問題描述
Consider the string s to be the infinite wraparound string of “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”, so s will look like this: “…zabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcd….”.
Now we have another string p. Your job is to find out how many unique non-empty substrings of p are present in s. In particular, your input is the string p and you need to output the number of different non-empty substrings of p in the string s.
Note: p consists of only lowercase English letters and the size of p might be over 10000.
Example 1:
Input: “a”
Output: 1
Explanation: Only the substring “a” of string “a” is in the string s.
Example 2:
Input: “cac”
Output: 2
Explanation: There are two substrings “a”, “c” of string “cac” in the string s.
Example 3:
Input: “zab”
Output: 6
Explanation: There are six substrings “z”, “a”, “b”, “za”, “ab”, “zab” of string “zab” in the string s.
題解
這個題剛看到時,表示不會寫,也不理解題的意思。後來在網上找了題解,研究了半天才弄明白的。現在寫寫自己的見解,希望對自己有所提高。
我們可以發現給定的字符串s,是一個a-z 26個字母的循環。題目要求當輸入一段字符串,要求得輸入的字符串的子串也是給定s的子串的數目;
其實找出以’a-z’每個字符結尾的情況下,最長的子串有多長,然後將其相加就可以;
int findSubstringInWraproundString(string p)
{
int cnt[26];
int i = 0;
for (; i < 26; i++){
cnt[i] = 0;
}
int len = 0;
int res = 0;
for (i = 0; i < p.length(); i++){
int cur = p[i] - 'a';
if (i > 0 && p[i - 1] != (cur + 26 - 1) % 26 + 'a') len = 0;
if (++len > cnt[cur]) {
res += len - cnt[cur];
cnt[cur] = len;
}
}
return res;
}
