Given a string s and a string t, check if s is subsequence of t.
You may assume that there is only lower case English letters in both s and t. t is potentially a very long (length ~= 500,000) string, and s is a short string (<=100).
A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ace"
is
a subsequence of "abcde"
while "aec"
is
not).
Example 1:
s = "abc"
, t = "ahbgdc"
Return true
.
Example 2:
s = "axc"
, t = "ahbgdc"
Return false
.
Follow up:
If there are lots of incoming S, say S1, S2, ... , Sk where k >= 1B, and you want to check one by one to see if T has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?
要保持原顺序不变才算子序列,那么只要扫描一遍s,对于字符s.CharAt(i),在t中的位置如果是j,则下次查找只从串t的j+1位置开始。
若s中的字符在t中检索到了末尾仍然没有找到则失败(s不是t的子序列)
public class Solution {
public boolean isSubsequence(String s, String t)
{
int slen=s.length(),tlen=t.length();
int start=0;
for(int i=0;i<slen;i++)
{
char c=s.charAt(i);
int j;
for(j=start;j<tlen;j++)
if(t.charAt(j)==c)
{
start=j+1;
break;
}
if(j==tlen)
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
