Given a string S and a string T, find the minimum window in S which will contain all the characters in T in complexity O(n).
For example,
S = "ADOBECODEBANC"
T = "ABC"
Minimum window is "BANC"
.
Note:
If there is no such window in S that covers all characters in T, return the emtpy string ""
.
If there are multiple such windows, you are guaranteed that there will always be only one unique minimum window in S.
解题思路:
涉及到查找操作,将T放进tMap中,同时创建一个保存T中所有字符(不重复)的图sMap,用一个计数器表示sMap和tMap的重合程度,一旦sMap包含了tMap即找到了一组解,通过收缩begin指针获取刚好包含tMap的位置,之后就是比较大小了,JAVA实现如下:
public String minWindow(String s, String t) {
HashMap<Character, Integer> tMap = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
HashMap<Character, Integer> sMap = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
for (int i=0;i<t.length();i++){
sMap.put(t.charAt(i), 0);
if (!tMap.containsKey(t.charAt(i)))
tMap.put(t.charAt(i), 1);
else
tMap.put(t.charAt(i), tMap.get(t.charAt(i)) + 1);
}
int begin=0,count=0,minBegin=0,length=s.length()+1;;
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
if(!tMap.containsKey(s.charAt(i)))
continue;
sMap.put(s.charAt(i), sMap.get(s.charAt(i))+1);
if(sMap.get(s.charAt(i))<=tMap.get(s.charAt(i)))
count++;
if(count==t.length()){
for(int j=begin;j<=i;j++){
if(!tMap.containsKey(s.charAt(j)))
continue;
if(sMap.get(s.charAt(j))>tMap.get(s.charAt(j))){
sMap.put(s.charAt(j),sMap.get(s.charAt(j))-1);
continue;
}
sMap.put(s.charAt(j),sMap.get(s.charAt(j))-1);
count--;
begin=j+1;
if(length>i-j){
length=i-j;
minBegin=j;
}
break;
}
}
}
return length!=s.length()+1?s.substring(minBegin, minBegin+length+1):"";
}
