Given a pattern
and a string str
, find if str
follows the same pattern.
Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern
and a non-empty word in str
.
Examples:
- pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return true. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat fish"
should return false. - pattern =
"aaaa"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return false. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog dog dog dog"
should return falsepublic class Solution { //if不用hashmap,更好的方法是设置头尾“指针”,保证一个指向当前的值
public boolean wordPattern(String pattern, String str) {
String[] strs = str.split(" ");
if (pattern.length() != strs.length)
return false;
Map<Character, String> map = new HashMap<Character, String>();
for (int i = 0; i < pattern.length(); i++) {
if (map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i))
&& !(map.get(pattern.charAt(i))).equals(strs[i]))
return false;
if (!map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i))
&& map.containsValue(strs[i]))
return false;
if (!map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i))
&& !map.containsValue(strs[i]))
map.put(pattern.charAt(i), strs[i]);
}
return true;
}
}
