Leetcode 686 Repeated String Match
题目原文
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.
题意分析
给定一个stringB,求问A重复多少次能使得B是他的子字符串,如果不行返回-1.
解法分析
首先需要将A复制多次得到Ad,使得Ad刚好比B长,此时如果能够在Ad中找到字串B,则返回重复次数,如果不能则最多再加上一个A,再来用find函数查找B,a.find(b,pos,n)在a中查找string b,起始点为pos。:
class Solution {
public:
int repeatedStringMatch(string a, string b) {
string as = a;
for (int rep = 1; rep <= b.length() / a.length() + 2; rep++, as += a)
if (as.find(b) != string::npos) return rep;
return -1;
}
};
