Given a string array words
, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j])
where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.
Example 1:
Given ["abcw", "baz", "foo", "bar", "xtfn", "abcdef"]
Return 16
The two words can be "abcw", "xtfn"
.
Example 2:
Given ["a", "ab", "abc", "d", "cd", "bcd", "abcd"]
Return 4
The two words can be "ab", "cd"
.
Example 3:
Given ["a", "aa", "aaa", "aaaa"]
Return 0
No such pair of words.

这道题没思路,参考这位仁兄:http://www.jianshu.com/p/bb84b0f866c9
主要难点在于如何简单的判断两个word是否存在相同字母,方法如下:小写字母一共有26个,一个int是32位,那么可以用int的每个位来代表一个字母
例如:abcd = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111;
例如:abcg = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0111;
那么对两个word生成的两个int做相与,如果结果为0那么一定表示没有相同的字母
public class Solution {
public int maxProduct(String[] words) {
if (words.length <= 1) {
return 0;
}
int[] preProcessed = new int[words.length];
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < words[i].length(); j++) {
preProcessed[i] |= 1 << (words[i].charAt(j) - 'a');
}
}
int maxL = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
for (int j = i+1; j < words.length; j++) {
if ((preProcessed[i] & preProcessed[j]) == 0) {//没有重复字母
int product = words[i].length() * words[j].length();
if (maxL < product) {
maxL = product;
}
}
}
}
return maxL;
}
}
