【LeetCode】65. Valid Number

题目描述

Validate if a given string is numeric.

Some examples:

"0" => true
" 0.1 " => true
"abc" => false
"1 a" => false
"2e10" => true

Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one.

解题思路

可以大概结合一下编译原理中的上下文无关文法。
大概可以有如下的规则

exponent -> float + 'e' + int
float    -> int + '.' + int | int
int      -> +DIGITS | -DIGITS | DIGITS
DIGITS   -> {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} 

先将string两边的空格全部strip掉，然后利用上面的规则进行判断。
上面的规则不能覆盖得很完全。还需要仔细处理一些边界情况。
总共1500多个测例，要是不能run code并且wrong answer没有任何提示的话，想AC估计得很仔细……

AC代码

        for (int i = 0; i < s.size(); ++i) {

            if (flag && i == 0 && s.size() > 1 && (s[i] == '-' || s[i] == '+'))
                continue;

            if (!(s[i] >= '0' && s[i] <= '9'))
                return false;

    bool isFloat(string s) {
        int pIdx = 0;

        string leftS = s.substr(0, i);

        return isFloat(leftS) && isInt(rightS);
    }
