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
难度:难
代码:该题要理清思路 从p的length入手,分情况讨论
public class Solution {
public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.length() == 0)
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return s.length() == 0;
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (s.length() == 0) {
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.length() == 1)
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return false;
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.charAt(1) == '*')
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return isMatch(s, p.substring(2));
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return false;
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>}
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.length() == 1) {
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.charAt(0) == '.' && s.length() == 1)
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return true;
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return s.equals(p);
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>}
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.length() >= 2 && p.charAt(1) != '*') {
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>// if p(1) is not *, we need p(0) equals to s(0) or p(0) equals '.'
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>if (p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.'
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>&& s.length() != 0)
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>// check if the left is also match
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return isMatch(s.substring(1), p.substring(1));
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>return false;
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>} else {
<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>while (s.length() > 0
&& (p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.')) {
if (isMatch(s, p.substring(2)))
return true;

}
return isMatch(s, p.substring(2));}
