Implement regular expression matching with support for '.'
and '*'
.
'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.
The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
The function prototype should be:
bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p)
Some examples:
isMatch("aa","a") → false
isMatch("aa","aa") → true
isMatch("aaa","aa") → false
isMatch("aa", "a*") → true
isMatch("aa", ".*") → true
isMatch("ab", ".*") → true
isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → true
尤其注意"ab"和".*"这种匹配,由于‘.'代表任何一个字符,对于'.'的‘*’扩充可以得到任意多个'.',所以ab和.*匹配。
Source
public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
if(p.length() == 0){
if(s.length() == 0)
return true;
else return false;
}
if(p.length() == 1){
if(s.length() == 1 && (p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.'))
return true;
else return false;
}
if(p.charAt(1) != '*'){
if(s.length() != 0 && (s.charAt(0) == p.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.') && isMatch(s.substring(1), p.substring(1)))
//此处递归
return true;
else return false;
}
else{
while(s.length() != 0 && (s.charAt(0) == p.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.')){
if(isMatch(s, p.substring(2))) //***
return true;
s = s.substring(1);
}
return isMatch(s, p.substring(2));
}
}
Test
public static void main(String[] args){
String s = "ab";
String p = ".*";
System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch(s, p));
}
