试题:
Given a string containing digits from 2-9 inclusive, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent.
A mapping of digit to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below. Note that 1 does not map to any letters.
Example:
Input: “23”
Output: [“ad”, “ae”, “af”, “bd”, “be”, “bf”, “cd”, “ce”, “cf”].
代码:
其实就类似于深度优先算法。先访问第一个数字,然后出现三种路径。以此类推。算法叫Backtracking。
class Solution {
Map<String, String> phone = new HashMap<String, String>() {{
put("2", "abc");
put("3", "def");
put("4", "ghi");
put("5", "jkl");
put("6", "mno");
put("7", "pqrs");
put("8", "tuv");
put("9", "wxyz");
}};
List<String> output = new ArrayList<String>();
public void backtrack(String combination, String next_digits) {
if (next_digits.length() == 0) {
output.add(combination);
}
else {
String digit = next_digits.substring(0, 1);
String letters = phone.get(digit);
for (int i = 0; i < letters.length(); i++) {
String letter = letters.substring(i, i + 1);
backtrack(combination + letter, next_digits.substring(1));
}
}
}
public List<String> letterCombinations(String digits) {
if (digits.length() != 0)
backtrack("", digits);
return output;
}
}
