原题:

Given an integer array with even length, where different numbers in this array represent different kinds of candies. Each number means one candy of the corresponding kind. You need to distribute these candies equally in number to brother and sister. Return the maximum number of kinds of candies the sister could gain.

Example 1:

Input: candies = [1,1,2,2,3,3]Output: 3Explanation:There are three different kinds of candies (1, 2 and 3), and two candies for each kind.Optimal distribution: The sister has candies [1,2,3] and the brother has candies [1,2,3], too. The sister has three different kinds of candies. 

Example 2:

Input: candies = [1,1,2,3]Output: 2Explanation: For example, the sister has candies [2,3] and the brother has candies [1,1]. The sister has two different kinds of candies, the brother has only one kind of candies. 
大意就是,每个数字代表不同的种类,哥哥和妹妹将蜡烛分一半,看妹妹能拿到多少种不同的蜡烛。

代码如下:

int distributeCandies(int* candies, int candiesSize) {    int cmp(const int *a,const int *b)    {        return *(int*)a-*(int*)b;    }    qsort(candies,candiesSize,sizeof(int),cmp);    int result=1;    int flag=*(candies);    for(int n=0;n<candiesSize;n++)    {        if(flag!=*(candies+n))        {            flag=*(candies+n);            result++;        }    }    if(result>candiesSize/2)        return candiesSize/2;    return result;}
思路如下,先进行排序,排序完成后检测不同,小于size/2,肯定就是拿不同的,大于或者等于size/2,也就最多拿到一半的不同。
