Given a string which consists of lowercase or uppercase letters, find the length of the longest palindromes that can be built with those letters.
This is case sensitive, for example "Aa"
is not considered a palindrome
here.
Note:
Assume the length of given string will not exceed 1,010.
Example:
Input: "abccccdd" Output: 7 Explanation: One longest palindrome that can be built is "dccaccd", whose length is 7.思路是统计每个字母出现的次数,然后累加次数除以2的商,也就是找相同的字母凑对儿,最后比较count和原字符串想不想等,不等说明有落单,可以加到回文字符串的最中间。实现方式不同,速度不同。采用hashmap比用数组直接存次数要慢。hashmap代码如下:
public class Solution {
public int longestPalindrome(String s) {
HashMap<Character, Integer> hm = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i ++) {
if (hm.containsKey(chars[i])) {
hm.put(chars[i], hm.get(chars[i]) + 1);
} else {
hm.put(chars[i], 1);
}
}
int count = 0;
Iterator iter = hm.entrySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
Integer value = (Integer)entry.getValue();
count += value >> 1;
}
count = count << 1;
if (count != chars.length) {
count ++;
}
return count;
}
}
数组直接存的代码如下:
public int longestPalindrome(String s) {
int[] lowercase = new int[26];
int[] uppercase = new int[26];
int res = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
char temp = s.charAt(i);
if (temp >= 97) lowercase[temp-'a']++;
else uppercase[temp-'A']++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++){
res+=(lowercase[i]/2)*2;
res+=(uppercase[i]/2)*2;
}
return res == s.length() ? res : res+1;
}
