LeetCode DAY40(139. Word Break)

Preface

This is a new day to continue my Dynamic Programming journey.
Learn something new and keep reviewing what I learnt before.

1. Word Break

LeetCode Link: 139. Word Break
Given a string s and a dictionary of strings wordDict, return true if s can be segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more dictionary words.

Note that the same word in the dictionary may be reused multiple times in the segmentation.

Example 1:

Input: s = “leetcode”, wordDict = [“leet”,“code”]
Output: true
Explanation: Return true because “leetcode” can be segmented as “leet code”.
Example 2:

Input: s = “applepenapple”, wordDict = [“apple”,“pen”]
Output: true
Explanation: Return true because “applepenapple” can be segmented as “apple pen apple”.
Note that you are allowed to reuse a dictionary word.
Example 3:

Input: s = “catsandog”, wordDict = [“cats”,“dog”,“sand”,“and”,“cat”]
Output: false

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 300
1 <= wordDict.length <= 1000
1 <= wordDict[i].length <= 20
s and wordDict[i] consist of only lowercase English letters.
All the strings of wordDict are unique.

LeetCode C++ as followings Dynamic Programming

class Solution {
public:
    bool wordBreak(string s, vector<string>& wordDict) {
        unordered_set<string> wordSet(wordDict.begin(), wordDict.end());
        vector<bool> dp(s.size() + 1, false);
        dp[0] = true;
        for (int i = 1; i <= s.size(); i++) {   // traverse backpack
            for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {       // traverse items
                string word = s.substr(j, i - j); //substr(start_position，the number of interception)
                if (wordSet.find(word) != wordSet.end() && dp[j]) {
                    dp[i] = true;
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[s.size()];
    }
};
