Leetcode_wildcard-matching(c++ and python version)

地址： http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/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：(1)如果*s与*p相等或者*p=='?', s++, p++, 继续下一次判断;

            (2)若*p=='*', 先用copyp和copys分别把p和s存一份(其实存的是起始位置， 可以做*匹配的起始位置), s的位置不变，++p (这里其实是*不匹配任何，若之后不匹配，再退回来匹配)

            (3)若copyp不为空，即之前存在*，现在可以匹配，p = copyp + 1, 即从*之后开始, s = ++copys, s也是从当初copys开始，不过copys本身也要自增(记录*已匹配字符数)，每自增一次，代表p中的*匹配多一个字符，每次如此p = copyp + 1, 从*后开始匹配，不匹配的话再重复(即*再多匹配s中的一个字符), 直到s为空.

           (4)前三都不符合，无法匹配。

c++参考代码：

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

python 参考代码：

class Solution:
    # @param s, an input string
    # @param p, a pattern string
    # @return a boolean
    def isMatch(self, s, p):
        p += '\0'
        copys = copyp = ""
        flag = True
        while s:
            if s[0] == p[0] or p[0] == '?':
                s = s[1:]
                p = p[1:]
            elif p[0] == '*':
                copyp = p
                copys = s
                p = p[1:]
            elif copyp:
                copys = copys[1:]
                s = copys
                p = copyp[1:]
            else:
                return False

        while p and p[0]=='*':
            p = p[1:]
        return p[0]=='\0'

python的代码真是折腾死了，没有指针真是不方便啊！
