grid[i][j] != '1') {
            return;
        }
        grid[i][j] = '0';
        for (int[] dir : dirs) {
            dfs(grid, i + dir[0], j + dir[1], m, n);
        }
    }
}
