17. Letter Combinations of a Phone Number

Given a digit string, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent.

A mapping of digit to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below.

Input:Digit string "23"
Output: ["ad", "ae", "af", "bd", "be", "bf", "cd", "ce", "cf"].

Note:
Although the above answer is in lexicographical order, your answer could be in any order you want.

实现题,自底向上或自顶向下递归把所有可能加到集合里。

public class Solution {
  String[] dict = new String[]{"", "", "abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno", "pqrs", "tuv", "wxyz"};  

  public List<String> letterCombinations(String digits) {
    if (digits.isEmpty()) {
      return new ArrayList<>();
    }
    return helper(digits, 0);
  }

  public List<String> helper(String digits, int index) {
    if (index == digits.length()) {
      List<String> ret = new ArrayList<>();
      ret.add("");
      return ret;
    }
    char c = digits.charAt(index);
    String candidates = dict[c - '0'];
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
    for (char a : candidates.toCharArray()) {
      for (String s : helper(digits, index + 1)) {
        list.add(a + s);
      }
    }
    return list;
  }
}
