17. Letter Combinations of a Phone Number

Given a digit string, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent.
A mapping of digit to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below.
Input:Digit string “23”
Output: [“ad”, “ae”, “af”, “bd”, “be”, “bf”, “cd”, “ce”, “cf”].

解题思路：利用递归的方法可以，采用前一段字符串来生成当前字符串的映射；非递归可以用队列存结果，每次利用队头生成新的结果。

public class Solution {
    public List<String> letterCombinations(String digits) {
        List<String> res = new ArrayList<String>();
        if(digits == null || digits.length() == 0) return res;
        char[] chars = digits.toCharArray();
        HashMap<Character, String> map = new HashMap<Character, String>();
        map.put('2', "abc");
        map.put('3', "def");
        map.put('4', "ghi");
        map.put('5', "jkl");
        map.put('6', "mno");
        map.put('7', "pqrs");
        map.put('8', "tuv");
        map.put('9', "wxyz");
        if(chars.length == 1){
            String tmp = map.get(chars[0]);
            for(int i = 0; i < tmp.length(); i++){
                res.add(String.valueOf(tmp.charAt(i)));
            }
            return res;
        }
        String oldstr = digits.substring(0, digits.length()-1);
        List<String> oldres = letterCombinations(oldstr);
        String laststr = map.get(chars[chars.length-1]);
        for(String s : oldres){
            for(int i = 0; i < laststr.length(); i++){
                String tmp = s;
                tmp = tmp + laststr.charAt(i);
                res.add(tmp);
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
