第36题 Compare Version Numbers

Compare two version numbers version1 and version1.
If version1 > version2 return 1, if version1 < version2 return -1, otherwise return 0.

You may assume that the version strings are non-empty and contain only digits and the . character.
The . character does not represent a decimal point and is used to separate number sequences.
For instance, 2.5 is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision.

Here is an example of version numbers ordering:

0.1 < 1.1 < 1.2 < 13.37

Solution in Java:

public class Solution {
    public int compareVersion(String version1, String version2) {
        String[] v1 = version1.split("\\.");
        String[] v2 = version2.split("\\.");
        for(int i=0; i<Math.min(v1.length, v2.length); i++){
            if(Integer.parseInt(v1[i])<Integer.parseInt(v2[i])) return -1;
            else if(Integer.parseInt(v1[i])>Integer.parseInt(v2[i])) return 1;
        }
        boolean zero=true;
        if(v1.length<v2.length){
            for(int i=v1.length; i<v2.length; i++)
                zero = zero&(Integer.parseInt(v2[i])==0);
            if(!zero) return -1;
        }
        if(v1.length>v2.length){
            for(int i=v2.length; i<v1.length; i++)
                zero = zero&(Integer.parseInt(v1[i])==0);
            if(!zero) return 1;
        } 
        return 0;
    }
}

Note:

用“.”分割字符串时，注意需要转义成“\\.”，其中“\”自身还需要转义一次。

version“1.0” version“1”和version“1.0.0.0”是相等的，所以当两个version长度不一样时，需要检查长的一方后面几个部分是否都为0，如果是则返回0，相等。

Solution in C++:

class Solution {
public:
    int compareVersion(string version1, string version2) {
        int ptr1 = 0, ptr2 = 0;
        int val1 = 0, val2=0;
        while(ptr1<version1.size()||ptr2<version2.size()){
            while(ptr1<version1.size()&&version1[ptr1]!='.'){
                val1 =  val1*10 + (version1[ptr1]-'0');
                ptr1++;
            }
            while(ptr2<version2.size()&&version2[ptr2]!='.'){
                val2 = val2*10 + (version2[ptr2]-'0');
                ptr2++;
            }
            if(val1>val2) return 1;
            if(val1<val2) return -1;
            val1=0;
            val2=0;
            ptr1++;
            ptr2++;
        }
        return 0;
    }
};

Note: 不关心格式，val1和val2初值赋为0，只关心该段内值的大小。
