原题:
Given a string array words, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j]) where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain 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.
分析:题意为求字符串数组中两个字符串长度乘积的最大值,其中这两个字符串不含有相同的字符
思路是设置一个变量res记录长度乘积的最大值,两层遍历数组,先判断两个字符串是否含有相同字符,若不含有,计算两个字符串长度的乘积并与res比较,取较大者存入res变量中。
需要写一个方法判断两个字符串是否含有相同字符,由于题设只含有小写字符,故可设一个长度为26的boolean型辅助数组,时间复杂度为O(n)
public class Solution {
public int maxProduct(String[] words) {
int res= 0;
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
for (int j = i+1; j < words.length; j++) {
if(compare(words[i],words[j])){//不含有相同的字符
int pro=words[i].length()* words[j].length();
res= res>pro?res:pro;
}
}
}
return res;
}
private static boolean compare(String v, String w)
{
boolean[] chars = new boolean[26];
for (int i = 0; i < v.length(); i++) {
chars[v.charAt(i) - 'a'] = true;
}
for (int j = 0; j < w.length(); j++) {
if (chars[w.charAt(j) - 'a']) return false;
}
return true;
}
}
