LeetCode: Interleaving String

来源:互联网 发布:c语言找质数 编辑:程序博客网 时间:2024/05/01 20:01

Given s1s2s3, find whether s3 is formed by the interleaving of s1 and s2.

For example,
Given:
s1 = "aabcc",
s2 = "dbbca",

When s3 = "aadbbcbcac", return true.
When s3 = "aadbbbaccc", return false.


Naive solution:

Recursion

if (s1[0] == s3[0]  && isInterteaving(s1[1], s2, s3[1]))

    return true;

if (s2[0] == s3[0]  && isInterleaving(s1, s2[1], s3[1]))

    return true;

return false;


Using recursion, a lot of case will be evaluated multiple times, thus, complexity grows exponentially.  Use DP will solve.  We actually need to calculate

(s1[0], s2[0]), (s1[1], s2[0]), (s1[0], s2[1]), ....

Thus we could build a (m+1)*(n+1) array, m is s1 length and n is s2 length

if(s1[i]== s3[i+j] && dp[i+1][j])

    dp[i][j] = true;

else

    if(s2[j]==s3[j] && dp[i][j+1])

        dp[i][j] = true;

    else

        dp[i][j] = false
