LeetCode 839. Similar String Groups

原题链接在这里:https://leetcode.com/problems/similar-string-groups/

题目:

Two strings X and Y are similar if we can swap two letters (in different positions) of X, so that it equals Y. Also two strings X and Y are similar if they are equal.

For example, "tars" and "rats" are similar (swapping at positions 0 and 2), and "rats" and "arts" are similar, but "star" is not similar to "tars""rats", or "arts".

Together, these form two connected groups by similarity: {"tars", "rats", "arts"} and {"star"}.  Notice that "tars" and "arts" are in the same group even though they are not similar.  Formally, each group is such that a word is in the group if and only if it is similar to at least one other word in the group.

We are given a list A of strings.  Every string in A is an anagram of every other string in A.  How many groups are there?

Example 1:

Input: A = ["tars","rats","arts","star"]
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • 1 <= A.length <= 2000
  • 1 <= A[i].length <= 1000
  • A.length * A[i].length <= 20000
  • All words in A consist of lowercase letters only.
  • All words in A have the same length and are anagrams of each other.
  • The judging time limit has been increased for this question.

题解:

For two strings, if they are similar, put into one union find group.

Eventually, return union find size.

To check if two string are similar, count the chars that they are different, if res > 2, return false.

Time Complexity: O(n^2 * (len+logn)). With path compression and rank by weight, amortized time complexity wouldbe O(n^2*len). n = A.length. len = string length.

Space: O(n*len).
