【Leetcode】Shortest Palindrome

Shortest Palindrome

Given a string S, you are allowed to convert it to a palindrome by adding characters in front of it. Find and return the shortest palindrome you can find by performing this transformation.

For example:

Given "aacecaaa", return "aaacecaaa".

Given "abcd", return "dcbabcd".

首先确认一点基本知识，如果某个字符串str是回文的，那么str == reverse(str)

因此，将s逆转之后拼接在s后面，即news=s+reverse(s)，该新字符串news首尾相同的部分，即为s中以s[0]为起始的最长回文子串pres

只不过这里我不用上述的遍历来做，而用类似KMP算法求next数组来做。

在KMP算法中求next数组就是s自我匹配的过程，next[i]的值就表示s[i]之前有几个元素是与s开头元素相同的。

因此，next[news.size()]的值就表示news中首尾相同的部分的长度。接下来就好做了。

注意：当next[news.size()]的值大于s.size()时，说明重复部分贯穿了s与reverse(s)，应该修正为next[news.size()]+1-s.size()

    string shortestPalindrome(string s) {

            return s;
        string s2 = s;
        reverse(s2.begin(), s2.end());
        string news = s + s2;
        int n = news.size();
        vector<int> next(n+1);
        buildNext(news, next, n);
        if(next[n] > s.size())
            next[n] = next[n] + 1 - s.size();
        string pres = s.substr(next[n]);
        reverse(pres.begin(), pres.end());
        return pres + s;
    }
    void buildNext(string& s, vector<int>& next, int n)
    {
        int k = -1;
        int j = 0;
        next[0] = -1;
        while(j < n)
        {
            if(k == -1 || s[j] == s[k])
            {
                k ++;
                j ++;
                next[j] = k;
            }
            else
            {
                k = next[k];
            }
        }
    }
