[leetcode] Regular Expression Matching

Implement regular expression matching with support for'.'and'*'.

'.' 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

思路1：遞歸。根據下一個字符是不是'*'分狀況判斷。

1. 若是p的下一個字符不是'*'，只需判斷當前字符是否相等，或者p[cur]='.'，遞歸處理s[1]和p[1]；
2. 若是是p的下一個'*'，則當前s和p相等或者p='.'狀況下，依次判斷s[0...s.length]和p2]是否match；

思路2：自動機？有待研究。

思路3：DP。

 

遞歸代碼：

public class Solution {
	public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
		if (s == null)
			return p == null;
		if (p == null)
			return s == null;

		int lenS = s.length();
		int lenP = p.length();

		if (lenP == 0)
			return lenS == 0;

		if (lenP == 1) {
			if (p.equals(s) || p.equals(".") && s.length() == 1) {
				return true;
			} else
				return false;
		}
		if (p.charAt(1) != '*') {
			if (s.length() > 0
					&& (p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.')) {
				return isMatch(s.substring(1), p.substring(1));
			}
			return false;
		} else {
			while (s.length() > 0
					&& (p.charAt(0) == s.charAt(0) || p.charAt(0) == '.')) {
				if (isMatch(s, p.substring(2)))
					return true;
				s = s.substring(1);
			}
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　//don's skip this line, s is now ""
			return isMatch(s, p.substring(2));
		}

	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aa", "a"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aa", "aa"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aaa", "aa"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aa", "a*"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aa", ".*"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("ab", ".*"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("aab", "c*a*b"));
		
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("", ""));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("abcdeff", ".*"));
		 System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("a", "ab*"));
		System.out.println(new Solution().isMatch("bb", ".bab"));

	}

}

 

 

 

第二遍記錄：

　　注意遞歸終止條件的判斷，null的狀況，而後根據p的長度分狀況討論。

　　注意有*時候的處理

public class Solution {
    public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
        if(s==null)
            return p==null;
        if(p==null)
            return s==null;
        int lenS=s.length();
        int lenP=p.length();
        if(lenP==0)
            return lenS==0;
        if(lenP==1){
            if(s.equals(p) || p.charAt(0)=='.'&& lenS==1)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
        if(p.charAt(1)!='*'){
            if(lenS>0&&(p.charAt(0)==s.charAt(0)||p.charAt(0)=='.'))
                return isMatch(s.substring(1),p.substring(1));
            return false;
        }
        else{
            while(lenS>0 && (p.charAt(0)==s.charAt(0)||p.charAt(0)=='.')){
                if(isMatch(s,p.substring(2)))
                    return true;
                s=s.substring(1);
                lenS--;
            }
　　　　　　　　//don't skip this line, s is now "".
            return isMatch(s,p.substring(2));
        }
        
    }
}

 

第三遍：開始沒往dp方向想，經某人指點。

public class Solution {
    public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
            int height = s.length(),width = p.length();
            boolean[][] dp = new boolean[height + 1][width + 1];
            dp[0][0] = true;
            for(int i = 1; i <= width; i++){
                if(p.charAt(i - 1) == '*') dp[0][i] = dp[0][i - 2];
            }
            for(int i = 1; i <= height; i++){
                for(int j = 1; j <= width; j++){
                    char sChar = s.charAt(i - 1);                
                    char pChar = p.charAt(j - 1);
                    if(sChar == pChar || pChar == '.'){
                        dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                    }else if(pChar == '*'){
                        if(sChar != p.charAt(j - 2) && p.charAt(j - 2) != '.'){
                            dp[i][j] = dp[i][j - 2];
                        }else{
                            dp[i][j] =  dp[i][j - 2] | dp[i - 1][j];
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return dp[height][width];
        }
}
