International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows: “a” maps to “.-”, “b” maps to “-…”, “c” maps to “-.-.”, and so on.
For convenience, the full table for the 26 letters of the English alphabet is given below:
[".-","-…","-.-.","-…",".","…-.","–.","…","…",".—","-.-",".-…","–","-.","—",".–.","–.-",".-.","…","-","…-","…-",".–","-…-","-.–","–…"]
Now, given a list of words, each word can be written as a concatenation of the Morse code of each letter. For example, “cba” can be written as “-.-…–…”, (which is the concatenation “-.-.” + “-…” + “.-”). We’ll call such a concatenation, the transformation of a word.
Return the number of different transformations among all words we have.
Example:
Input: words = [“gin”, “zen”, “gig”, “msg”]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The transformation of each word is:
“gin” -> “–…-.”
“zen” -> “–…-.”
“gig” -> “–…--.”
“msg” -> “–…--.”
There are 2 different transformations, “–…-.” and “–…--.”.
Note:
The length of words will be at most 100.
Each words[i] will have length in range [1, 12].
words[i] will only consist of lowercase letters.
一开始没想到怎么处理不重复的问题。
python用set可以实现。
character转ascii码,用ord()
转小写用str.lower()
Code:
class Solution:
def uniqueMorseRepresentations(self, words):
"""
:type words: List[str]
:rtype: int
"""
Alphabet = [".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."]
codelist = []
for word in words:
t_word = ''
word = word.lower()
for w in word:
t_word += Alphabet[ord(w)-ord('a')]
codelist.append(t_word)
return len(set(codelist))
看到discuss里面的代码很简单明了
def uniqueMorseRepresentations(self, words):
d = [".-", "-...", "-.-.", "-..", ".", "..-.", "--.", "....", "..", ".---", "-.-", ".-..", "--",
"-.", "---", ".--.", "--.-", ".-.", "...", "-", "..-", "...-", ".--", "-..-", "-.--", "--.."]
return len({''.join(d[ord(i) - ord('a')] for i in w) for w in words})
