Scramble String
Given a string s1, we may represent it as a binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.
Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great"
:
great / \ gr eat / \ / \ g r e at / \ a t
To scramble the string, we may choose any non-leaf node and swap its two children.
For example, if we choose the node "gr"
and swap its two children, it produces a scrambled string "rgeat"
.
rgeat / \ rg eat / \ / \ r g e at / \ a t
We say that "rgeat"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Similarly, if we continue to swap the children of nodes "eat"
and "at"
, it produces a scrambled string "rgtae"
.
rgtae / \ rg tae / \ / \ r g ta e / \ t a
We say that "rgtae"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Given two strings s1 and s2 of the same length, determine if s2 is a scrambled string of s1.
注:Google 面试题。
分析: 从上往下考虑,比然存在一个位置,使得两个字符串分成相同的两个子串,他们位置前后相同或者前后相反。如此递归即可。能递归也就能动态规划记住子问题的解。但是本题没有使用动态规划也很快AC.
bool hasSameAlpha(string &s1, string &s2) { int v = 0; for(int i = 0; i < s1.size(); ++i) v ^= (s1[i] ^ s2[i]); return v == 0; } class Solution { public: bool isScramble(string s1, string s2) { if(s1.size() != s2.size()) return false; if(s1 == s2) return true; if(!hasSameAlpha(s1, s2)) return false; int n = s1.size(); for(int i = 1; i < n; ++i) { string s11 = s1.substr(0, i); string s12 = s1.substr(i); string s21 = s2.substr(0, n-i); string s22 = s2.substr(n-i); if((isScramble(s11, s2.substr(0, i)) && isScramble(s12, s2.substr(i))) || (isScramble(s11, s22) && isScramble(s12, s21))) return true; } return false; } };
