LeetCode--To Lower Case && Remove Outermost Parentheses (Easy)
709. To Lower Case(Easy)#
Implement function ToLowerCase() that has a string parameter str, and returns the same string in lowercase.
Example 1:
Input: "Hello"
Output: "hello"
Example 2:
Input: "here"
Output: "here"
Example 3:
Input: "LOVELY"
Output: "lovely"
Note:
there are many other characters,such as '&".
solution##
class Solution {
public String toLowerCase(String str) {
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
{
if ('a' <= str.charAt(i) && str.charAt(i) <='z')
s.append(str.charAt(i));
else if ('A' <= str.charAt(i) && str.charAt(i) <='Z')
s.append((char)(str.charAt(i) - 'A' + 'a'));
else
s.append(str.charAt(i));
}
return s.toString();
}
}
总结##
此题思路很简单,遍历给定字符串,如果字母为大写字母,则变为小写字母后用一个字符串变量存起来,否则直接将小写字母或其他字符存起来。
Notes:
1.用StringBuilder类更省空间;
2.两个字符相加减得到的结果为int型数值,要转为字符必须用(char)强制转换,比如char c = (char)97,得到的结果为c=a;
3.字符拼接一般用StringBuilder类的append()方法;
1021. Remove Outermost Parentheses (Easy)#
A valid parentheses string is either empty (""), "(" + A + ")", or A + B, where A and B are valid parentheses strings, and + represents string concatenation. For example, "", "()", "(())()", and "(()(()))" are all valid parentheses strings.
A valid parentheses string S is primitive if it is nonempty, and there does not exist a way to split it into S = A+B, with A and B nonempty valid parentheses strings.
Given a valid parentheses string S, consider its primitive decomposition: S = P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_k, where P_i are primitive valid parentheses strings.
Return S after removing the outermost parentheses of every primitive string in the primitive decomposition of S.
Example 1:
Input: "(()())(())"
Output: "()()()"
Explanation:
The input string is "(()())(())", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" = "()()()".
Example 2:
Input: "(()())(())(()(()))"
Output: "()()()()(())"
Explanation:
The input string is "(()())(())(()(()))", with primitive decomposition "(()())" + "(())" + "(()(()))".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "()()" + "()" + "()(())" = "()()()()(())".
Example 3:
Input: "()()"
Output: ""
Explanation:
The input string is "()()", with primitive decomposition "()" + "()".
After removing outer parentheses of each part, this is "" + "" = "".
Note:
S.length <= 10000
S[i] is "(" or ")"
S is a valid parentheses string
solution##
class Solution {
public String removeOuterParentheses(String S) {
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
int k = 0;
for (int i=0; i<S.length(); i++)
{
if (S.charAt(i) == '(')
{
if (k > 0)
s.append('(');
k++;
}
if (S.charAt(i) == ')')
{
k--;
if (k > 0)
s.append(')');
}
}
return s.toString(); //return a string
}
}
总结##
此题我最初的想法是用栈,后来发现只需要用栈的思想就够了,只需用一个计数器k和一个字符串变量s。当遇到左括号时,先判断k>0是否成立,如果成立,则将左括号存入字符串s,否则什么都不做,随后计数器k++;当遇到右括号时,先计数器k--,再判断k>0是否成立,如果成立,则将右括号存入字符串s,否则什么都不做。
Notes:
1.此题又是用StringBuilder类进行字符连接,返回值需要用toString()方法转为字符串。
