318. Maximum Product of Word Lengths

Given a string array words, find themaximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j]) wherethe two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word willcontain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.

Example 1:

Given ["abcw", "baz","foo", "bar", "xtfn", "abcdef"]

Return 16

The two words can be "abcw","xtfn".

Example 2:

Given ["a", "ab", "abc","d", "cd", "bcd", "abcd"]

Return 4

The two words can be "ab","cd".

Example 3:

Given ["a", "aa","aaa", "aaaa"]

Return 0

No such pair of words.

解题思路：

该题目意思是给定一个string数组，找出最大的乘积(length(word[i])*length(word[j]))，同时word[i]与word[j]没有交集。

为了判断两个字符串是否有交集，首先将数组中的字符串用一个整数表示，整数中每一位对应一个小写字母。…..xxxxxxxxxxx对应……….fedcba。两个字符串是否有交集则将对应的整数进行与运算，若结果不为0，说明有交集。

由于在寻找最大乘积时，会频繁用到字符串的长度，因此可提前使用数组保存字符串长度（该过程在一定程度上会减少运行时间）

使用指针指向固定大小的数组相比于使用vector划分固定大小的数组，运行时间较少。

    int maxProduct(vector<string>& words) {

        if(n<2)return 0;
        // 'vector<int>res' costs 20ms more than using 'int*res=new int[n]'
        //vector<int>res=vector<int>(n,0);
        int*res=new int[n];
        // using array len to store the length of words,it can improve the time.
        int*len=new int[n];
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
            //string word=words[i];
            //transform(word.begin(),word.end(),word.begin(),::tolower);
            res[i]=0;
            len[i]=words[i].size();
            int l=words[i].size();
            for(int j=0;j<l;j++){
                res[i]|=1<<(words[i][j]-'a');
            }
