Description
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.
问题描述
给定字符串数组words, 返回words中没有相同字母的两个字符串的最大的长度之积。words中的单词都只有小写字母。如果没有字母都不相同的两个字符串, 返回0
问题分析
关键是使用一个整数来保留字符串words[i]中字母的信息, ‘a’对应最低位为1, ‘b’对应次低位为1, 依次类推。
然后遍历字符串, 找出最大的长度之积即可
解法
class Solution {
public static int maxProduct(String[] words) {
if(words == null || words.length == 0) return 0;
int len = words.length;
int[] value = new int[len];
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++){
String tmp = words[i];
//关键是这里的转换
for(int j = 0; j < tmp.length(); j++) value[i] |= 1 << (tmp.charAt(j) - 'a');
}
int maxProduct = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++){
for(int j = i + 1; j < len; j++){
//注意这里使用按位与判断
if((value[i] & value[j]) == 0 && (words[i].length() * words[j].length() > maxProduct)){
maxProduct = words[i].length() * words[j].length();
}
}
}
return maxProduct;
}
}
