Given a non-negative integer, you could swap two digits at most once to get the maximum valued number. Return the maximum valued number you could get.

Example 1:

Input: 2736

Output: 7236

Explanation: Swap the number 2 and the number 7.

Example 2:

Input: 9973

Output: 9973

Explanation: No swap.

Solution: 用buckets[]记录 0~9最后出现的位置。Loop through the num array from left to right. For each position, we check whether there exists a larger digit in this num (start from 9 to current digit). We also need to make sure the position of this larger digit is behind the current one. If we find it, simply swap these two digits and return the result. O(n)

    public int maximumSwap(int num) {
        char[] digits = Integer.toString(num).toCharArray();

        int[] buckets = new int[10];
        for (int i = 0; i < digits.length; i++) {
            buckets[digits[i] - '0'] = i;
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < digits.length; i++) {
            for (int k = 9; k > digits[i] - '0'; k--) {
                if (buckets[k] > i) {
                    char tmp = digits[i];
                    digits[i] = digits[buckets[k]];
                    digits[buckets[k]] = tmp;
                    return Integer.valueOf(new String(digits));
                }
            }
        }

        return num;
    }
