Given a string s1, we may represent it as a binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.
Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great"
:
great / \ gr eat / \ / \ g r e at / \ a t
To scramble the string, we may choose any non-leaf node and swap its two children.
For example, if we choose the node "gr"
and swap its two children, it produces a scrambled string "rgeat"
.
rgeat / \ rg eat / \ / \ r g e at / \ a t
We say that "rgeat"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Similarly, if we continue to swap the children of nodes "eat"
and "at"
, it produces a scrambled string "rgtae"
.
rgtae / \ rg tae / \ / \ r g ta e / \ t a
We say that "rgtae"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Given two strings s1 and s2 of the same length, determine if s2 is a scrambled string of s1.
Solution:
class Solution {
public:
bool isScramble(string s1, string s2) {
int len = s1.length();
if(len != s2.length()) return false;
vector<vector<vector<bool> > > dp(len + 1, vector<vector<bool> >(len, vector<bool>(len, false)));
dp[0][0][0] = true;
for(int i = len - 1; i >= 0; --i)
for(int j = len - 1; j >= 0; --j)
for(int k = 1; k <= len - max(i, j); ++k)
{
if(s1.substr(i, k) == s2.substr(j, k)) dp[k][i][j] = true;
else
{
for(int t = 1; t < k; ++t)
{
if((dp[t][i][j] && dp[k-t][i+t][j+t]) || (dp[t][i][j+k-t]) && dp[k-t][i+t][j])
{
dp[k][i][j] = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
return dp[len][0][0];
}
};
