[LeetCode] 245. Shortest Word Distance III 最短单词距离 III

Posted 2021-01-09 轻风舞动

This is a follow up of Shortest Word Distance. The only difference is now word1 could be the same as word2.

Given a list of words and two words word1 and word2, return the shortest distance between these two words in the list.

word1 and word2 may be the same and they represent two individual words in the list.

For example,
Assume that words = ["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"].

Given word1 = “makes”, word2 = “coding”, return 1.
Given word1 = "makes", word2 = "makes", return 3.

Note:
You may assume word1 and word2 are both in the list.

Python:

# Time:  O(n)
# Space: O(1)
class Solution:
    # @param {string[]} words
    # @param {string} word1
    # @param {string} word2
    # @return {integer}
    def shortestWordDistance(self, words, word1, word2):
        dist = float("inf")
        is_same = (word1 == word2)
        i, index1, index2 = 0, None, None
        while i < len(words):
            if words[i] == word1:
                if is_same and index1 is not None:
                    dist = min(dist, abs(index1 - i))
                index1 = i
            elif words[i] == word2:
                index2 = i

            if index1 is not None and index2 is not None:
                dist = min(dist, abs(index1 - index2))
            i += 1

        return dist

　　

C++:

class Solution {
public:
    int shortestWordDistance(vector<string>& words, string word1, string word2) {
        int p1 = -1, p2 = -1, res = INT_MAX;
        for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); ++i) {
            int t = p1;
            if (words[i] == word1) p1 = i;
            if (words[i] == word2) p2 = i;
            if (p1 != -1 && p2 != -1) {
                if (word1 == word2 && t != -1 && t != p1) {
                    res = min(res, abs(t - p1));
                } else if (p1 != p2) {
                    res = min(res, abs(p1 - p2));
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};

C++:

class Solution {
public:
    int shortestWordDistance(vector<string>& words, string word1, string word2) {
        int p1 = words.size(), p2 = -words.size(), res = INT_MAX;
        for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); ++i) {
            if (words[i] == word1) p1 = word1 == word2 ? p2 : i;
            if (words[i] == word2) p2 = i;
            res = min(res, abs(p1 - p2));
        }
        return res;
    }
};

C++:　　

class Solution {
public:
    int shortestWordDistance(vector<string>& words, string word1, string word2) {
        int idx = -1, res = INT_MAX;
        for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); ++i) {
            if (words[i] == word1 || words[i] == word2) {
                if (idx != -1 && (word1 == word2 || words[i] != words[idx])) {
                    res = min(res, i - idx);
                }
                idx = i;
            }

        return res;
    }
