Implement regular expression matching with support for '.'
and
'*'
.
'.' Matches any single character. '*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element. The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial). The function prototype should be: bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p) Some examples: isMatch("aa","a") → false isMatch("aa","aa") → true isMatch("aaa","aa") → false isMatch("aa", "a*") → true isMatch("aa", ".*") → true isMatch("ab", ".*") → true isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → true
这个题目可以用动态规划求解,根据p串第二个字符是否为‘*’分为两种情况。
以下分别是该题C和JAVA的实现,c实现起来比较方便,java则要注意数组会不会越界。
C语言:
bool isMatch(char* s, char* p) {
if(*p == '\0')
return *s == '\0';
if(*(p+1) != '*'){
if(*p == *s || (*p == '.' && *s != '\0' ) )
return isMatch( s+1 , p+1);
return false;
}
else {
while(*p == *s || (*p == '.' && *s != '\0' )){
if(isMatch(s,p+2))
return true;
s++;
}
return isMatch(s,p+2);
}
}
JAVA:
public class Solution {
public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
if("".equals(p))
return "".equals(s);
if(p.length() == 1 || p.charAt(1) != '*'){
if(!"".equals(s) && ( p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.' ) ){
return isMatch(s.substring(1),p.substring(1));
}
return false;
}
else{
while(!"".equals(s) && ( p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.' ) ){
if(isMatch(s, p.substring(2)))
return true;
s = s.substring(1);
}
return isMatch(s,p.substring(2));
}
}
}
