[leetcode] H-Index (Hash Table)

Given an array of citations (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher's h-index.

According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: "A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each."

For example, given citations = [3, 0, 6, 1, 5], which means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively. Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, his h-index is 3.

Note: If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.

public int hIndex(int[] citations) {
int[] tmp = new int[citations.length + 1];
for (int i = 0; i < citations.length; i++) {
if (citations[i] >= citations.length) {
tmp[citations.length]++;
} else {
tmp[citations[i]]++;
}
}
int sum = 0;
for (int i = tmp.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
sum += tmp[i];
if (sum >= i) {
return i;
}
}
return 0;
}
