Given two strings A and B, find the minimum number of times A has to be repeated such that B is a substring of it. If no such solution, return -1.
For example, with A = "abcd" and B = "cdabcdab".
Return 3, because by repeating A three times (“abcdabcdabcd”), B is a substring of it; and B is not a substring of A repeated two times ("abcdabcd").
Note:
The length of A
and B
will be between 1 and 10000.
题意:给定两个字符串A和B,问你字符串A至少重复多少次可以使串B是A的字串,如果始终找不到符合条件的次数,返回-1.
思路:
1.使用string.find()函数进行子串查找。
2.注意A串的重复次数初始为1.
参考代码:
class Solution {
public:
int repeatedStringMatch(string A, string B) {
int cnt=1;
string s=A;
while(s.size()<B.size())
{
s=s+A;
++cnt;
}
for(int i=0;i<2;++i){
if(s.find(B)!=-1)
return cnt;
cnt++;
s=s+A;
}
return -1;
}
};
