Given a stream of integers. The elements arrive one by one. Write code to
find the median of the most recent k elements. You can assume k is odd.
e.g., when k=3,
输入: 1,3,5,7,9,11 ...
输出: 3,5, 7,9 ...
[1,3,5] --> [3]
[3,5,7] --> [5]
[5,7,9] --> [7]
[7,9,11]--> [9]

用indexable skiplist可以做到每次取median是O(lgk)

用indexed priority_queue(2个,上半段+下半段)和一个counter(mod k)
(counter+1)%k可以得到expired的那个数的index,然后用
indexed_pq.update(idx,new_val)
把expired掉的那个数换成最新的数new_val

这个题目建议用红黑树做可能最快捷有效。红黑树每一次插入,删除都是log(k),求平
均值非常简单,就是根部的那个节点。所以总的计算量是O(nlog(k))。
以下是c/c++代码(需要修改数组,以便一个一个输入)。

I doubt RB tree will always give you the median at the root.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%E2%80%93black_tree
"The balancing of the tree is not perfect but it is good enough to allow it
to guarantee searching in O(log n) time"
You need a perfectly balanced binary search tree to get the median at the ro
ot.

谢谢。有没有更intuitive的解法?
给了2个暗示:1)k很小(<=5); 2)用最基本的逻辑和数据结构,不要用stack/queue/
hash等
ADT.
我当时就说,如果k=3,那干脆直接看3个值大小,需要compare至多3次找到median,
complexity就是O(n),where n is the size of stream.面试官说可以,让我写code,
要求考虑全所有的cases.不知道他想考察考哪方面

vector median(vector & v, int k) {
vector::iterator iter;
vector median;
iter=v.begin();
while((iter+k-1)!=v.end()) {
vector temp(iter,iter+k);
sort(temp.begin(),temp.end());
median.push_back(temp[k/2]);
iter++;
}

这个比较简单,也没有用stack,queue,hash.

既然k很小,直接存到circular array里面,每次都把整个array扫一边,取出中数。

Conclusions
Well written array implementations are preferable for small windows. Judging
from similar problems, the breakpoint is probably for window sizes of
around 20-30. For larger window sizes the double heap algorithm is simple
and has guaranteed performance. There may be better alternatives but
establishing them will require significant amounts of testing and analysis.
