Different Ways to Add Parentheses问题及解法

问题描述：

Given a string of numbers and operators, return all possible results from computing all the different possible ways to group numbers and operators. The valid operators are +, - and *.

示例：

Input: "2-1-1".

((2-1)-1) = 0
(2-(1-1)) = 2

Output: [0, 2]

Input: "2*3-4*5"

(2*(3-(4*5))) = -34
((2*3)-(4*5)) = -14
((2*(3-4))*5) = -10
(2*((3-4)*5)) = -10
(((2*3)-4)*5) = 10

Output: [-34, -14, -10, -10, 10]

问题分析：

对与本题，我们可以利用分治法，将问题转换为各个子问题求解。

过程详见代码：

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> diffWaysToCompute(string input) {
		vector<int> res;
		int size = input.length();
		for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
		{
			char cur = input[i];
			if (cur == '+' || cur == '*' || cur == '-')
			{
				vector<int> result1 = diffWaysToCompute(input.substr(0, i));
				vector<int> result2 = diffWaysToCompute(input.substr(i + 1));
				for (auto n1 : result1)
				{
					for (auto n2 : result2)
					{
						if (cur == '+') res.emplace_back(n1 + n2);
						else if (cur == '-') res.emplace_back(n1 - n2);
						else res.emplace_back(n1 * n2);
					}
				}
			}
		}
		if (res.empty()) res.emplace_back(stoi(input));
		return res;
	}
};
