295. Find Median from Data Stream
Description
The median is the middle value in an ordered integer list. If the size of the list is even, there is no middle value, and the median is the mean of the two middle values.
- For example, for
arr = [2,3,4]
, the median is3
. - For example, for
arr = [2,3]
, the median is(2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5
.
Implement the MedianFinder class:
MedianFinder()
initializes theMedianFinder
object.void addNum(int num)
adds the integernum
from the data stream to the data structure.double findMedian()
returns the median of all elements so far. Answers within10-5
of the actual answer will be accepted.
Example 1:
Input ["MedianFinder", "addNum", "addNum", "findMedian", "addNum", "findMedian"] [[], [1], [2], [], [3], []] Output [null, null, null, 1.5, null, 2.0] Explanation MedianFinder medianFinder = new MedianFinder(); medianFinder.addNum(1); // arr = [1] medianFinder.addNum(2); // arr = [1, 2] medianFinder.findMedian(); // return 1.5 (i.e., (1 + 2) / 2) medianFinder.addNum(3); // arr[1, 2, 3] medianFinder.findMedian(); // return 2.0
Constraints:
-105 <= num <= 105
- There will be at least one element in the data structure before calling
findMedian
. - At most
5 * 104
calls will be made toaddNum
andfindMedian
.
Follow up:
- If all integer numbers from the stream are in the range
[0, 100]
, how would you optimize your solution? - If
99%
of all integer numbers from the stream are in the range[0, 100]
, how would you optimize your solution?
Solutions
Solution 1: Min Heap and Max Heap (Priority Queue)
We can use two heaps to maintain all the elements, a min heap $\textit{minQ}$ and a max heap $\textit{maxQ}$, where the min heap $\textit{minQ}$ stores the larger half, and the max heap $\textit{maxQ}$ stores the smaller half.
When calling the addNum
method, we first add the element to the max heap $\textit{maxQ}$, then pop the top element of $\textit{maxQ}$ and add it to the min heap $\textit{minQ}$. If at this time the size difference between $\textit{minQ}$ and $\textit{maxQ}$ is greater than $1$, we pop the top element of $\textit{minQ}$ and add it to $\textit{maxQ}$. The time complexity is $O(\log n)$.
When calling the findMedian
method, if the size of $\textit{minQ}$ is equal to the size of $\textit{maxQ}$, it means the total number of elements is even, and we can return the average value of the top elements of $\textit{minQ}$ and $\textit{maxQ}$; otherwise, we return the top element of $\textit{minQ}$. The time complexity is $O(1)$.
The space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the number of elements.
