LeetCode题解：Wildcard Matching

Wildcard Matching

Implement wildcard pattern matching with support for '?' and '*'.

'?' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches any sequence of characters (including the empty sequence).

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).

The function prototype should be:
bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p)

Some examples:
isMatch("aa","a") → false
isMatch("aa","aa") → true
isMatch("aaa","aa") → false
isMatch("aa", "*") → true
isMatch("aa", "a*") → true
isMatch("ab", "?*") → true
isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → false

思路：

应该可以用动态规划的方法来处理。

class Solution {
public:
    bool isMatch (const char* s, const char* p)
    {
        if (s == 0 || p == 0) return false;
        
        while (true)
        {
            if (*s == 0 && *p == 0) return true;
            
            if (*p == 0) return false;
            
            if (*p == '?' || *p == *s)
            {
                ++s, ++p;
            }
            else if (*p == '*')
            {
                const char* next_p = p + 1;
                while (*next_p == '*' && *next_p != 0) ++next_p;

                {
                    if (*next_p == '?')                                                                    
                        return isMatch (s, next_p) || isMatch (s + 1, p);                                  
                    else if (*next_p != 0)                                                                 
                    {                                                                                      
                        const char* next_s = s;                                                            
                        bool valid = false;                                                                
                        while (*next_s != 0)                                                               
                        {                                                                                  
                            if (*next_s == *next_p && isMatch (next_s + 1, next_p + 1))                    
                            {                                                                              
                                valid = true;                                                              
                                break;                                                                     
                            }
                            ++next_s;
                        }
                        return valid;
                    }
                    else
                        return true;
                }
            }
            else
                return false;
        }
    }
};

思路：

上述方法是超时的。没有办法。不过考虑到其实可以把pattern以*为间隔分块，然后在字符串里看是否这些块按顺序出现，当然开头和结尾的部分要特殊处理一下。比如结尾的块不是'*'，那么就必须按照倒序检查原始字符串末尾的字符。
