[LeetCode]

题目地址:https://leetcode.com/problems/ransom-note/

  • Difficulty: Easy

题目描述

Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.

Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.

Note:

You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.

canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true

题目大意

判断ransom能否由magazines的字符构成。

解题方法

Java解法

理解题意很关键,这个是说从magazine中取出几个元素排列组合能够摆成ransomNote。

参考Find the Difference的题目,做个有26个位置的数组,保存字符出现的次数,最后统计一下即可。

其中一个字符串的元素使位置元素++,另外个字符串使字符串–;

public class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) {
if(ransomNote.length() > magazine.length())
return false;
int []chars= new int[26];
for(int i=0; i< magazine.length(); i++){
chars[magazine.charAt(i)- 'a']++;
}
for(int i=0; i< ransomNote.length(); i++){
chars[ransomNote.charAt(i)- 'a']--;
if(chars[ransomNote.charAt(i)- 'a'] < 0){
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}

AC:18 ms

Python解法

直接Counter,然后判断前者的每个字符出现次数都小于后者即可。

class Solution:
def canConstruct(self, ransomNote, magazine):
"""
:type ransomNote: str
:type magazine: str
:rtype: bool
"""
rcount = collections.Counter(ransomNote)
mcount = collections.Counter(magazine)
for r, c in rcount.items():
if c > mcount[r]:
return False
return True
