Given a digit string, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent.
A mapping of digit to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below.
Input:Digit string "23" Output: ["ad", "ae", "af", "bd", "be", "bf", "cd", "ce", "cf"].
Note:
Although the above answer is in lexicographical order, your answer could be in any order you want.
public class Solution {
//store the mapping
String[] map={"","","abc","def","ghi","jkl","mno","pqrs","tuv","wxyz"};
List<String> result=new ArrayList<String>();
public List<String> letterCombinations(String digits) {
if(digits.length()==0){
result.add(new String());
return result;
};
findCombination(digits,0,new StringBuffer());
return result;
}
public void findCombination(String digits,int pos, StringBuffer s){
int num=digits.charAt(pos)-'0';
int len=map[num].length(); // length of the string the digit refers to
for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
s.append(map[num].charAt(i));
if(pos==digits.length()-1)result.add(s.toString());
else if(pos<digits.length()-1){findCombination(digits,pos+1,s);}
/*undo effect*/
s.deleteCharAt(pos); //how to use
}
}
}
想法非常简单:用string数组储存电话键盘上面的数字,注意对应的数组下标要和数字对应。
backtracking传递参数,第几个数字,string。
注意的问题:stringbuffer有toString()方法,builder没有。然后delete方法不要忘记。
2在没有输入的情况下传递一个包含空的字符串result。
3charAt ()返回来的是一个char 对应的二进制,不要忘了减去'0'转换成想要的数字。
