废话少说,先上题:
Given two words (start and end), and a dictionary, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from start to end, such that:
- Only one letter can be changed at a time
- Each intermediate word must exist in the dictionary
For example,
Given:
start = "hit"
end = "cog"
dict = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"]
As one shortest transformation is "hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog"
,
return its length 5
.
Note:
- Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence.
- All words have the same length.
- All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters.
这题本人的思路是利用bfs(广度优先搜索)来做,比如第一次单词是fit,先找出与fit距离为一的单词,若等于end,则返回,若不是则将该单词加入队列中,重复上述的动作,因为每次扫描都是距离相等的点的集合,若找到则返回,找不到则返回-1,但是,尼玛,爷做的怎么就不能AC呢,fuck,上不能AC的代码:
class Solution {
public:
queue<string> que;
map<string, bool> mapping;
bool add(string begin, string end, unordered_set<string>& dict)
{
for (int i = 0; i < begin.size(); i++)
{
for (char j = 'a'; j <= 'z'; j++)
{
string tmp = begin;
if (tmp[i] != j)
{
tmp[i] = j;
if (!mapping[tmp])
{
if (dict.find(tmp) != dict.end())
{
que.push(tmp);
if (tmp == end)
{
return true;
}
mapping[tmp] = true;
}
}
}
}
}
return false;
}
int bfs(string start, string end, unordered_set<string>& dict)
{
if (add(start, end, dict))
{
return 2;
}
int count = 3;
int tail = que.size();
if (tail == 0)
{
return 0;
}
while (true)
{
int begin = 0;
while (begin < tail)
{
string s = que.front();
que.pop();
if (add(s, end, dict))
{
return count;
}
begin++;
}
count++;
tail = que.size();
if (tail == 0)
{
return 0;
}
}
}
int ladderLength(string start, string end, unordered_set<string> &dict)
{
for (auto i = dict.begin(); i != dict.end(); i++)
{
mapping[*i] = false;
}
if (start == end)
{
return 0;
}
return bfs(start, end, dict);
}
};
