问题:请实现一个函数用来找出字符流中第一个只出现一次的字符。例如,当从字符流中只读出前两个字符"go"时,第一个只出现一次的字符是"g"。当从该字符流中读出前六个字符“google"时,第一个只出现一次的字符是"l"。
方法1:将字符流保存起来
通过哈希表统计字符流中每个字符出现的次数,顺便将字符流保存在string中,然后再遍历string,从哈希表中找到第一个出现一次的字符;
方法2:哈希表特殊处理
同样通过哈希表来统计字符流中每个字符,不过不是统计次数,而是保存位置,哈希表初始化每个键值对应的value均为-1,如果字符出现一次,则value等于该字符的下标,如果字符出现两次,则value等于-2;这样遍历哈希表时,第一个value大于0的字符就是第一个出现一次的字符;
详细的代码实现:
#include <vector>
#include <limits>
using namespace std;
class CharStatistics
{
public:
CharStatistics() : index (0)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
occurrence[i] = -1;
}
void Insert(char ch)
{
if(occurrence[ch] == -1)
occurrence[ch] = index;
else if(occurrence[ch] >= 0)
occurrence[ch] = -2;
index++;
}
char FirstAppearingOnce()
{
char ch = '\0';
int minIndex = numeric_limits<int>::max();
for(int i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
{
if(occurrence[i] >= 0 && occurrence[i] < minIndex)
{
ch = (char)i;
minIndex = occurrence[i];
}
}
return ch;
}
private:
// occurrence[i]: A character with ASCII value i;
// occurrence[i] = -1: The character has not found;
// occurrence[i] = -2: The character has been found for mutlple times
// occurrence[i] >= 0: The character has been found only once
int occurrence[256];
int index;
};
// ==================== Test Code ====================
void Test(char* testName, CharStatistics chars, char expected)
{
if(testName != NULL)
printf("%s begins: ", testName);
if(chars.FirstAppearingOnce() == expected)
printf("Passed.\n");
else
printf("FAILED.\n");
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
CharStatistics chars;
Test("Test1", chars, '\0');
chars.Insert('g');
Test("Test2", chars, 'g');
chars.Insert('o');
Test("Test3", chars, 'g');
chars.Insert('o');
Test("Test4", chars, 'g');
chars.Insert('g');
Test("Test5", chars, '\0');
chars.Insert('l');
Test("Test6", chars, 'l');
chars.Insert('e');
Test("Test7", chars, 'l');
return 0;
}
