Given a string s and a dictionary of words dict, determine if s can be segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more dictionary words.
For example, given
s = "leetcode"
,
dict = ["leet", "code"]
.
Return true because "leetcode"
can be segmented as "leet code"
.
Idea: Dynamic programming + Nested Loop
Create the DP table to store results of sub-problems.
The value res[i] will be true if str[0..i-1]
can be segmented into dictionary words,
otherwise false.
Steps in detail:
outer loop: i start from 0 to N
inner loop: j start from 0 to i
res[i+1]<- true iff res[j]<-true and dict contain this word
public static boolean wordBreak(String s, Set<String> dict) {
if(s==null || s.length()==0) return true;
int len=s.length();
boolean res[]=new boolean[len+1];
//initial res[0]
res[0]=true;
for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
StringBuilder tempStr=new StringBuilder(s.substring(0,i+1));
for(int j=0;j<=i;j++){
if(res[j] && dict.contains(tempStr.toString())){
res[i+1]=true;
break;
}
tempStr.deleteCharAt(0);
}
}
/* For the case of str="leetcode" dict="leet", "code"
res= [true, false, false, false, true, false, false, false, true]
after the nested loop
*/
return res[len];
}
