Given a string that contains only digits 0-9
and a target value, return all possibilities to add binaryoperators (not unary) +
, -
, or *
between the digits so they evaluate to the target value.
Examples:
"123", 6 -> ["1+2+3", "1*2*3"] "232", 8 -> ["2*3+2", "2+3*2"] "105", 5 -> ["1*0+5","10-5"] "00", 0 -> ["0+0", "0-0", "0*0"] "3456237490", 9191 -> []
public class Solution {
public List<String> addOperators(String num, int target) {
List<String> rst = new ArrayList<String>();
if(num == null || num.length() == 0) return rst;
helper(rst, "", num, target, 0, 0, 0);
return rst;
}
public void helper(List<String> rst, String path, String num, int target, int pos, long eval, long multed){
if(pos == num.length()){
if(target == eval)
rst.add(path);
return;
}
for(int i = pos; i < num.length(); i++){
if(i != pos && num.charAt(pos) == '0') break;
long cur = Long.parseLong(num.substring(pos, i + 1));
if(pos == 0){
helper(rst, path + cur, num, target, i + 1, cur, cur);
}
else{
helper(rst, path + "+" + cur, num, target, i + 1, eval + cur , cur);
helper(rst, path + "-" + cur, num, target, i + 1, eval -cur, -cur);
helper(rst, path + "*" + cur, num, target, i + 1, eval - multed + multed * cur, multed * cur );
}
}
}
