Regular Expression Matchinghtml
Implement regular expression matching with support for'.'
and '*'
.express
'.' Matches any single character. '*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element. The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial). The function prototype should be: bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p) Some examples: isMatch("aa","a") → false isMatch("aa","aa") → true isMatch("aaa","aa") → false isMatch("aa", "a*") → true isMatch("aa", ".*") → true isMatch("ab", ".*") → true isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → true
比較與Wildcard Matching的關係。spa
在Wildcard Matching中的'?'與此題的'.'一致。prototype
可是Wildcard Matching中'*'自己表明通配符,而此題'*'表明前一個字符重複0或若干次。code
解題過程以下:htm
一、考慮特殊狀況即*s字符串或者*p字符串結束。blog
(1)*s字符串結束,要求*p也結束或者間隔‘*’ (例如*p="a*b*c*……"),不然沒法匹配遞歸
(2)*s字符串未結束,而*p字符串結束,則沒法匹配ip
二、*s字符串與*p字符串均未結束element
(1)*(p+1)字符不爲'*',則只需比較*s字符與*p字符,若相等則遞歸到*(s+1)字符串與*(p+1)字符串的比較,不然沒法匹配。
(2)*(p+1)字符爲'*',則*p字符能夠匹配*s字符串中從0開始任意多(記爲i)等於*p的字符,而後遞歸到*(s+i+1)字符串與*(p+2)字符串的比較,
只要匹配一種狀況就算徹底匹配。
class Solution { public: bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p) { //entire match if(*s == 0) { if(*p == 0 || (*(p+1) == '*' && isMatch(s,p+2))) return true; else return false; } else if(*p == 0) return false; if(*(p+1) != '*') { if(*s == *p || *p == '.') return isMatch(s+1, p+1); else return false; } else { if(*s != *p && *p != '.') {//try matches 0 char, skip p and p+1 ('*') return isMatch(s, p+2); } else { //try matches 0 char, skip p and p+1 ('*') if(isMatch(s, p+2)) return true; int i = 0; while(*(s+i) == *p || *p == '.') {//try all the length '*' matches if(isMatch(s+i+1, p+2)) return true; if(*(s+i+1) == 0) //tried to end break; i ++; } return false; } } } };
