LeetCode65 Valid Number

question

Validate if a given string is numeric.

Some examples:
“0” => true
” 0.1 ” => true
“abc” => false
“1 a” => false
“2e10” => true
Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one.

通信软件课上学了FSM，看到这题的时候眼前一亮，但苦于不会敲C，幸好从http://blog.csdn.net/suwei19870312/article/details/12094233和https://github.com/fuwutu/LeetCode/blob/master/Valid%20Number.cpp上看到了相关解法。下图给出了部分状态转移例子（图太丑TNT）。

在交题的时候发现代码是有一点点bug的，导致测试案例有的没过，这是修改之后的版本（非原创）

bool isNumber(char* s) {
    enum InputType
        {
            INVALID,    // 0
            SPACE,      // 1
            SIGN,       // 2
            DIGIT,      // 3
            DOT,        // 4
            EXPONENT,   // 5
            NUM_INPUTS  // 6
        }inputType;
        inputType= INVALID;

        int transitionTable[][NUM_INPUTS] =
        {
            -1,  0,  3,  1,  2, -1,     // next states for state 0
            -1,  8, -1,  1,  4,  5,     // next states for state 1
            -1, -1, -1,  4, -1, -1,     // next states for state 2
            -1, -1, -1,  1,  2, -1,     // next states for state 3
            -1,  8, -1,  4, -1,  5,     // next states for state 4
            -1, -1,  6,  7, -1, -1,     // next states for state 5
            -1, -1, -1,  7, -1, -1,     // next states for state 6
            -1,  8, -1,  7, -1, -1,     // next states for state 7
            -1,  8, -1, -1, -1, -1,     // next states for state 8
        };

        int state = 0;
        while (*s != '\0')
        {

            if (isspace(*s))
                inputType = SPACE;
            else if (*s == '+' || *s == '-')
                inputType = SIGN;
            else if (isdigit(*s))
                inputType = DIGIT;
            else if (*s == '.')
                inputType = DOT;
            else if (*s == 'e' || *s == 'E')
                inputType = EXPONENT;
            else inputType=INVALID; //修改
            state = transitionTable[state][inputType];

            if (state == -1)
                return false;
            else
                ++s;
        }

        return state == 1 || state == 4 || state == 7 || state == 8;

}

小结：enum的用法，transition[ ][NUM_INPUTS]数组的定义，以及最终状态的判断。
此思路值得借鉴。

try:
   float(s.strip())
   return True
except:
   return False
