[leetcode] 717. 1-bit and 2-bit Characters

Description

We have two special characters. The first character can be represented by one bit 0. The second character can be represented by two bits (10 or 11).

Now given a string represented by several bits. Return whether the last character must be a one-bit character or not. The given string will always end with a zero.

Example 1:

Input: 
bits = [1, 0, 0]
Output: True
Explanation: 
The only way to decode it is two-bit character and one-bit character. So the last character is one-bit character.

Example 2:

Input: 
bits = [1, 1, 1, 0]
Output: False
Explanation: 
The only way to decode it is two-bit character and two-bit character. So the last character is NOT one-bit character.

Note:

• 1 <= len(bits) <= 1000.
• bits[i] is always 0 or 1.

分析

1. 这道题说有两种特殊的字符，一种是两位字符，只能是二进制的11和10，另一种是单个位字符，只能是二进制的0
2. 现在给了我们一个只包含0和1的数组，问我们能否将其正确的分割，使得最后一个字符是个单个位字符

这是一道easy题型，思维很直接

递归搜索的解法，我觉得这是最容易理解思想的方法，当然也是最暴力的方法啦，把各种终止条件，递归条件写出来就是程序啦。

代码

class Solution {
public:
    bool isOneBitCharacter(vector<int>& bits) {
        return solve(bits,0);
    }
    bool solve(vector<int>& bits,int idx){
        int n=bits.size();
        if(idx==n) return false;
        if(idx==n-1) return bits[idx]==0;
        if(bits[idx]==0) return solve(bits,idx+1);
        else return solve(bits,idx+2);
    }
};
