题目描述

Given a string array words, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j]) where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.

Example 1:

Input: ["abcw","baz","foo","bar","xtfn","abcdef"]

Output: 16

Explanation: The two words can be "abcw", "xtfn".

Example 2:

Input: ["a","ab","abc","d","cd","bcd","abcd"]

Output: 4

Explanation: The two words can be "ab", "cd".

Example 3:

Input: ["a","aa","aaa","aaaa"]

Output: 0

Explanation: No such pair of words.

题目大意

找出两个不包含重复字符的字符串长度乘积最大值。

解题方法

set

重点是不包含重复字符，显然可以用set统计每个字符串中出现的字符，然后利用O(n^2)的时间复杂度暴力求解，竟然过了！

Python代码如下：

class Solution:

    def maxProduct(self, words):

        """

        :type words: List[str]

        :rtype: int

        """

        word_dict = dict()

        for word in words:

            word_dict[word] = set(word)

        max_len = 0

        for i1, w1 in enumerate(words):

            for i2 in range(i1+1, len(words)):

                w2 = words[i2]

                if not (word_dict[w1] & word_dict[w2]):

                    max_len = max(max_len, len(w1) * len(w2))

        return max_len

位运算

这个是个巧妙的方法。我们知道int有32位，而英文小写字符只有26个，所以，对于一个字符串，把其出现过的字符对应到int上去，那么这个int就能当做这个字符串的摘要，表示这个这个字符串中都有哪些字符。

我们把每个字符串都形成一个摘要，这样只要两个字符串的摘要想与之后的结果是0，那么说明两个字符串没有公共字符。

是不是感觉这个方法似曾相识呢？没错，这个很类似布隆过滤器啊！

python代码如下：

class Solution(object):

    def maxProduct(self, words):

        """

        :type words: List[str]

        :rtype: int

        """

        res = 0

        d = collections.defaultdict(int)

        N = len(words)

        for i in range(N):

            w = words[i]

            for c in w:

                d[w] |= 1 << (ord(c) - ord('a'))

            for j in range(i):

                if not d[words[j]] & d[words[i]]:

                    res = max(res, len(words[j]) * len(words[i]))

        return res
