【leetcode刷题笔记】Substring with Concatenation of All Words

You are given a string, S, and a list of words, L, that are all of the same length. Find all starting indices of substring(s) in S that is a concatenation of each word in L exactly once and without any intervening characters.

For example, given:
S"barfoothefoobarman"
L["foo", "bar"]

You should return the indices: [0,9].
(order does not matter).


题解:题目的意思是在S中找到一个子串,恰好包含了L中所有的串,L中的串在S的字串中的顺序不重要。

思路很简单,假设L中共有m个串,每个串长度为n,那么L中子串合并起来总长度是m*n,那么只要在S中依次搜索长度为m*n的串就可以了。在搜索的过程中,设置两个hashmap,一个存放L中的串和它们在L中出现的次数,一个存放在S中m*n的子串中找到的长度为n的串和它们在S的子串中出现的次数,因为查看的是S长度为m*n的子串,并且是n个字符为一组查看的,所以要么在S中看到某个长度为n的子串不出现在L中,要么在S中出现的次数比L中多,否则这个长度为m*n的串就是L的所有串的合并。

 例如题目中的例子

  • 我们首先查看S的子串barfoo,查看这个子串的时候,按照bar,foo的顺序查看,得知子串foobar是符合要求的
  • 再查看子串arfoot,查看顺序是arf,oot,发现arf不在L中,所以arfoot不符合要求;
  • 再查看子串rfooth,......
