[LeetCode] Shortest Palindrome

Given a string S, you are allowed to convert it to a palindrome by adding characters in front of it. Find and return the shortest palindrome you can find by performing this transformation.html

For example:算法

Given "aacecaaa", return "aaacecaaa".this

Given "abcd", return "dcbabcd".spa

其實問題能夠轉化成求從s[0]開始的最長迴文,找到以s[0]開始的最長迴文,將剩下的部分倒序補在字符串前面就是答案。在找以s[0]開始的迴文的時候,能夠從後向前枚舉迴文結束的字符,在第一個找到的地方退出便可。最壞狀況下時間複雜度爲O(n^2),用C語言提交AC,704ms。htm

 1 bool isPalindrom(char* s, int start, int end) {
 2     while (start < end) {
 3         if (s[start] != s[end]) return false;
 4         ++start; --end;
 5     }
 6     return true;
 7 }
 8 
 9 char* shortestPalindrome(char* s) {
10     int pos = strlen(s) - 1;
11     for (; pos > 0; --pos) {
12         if (s[pos] == s[0] && isPalindrom(s, 0, pos)) break;
13     }
14     char* res = (char*) malloc(2 * strlen(s) - pos);
15     int idx = 0;
16     for (int i = strlen(s) - 1; i > pos; --i) res[idx++] = s[i];
17     strcpy(res + idx, s);
18     return res;
19 }

可是用C++提交後超時,可能這並非最佳的答案吧,想到更好的方法後再回來補上代碼(已經想到了,見後文)。blog

 1 class Solution {
 2 public:
 3     bool isPalindrom(string &s, int start, int end) {
 4         while (start < end) {
 5             if (s[start] != s[end]) return false;
 6             ++start; --end;
 7         }
 8         return true;
 9     }
10     string shortestPalindrome(string s) {
11         int pos = s.length() - 1;
12         if (pos == 0) return s;
13         for (; pos > 0; --pos) {
14             if (s[pos] == s[0] && isPalindrom(s, 0, pos)) break;
15         }
16         string res;
17         for (int i = s.length() - 1; i > pos; --i) res.push_back(s[i]);
18         res += s;
19         return res;
20     }
21 };

 

求最長迴文的Manacher算法時間複雜度爲O(n),能夠用在這裏,可是在判斷最長迴文的時候須要加一個條件,就是隻比較那些以s[0]開始的迴文,而根據Manacher算法的特性,id == p[id]時迴文必定是從s[0]開始的。因此下面也是用C++寫能夠AC的代碼,由於時間複雜度是O(n),因此只用了16ms。關於Manacher算法,能夠看我另外一篇文章:ci
