459. Repeated Substring Pattern

Posted 2020-08-21 鱼与海洋

Given a non-empty string check if it can be constructed by taking a substring of it and appending multiple copies of the substring together. You may assume the given string consists of lowercase English letters only and its length will not exceed 10000.

Example 1:

Input: "abab"

Output: True

Explanation: It‘s the substring "ab" twice.

 

Example 2:

Input: "aba"

Output: False

 

Example 3:

Input: "abcabcabcabc"

Output: True

Explanation: It‘s the substring "abc" four times. (And the substring "abcabc" twice.)

public class Solution {
    public boolean repeatedSubstringPattern(String str) {
        if(str == null || str.length() == 0) return true;
        for(int i = str.length()/2 ; i >= 1 ; i--){
            if(str.length() % i == 0){
                int m = str.length()/i;
                String repeatP = str.substring(0,i);
                int j = 0;
                for(; j < m ; j++){
                    if(!repeatP.equals(str.substring(i*j, i+j*i))) break;
                }
                if(j == m) return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
