Minimum Window Substring

Given a string S and a string T, find the minimum window in S which will contain all the characters in T in complexity O(n).

For example,

S = “ADOBECODEBANC”

T = “ABC”

Minimum window is “BANC”.

Note:

If there is no such window in S that covers all characters in T, return the emtpy string “”.

If there are multiple such windows, you are guaranteed that there will always be only one unique minimum window in S.

这道题的要求是在给定的字符串S中找到最小的窗口使其完全包含字符串T中所有字符,如果不存在,则返回空串”“。

只记思路吧,动态规划。
用一个哈希表记录目标字符串每个字母的个数,一个哈希表记录窗口中每个字母的个数。先找到第一个有效的窗口,用两个指针标出它的上界和下界。然后每次窗口右界向右移时,将左边尽可能的右缩,右缩的条件是窗口中字母的个数不小于目标字符串中字母的个数。

tips:只有字母的情况下(包括大小写),可以用一个128位的char数组来表示哈希表,因为字母的ASCII码都在这个范围内
(a~z:97~122;A~Z:65~90)

To solve this problem, we can use the sliding window approach again. Here's the algorithm: 1. Initialize two dictionaries: need and window. need stores the count of each character in t, and window stores the count of each character in the current window. 2. Initialize two pointers left and right to mark the current window, and two variables match and required to track the number of matched characters and the number of required characters respectively. 3. Initialize a variable min_len to a large value and a variable start to 0 to store the start index of the minimum window substring. 4. While the right pointer is less than the length of the string s: - If the character at s[right] is in need, add it to window and update match and required accordingly. - While all characters in need are included in window, update min_len and start accordingly, and remove the character at s[left] from window and update match and required accordingly. - Move the left pointer to the right. - Move the right pointer to the right. 5. Return the minimum window substring starting from index start and having length min_len, or the empty string if no such substring exists. Here's the Python code for the algorithm: ``` def min_window(s, t): need = {} for c in t: need[c] = need.get(c, 0) + 1 window = {} left = right = 0 match = 0 required = len(need) min_len = float('inf') start = 0 while right < len(s): if s[right] in need: window[s[right]] = window.get(s[right], 0) + 1 if window[s[right]] == need[s[right]]: match += 1 while match == required: if right - left + 1 < min_len: min_len = right - left + 1 start = left if s[left] in need: window[s[left]] -= 1 if window[s[left]] < need[s[left]]: match -= 1 left += 1 right += 1 return s[start:start+min_len] if min_len != float('inf') else "" ``` Example usage: ``` s = "ADOBECODEBANC" t = "ABC" print(min_window(s, t)) # Output: "BANC" ```
