题目描述
Given a string of numbers and operators, return all possible results from computing all the different possible ways to group numbers and operators. The valid operators are +, - and *.
Example 1
Input: “2-1-1” .
((2-1)-1) = 0
(2-(1-1)) = 2
Output: [0, 2]
Example 2
Input: “2*3-4*5”
(2*(3-(4*5))) = -34
((2*3)-(4*5)) = -14
((2*(3-4))*5) = -10
(2*((3-4)*5)) = -10
(((2*3)-4)*5) = 10
Output: [-34, -14, -10, -10, 10]

题意理解
给一串数学表达式的字符串,算出这个字符串加上任意合理括号之后的计算结果
递归解决
算法描述
将字符串从左往右遍历,每一个运算符+, - 或 * 都将字符串分割成两部分, 递归计算两边的结果,再将两边通过该运算符计算出来最后的结果.
边界条件为:字符串中只有数字,没有运算符
具体实现
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> diffWaysToCompute(string input) {
vector<int> result;
for (int i = 0; i < input.size(); i++) {
char cur = input[i];
if (cur == '+' || cur == '-' || cur == '*') {
vector<int> left = diffWaysToCompute(input.substr(0, i));
vector<int> right = diffWaysToCompute(input.substr(i+1));
for (auto l : left) {
for (auto r : right) {
if (cur == '+')
result.push_back(l + r);
else if (cur == '-')
result.push_back(l - r);
else if (cur == '*')
result.push_back(l * r);
}
}
}
}
// bounded condition
if(result.empty())
result.push_back(atoi(input.c_str()));
return result;
}
};
优化
在搜索更优解的时候发现,上面的解法虽然可行,但是进行了很多重复计算,加大了开销,在网络上找到一个参考博客:用map<string, vector<int>>
的哈希表来保存已经计算过的子串的结果
