leetcode5- Longest Palindromic Substring- medium

Posted 2020-10-16 jasminemzy

Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.

Example:

Input: "babad"

Output: "bab"

Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

 

Example:

Input: "cbbd"

Output: "bb"

 

1. O(n2 * l)复杂度做。双层for循环，每次重新调用这个substring是不是palindrome的方程。

2.O(n2)复杂度做。DP。boolean dp[i][j]定义为s.substring(i, j + 1)是不是回文串。状态转移方程是：dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && (j - i < 3 || dp[i + 1][j - 1]); 

细节：1.不用担心i+1, j-1超过范围，因为i,j能进for循环说明满足要求了，而且i比j小，所以i+1最大到j，j-1最小到i，都是合格的。 2.需要担心i+1, j-1之间出现交叉，避免方式就是加上j-i < 3的限制，当两者靠的足够近有交叉的风险的时候你就去人工认可。3.注意最后返回的字符串是s.substring(i, j+1)不是i,j。

 

DP实现

class Solution {
    public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
        if (s == null || s.length() == 0) {
            return "";
        }
        boolean[][] dp = new boolean[s.length()][s.length()];
        int ll = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        int[] index = new int[2];
        // the problem is  caused when i and j are too close and i + 1 may cross with j - 1, but if they are close enough we can
        // just say by ourself. i==j, true, i + 1 == j, true, i + 2 == j, true
        // dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && dp[i + 1][j - 1];
        for (int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            for (int j = i; j < s.length(); j++) {
                dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && (j - i < 3 || dp[i + 1][j - 1]);
                if(dp[i][j] && j - i > ll) {
                    ll = j - i;
                    index[0] = i;
                    index[1] = j;
                }
            }
        }
        return s.substring(index[0], index[1] + 1);
    }
    
}
