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.

解题思路:用两个标志位分别表示满足条件的字符串的头尾。尾部索引号确定利用满足当前字符串包含目标字符条件,起始的字符串确定起来比较麻烦,首先若起始的字符为目标字符,且已经搜索到的个数大于目标搜索数,则跳过,其次首字符不是目标字符也跳过;基本按这样的思路写就可以确定符合条件的字符串了,最后通过遍历确定最短的字符串即可。

#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<string>
#include<map>
using namespace std;

string minWindow(string S, string T) {
	map<char, int>SubstrMap;        //目标字典(字符,相应个数)
	map<char, int>BesearchedMap;    //已搜索到的字典
	for (auto &str : T)
		SubstrMap[str]++;
	int CountBesecrsh  = 0;            
	int minLength      = INT_MAX;
	int minSubstrBegin = 0;
	int idx_begin      = 0;
	for (int idx_end = 0; idx_end != S.size(); ++idx_end){
		if (SubstrMap.find(S[idx_end]) != SubstrMap.end())
		{
			BesearchedMap[S[idx_end]]++;
			if (BesearchedMap[S[idx_end]]<=SubstrMap[S[idx_end]])
				CountBesecrsh++;
			if (CountBesecrsh==T.size())             //表示当前搜索点为尾的字符串满足搜索条件
			{
				while (idx_begin<=idx_end)
				{
					if (SubstrMap.find(S[idx_begin]) == SubstrMap.end()){
						idx_begin++;
						continue;
					}
					else if (BesearchedMap[S[idx_begin]] > SubstrMap[S[idx_begin]]){
						BesearchedMap[S[idx_begin]]--;
						idx_begin++;
						continue;
					}
					else
						break;	
				}	
				int length = idx_end + 1 - idx_begin;
				if (length<minLength)
				{
					minLength      = length;
					minSubstrBegin = idx_begin;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	if (minLength == INT_MAX)
		return "";
	return S.substr(minSubstrBegin, minLength);
}

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" ```
