Given a string s1, we may represent it as a binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.
Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great"
:
great / \ gr eat / \ / \ g r e at / \ a t
To scramble the string, we may choose any non-leaf node and swap its two children.
For example, if we choose the node "gr"
and swap its two children, it produces a scrambled string "rgeat"
.
rgeat / \ rg eat / \ / \ r g e at / \ a t
We say that "rgeat"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Similarly, if we continue to swap the children of nodes "eat"
and "at"
, it produces a scrambled string "rgtae"
.
rgtae / \ rg tae / \ / \ r g ta e / \ t a
We say that "rgtae"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Given two strings s1 and s2 of the same length, determine if s2 is a scrambled string of s1.
class Solution {
public:
bool isScramble(string s1, string s2) {
// Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
if(s1.length() !=s2.length() )
return false;
//scramble s1 to s2. Partition s1 from 0 to n if the first n elements are the same in s1 and s2 except the order
//keep a table to match the number of alphebits
int A[26]={0};
for(int i=0;i<s1.length();i++)
{
A[s1[i]-'a']++;
A[s2[i]-'a']--;
}
for(int i=0;i<s1.length();i++)
if(A[s1[i]-'a'] != 0)
return false;
if(s1.length()==1) return true;
//start partitioning
bool result=false;
for(int i=1;i<s2.length();i++)
{
bool result1=isScramble(s1.substr(0,i),s2.substr(0,i))&&isScramble(s1.substr(i,s1.length()-i),s2.substr(i,s2.length()-i));
bool result2=isScramble(s1.substr(0,i),s2.substr(s2.length()-i,i)) && isScramble(s1.substr(i,s1.length()-i),s2.substr(0,s2.length()-i));
result=result1||result2;
if(result==true)
return result;
}
return result;
}
};
