LeetCode: Distinct Subsequences 解题报告

Distinct Subsequences

Given a string S and a string T, count the number of distinct subsequences of T in S.

A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ACE" is a subsequence of "ABCDE" while "AEC" is not).

Here is an example:
S = "rabbbit", T = "rabbit"

Return 3.

SOLUTION 1（AC）:

现在这种DP题目基本都是5分钟AC咯。主页君引一下别人的解释咯：

http://blog.csdn.net/abcbc/article/details/8978146

引自以上的解释：

 遇到这种两个串的问题，很容易想到DP。但是这道题的递推关系不明显。可以先尝试做一个二维的表int[][] dp，用来记录匹配子序列的个数（以S ="rabbbit",T = "rabbit"为例）：

 

    r a b b b i t

  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

r 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

a 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1

b 0 0 0 1 2 3 3 3

b 0 0 0 0 1 3 3 3

i 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3

t 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3  

从这个表可以看出，无论T的字符与S的字符是否匹配，dp[i][j] = dp[i][j - 1].就是说，假设S已经匹配了j - 1个字符，得到匹配个数为dp[i][j - 1].现在无论S[j]是不是和T[i]匹配，匹配的个数至少是dp[i][j - 1]。除此之外，当S[j]和T[i]相等时，我们可以让S[j]和T[i]匹配，然后让S[j - 1]和T[i - 1]去匹配。所以递推关系为：

dp[0][0] = 1; // T和S都是空串.

dp[0][1 ... S.length() - 1] = 1; // T是空串，S只有一种子序列匹配。

dp[1 ... T.length() - 1][0] = 0; // S是空串，T不是空串，S没有子序列匹配。

dp[i][j] = dp[i][j - 1] + (T[i - 1] == S[j - 1] ? dp[i - 1][j - 1] : 0).1 <= i <= T.length(), 1 <= j <= S.length()


 

这道题可以作为两个字符串DP的典型：

两个字符串：

先创建二维数组存放答案，如解法数量。注意二维数组的长度要比原来字符串长度+1，因为要考虑第一个位置是空字符串。

然后考虑dp[i][j]和dp[i-1][j],dp[i][j-1],dp[i-1][j-1]的关系，如何通过判断S.charAt(i)和T.charAt(j)的是否相等来看看如果移除了最后两个字符，能不能把问题转化到子问题。

最后问题的答案就是dp[S.length()][T.length()]

还有就是要注意通过填表来找规律。

注意：循环的时候，一定要注意i的取值要到len，这个出好几次错了。

SOLUTION 4 （AC）:

参考了http://blog.csdn.net/fightforyourdream/article/details/17346385?reload#comments的代码后，发现递归过程找解的过程可以优化。我们不需要沿用DP的思路

而应该与permutation之类差不多，把当前可能可以取的解都去尝试一次。就是在S中找到T的首字母，再进一步递归。
