Question

A sequence of numbers is called a wiggle sequence if the differences between successive numbers strictly alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either positive or negative. A sequence with fewer than two elements is trivially a wiggle sequence.
For example, [1,7,4,9,2,5] is a wiggle sequence because the differences (6,-3,5,-7,3) are alternately positive and negative. In contrast, [1,4,7,2,5] and [1,7,4,5,5] are not wiggle sequences, the first because its first two differences are positive and the second because its last difference is zero.
Given a sequence of integers, return the length of the longest subsequence that is a wiggle sequence. A subsequence is obtained by deleting some number of elements (eventually, also zero) from the original sequence, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.

Examples:
Input: [1,7,4,9,2,5]
Output: 6
The entire sequence is a wiggle sequence.

Input: [1,17,5,10,13,15,10,5,16,8]
Output: 7
There are several subsequences that achieve this length. One is [1,17,10,13,10,16,8].

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
Output: 2

        public Data(int index) {

                    if ((second - first < 0 && third - second > 0) || (second - first > 0 && third - second < 0)) {
                        dp[i].count = Math.max(dp[i].count, 1 + dp[j].count);

                }
            }
            max = Math.max(max, dp[i].count);

Solution

動(dòng)態(tài)規(guī)劃 + 貪心。

自定義一個(gè)內(nèi)部類(lèi)，包含2個(gè)元素：pre指序列中當(dāng)前元素的前一個(gè)元素在nums中的下標(biāo)，count指以當(dāng)前元素結(jié)尾的序列的長(zhǎng)度。

dp[i].count表示以nums[i]結(jié)尾的序列的最長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)度。
初始化時(shí)，dp[0].pre = 0, count = 1;

狀態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)移方程：dp[i].count = Math.max(dp[i].count, 1 + dp[j].count);
注意可以轉(zhuǎn)移的條件即可。
