- Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters
虽然这是一个hash table的题目,但是我的第一反应是用一个长为26的array来储存已经出现过的character信息的方法。但是我又想使用two pointer的方法,所以必须在挪动pointer的时候要知道start要挪向哪里。而只用array来记录信息的话只能记住在某个区间character出现的次数,无法记住character出现的位置。
所以还是必须使用hash table的方法,用key来记录character,value来记录这个character最后出现的位置。
class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
// key: character; value: the last appear index
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
int maxCount = 0, count = 0, start = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
if (map.containsKey(c)) {
int pos = map.get(c);
if (pos >= start) {
maxCount = Math.max(maxCount, count);
count = i - pos;
start = pos + 1;
} else {
count++;
}
} else {
count++;
}
map.put(c, i);
}
maxCount = Math.max(maxCount, count);
return maxCount;
}
}
- Copy List with Random Pointer
LinkedList的deep copy问题
这题想法挺简单的。先在每个node后面复制这个node,得到A -> A' -> B -> B'这种形式,在加上random node,最后把两个list分隔开。
但是实现过程中还是有很多坑的,因为是copy问题,所以最后的结果中不能将最初的list破坏。
/*
// Definition for a Node.
class Node {
public int val;
public Node next;
public Node random;
public Node() {}
public Node(int _val,Node _next,Node _random) {
val = _val;
next = _next;
random = _random;
}
};
*/
class Solution {
public Node copyRandomList(Node head) {
if (head == null) {
return head;
}
// copy each node
Node ptr = head;
while (ptr != null) {
Node newNode = new Node(ptr.val);
Node next = ptr.next;
ptr.next = newNode;
newNode.next = next;
ptr = next;
}
// add random to the new copied node
ptr = head;
while (ptr != null) {
ptr.next.random = (ptr.random == null)? null: ptr.random.next;
ptr = ptr.next.next;
}
// seperate these two node
Node new_head = head.next, old_head = head;
Node res = new_head;
while (old_head != null && old_head.next.next != null) {
old_head.next = new_head.next;
new_head.next = new_head.next.next;
old_head = old_head.next;
new_head = new_head.next;
}
old_head.next = null;
return res;
}
}
- Happy Number
这道题很明显应当用recursion的解法,但recursion需要base case,在这里bestcase 最小的即使单个数字,因此现自己计算个位数是否是happy number作为base case。
class Solution {
public boolean isHappy(int n) {
if (n <= 0) {
return false;
}
// recursion
// base case: when n < 10, only when n = 1 or 7 it is happy number
if (n < 10) {
if (n == 1 || n == 7) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
int sum = 0;
while (n > 0) {
sum += (n%10)*(n%10);
n /= 10;
}
return isHappy(sum);
}
}
