篇首语:本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理,主要介绍了3. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters相关的知识,希望对你有一定的参考价值。

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Examples:

Given "abcabcbb", the answer is "abc", which the length is 3.

Given "bbbbb", the answer is "b", with the length of 1.

Given "pwwkew", the answer is "wke", with the length of 3. Note that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring.

==================

题目:给定一个字符串,超出最长的没有重复元素的公共字串?

注意:结果的长度必须是字串的长度.

=========

思路:

假设字串中含有重复字符,则父串中一定含有重复字符,单个子问题就可以决定父问题,

因此可以考虑贪心法.

与动态规划的区别,在动态规划里,单个子问题只能影响父问题,不足以决定父问题.

=

从左向右扫描数组,当遇到重复字母时,以上一个重复字母的index+1,作为新的搜索起始位置,

直到最后一个字母,复杂度为O(n).

如图,

===========

code如下:

public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s){
        int length = s.size();
        vector<int> record(255,-1);
        int start = 0;//record the start location of current string

        int max_len = 0;
        for(int i = 0;i<length;i++){
            if(record[s[i]] >= start){
                max_len = max(max_len,i-start);
                start = record[s[i]]+1;
            }
            record[s[i]] = i;
        }///for

        return max(max_len,length-start);
    }
};

=====

这里使用了一种很常用的方法,利用有限数组来判断重复元素的存在(!!!!这是很重要的一种思想,很多leetcode上面的题都会借鉴这个思路).

在本题中就是 vector<int> record(255,-1);

为什么会定义255个,因为ascii码包括所有的ascii编码.
