[LeetCode] Palindrome Partitioning II

Total Accepted: 7469 Total Submissions: 43163

Given a string s, partition s such that every substring of the partition is a palindrome.

Return the minimum cuts needed for a palindrome partitioning of s.

For example, given s = "aab",
Return 1 since the palindrome partitioning ["aa","b"] could be produced using 1 cut.

public class Solution {
    public int minCut(String s) {
        int len = s.length();
        if (len == 0) return 0;
        
        int[][] dp1 = new int[len][len];
        
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) dp1[i][i] = 1;
        
        for (int k = 1; k < len; k++) {
            for (int i = 0; i < len - k; i++) {
                int j = i + k;

                if (((j == i+1) || (dp1[i+1][j-1] == 1)) && s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j)) dp1[i][j] = 1;
            }
        }
        
        // mincut from 0 to i
        int[] dp2 = new int[len];
        
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) dp2[i] = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        
        dp2[0] = 0;
        
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            if (dp1[0][i] == 1) dp2[i] = 0;
            else {
                for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
                    if (dp1[j][i] == 1) dp2[i] = Math.min(dp2[i], 1 + dp2[j - 1]);
                }
            }
        }
        
        return dp2[len - 1];
    }
