题目:
Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.
Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.
Note:
You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.
canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true
思路:
Easy级别的题目。一种做法是建立哈希表,但是由于题目限定了string中只包含小写字母,所以我们用一个定长数组来实现,效率更高。
代码:
class Solution {
public:
bool canConstruct(string ransomNote, string magazine) {
vector<int> counts(26, 0);
for(int i = 0; i < magazine.size(); ++i) {
int index = magazine[i] - 'a';
counts[index]++;
}
for(int i = 0; i < ransomNote.size(); ++i) {
int index = ransomNote[i] - 'a';
if(--counts[index] < 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
};
本文介绍了一种简单而有效的算法,用于判断一个给定的勒索信字符串是否可以从另一个包含杂志字母的字符串中构建出来。通过使用固定长度的计数数组而非哈希表,该方法在确保效率的同时也简化了实现。
