[Leetcode] Reverse Bits 反转位

Reverse Bits

Reverse bits of a given 32 bits unsigned integer.

For example, given input 43261596 (represented in binary as 00000010100101000001111010011100), return 964176192 (represented in binary as 00111001011110000010100101000000).

移位法

复杂度

时间 O(1) 空间 O(1)

思路

最简单的做法，原数不断右移取出最低位，赋给新数的最低位后新数再不断左移。

代码

public class Solution {
    // you need treat n as an unsigned value
    public int reverseBits(int n) {
        int res = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < 32; i++, n >>= 1){
            res = res << 1 | (n & 1);
        }
        return res;
    }
}

分段相或法

复杂度

时间 O(1) 空间 O(1)

思路

Java标准的Integer.reverse()源码。

代码

public class Solution {
    // you need treat n as an unsigned value
    public int reverseBits(int i) {
        i = (i & 0x55555555) << 1 | (i >>> 1) & 0x55555555;
        i = (i & 0x33333333) << 2 | (i >>> 2) & 0x33333333;
        i = (i & 0x0f0f0f0f) << 4 | (i >>> 4) & 0x0f0f0f0f;
        i = (i << 24) | ((i & 0xff00) << 8) | ((i >>> 8) & 0xff00) | (i >>> 24);
        return i;
    }
}

Q：如果该方法被大量调用，或者用于处理超大数据（Bulk data）时有什么优化方法？
A：这其实才是这道题的精髓，考察的大规模数据时算法最基本的优化方法。其实道理很简单，反复要用到的东西记下来就行了，所以我们用Map记录之前反转过的数字和结果。更好的优化方法是将其按照Byte分成4段存储，节省空间。参见这个帖子。

// cache
private final Map<Byte, Integer> cache = new HashMap<Byte, Integer>();
public int reverseBits(int n) {
    byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) // convert int into 4 bytes
        bytes[i] = (byte)((n >>> 8*i) & 0xFF);
    int result = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        result += reverseByte(bytes[i]); // reverse per byte
        if (i < 3)
            result <<= 8;
    }
    return result;
}

private int reverseByte(byte b) {
    Integer value = cache.get(b); // first look up from cache
    if (value != null)
        return value;
    value = 0;
    // reverse by bit
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
        value += ((b >>> i) & 1);
        if (i < 7)
            value <<= 1;
    }
    cache.put(b, value);
    return value;
}
