Problem
Given a string s1
, we may represent it as a binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.
Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great"
:
great
/ \
gr eat
/ \ / \
g r e at
/ \
a t
To scramble the string, we may choose any non-leaf node and swap its two children.
For example, if we choose the node "gr"
and swap its two children, it produces a scrambled string "rgeat"
.
rgeat
/ \
rg eat
/ \ / \
r g e at
/ \
a t
We say that "rgeat"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Similarly, if we continue to swap the children of nodes "eat"
and "at"
, it produces a scrambled string "rgtae"
.
rgtae
/ \
rg tae
/ \ / \
r g ta e
/ \
t a
We say that "rgtae"
is a scrambled string of "great"
.
Given two strings s1
and s2
of the same length, determine if s2
is a scrambled string of s1
.

Note
首先将两个字符串化成字符数组,排序后逐位比较,确定它们等长且具有相同数量的相同字符。
然后,从第一个字符开始向后遍历,判断s1
和s2
中以这个坐标为中点的左右两个子字符串是否满足第一步中互为scramble string的条件:
设s1
分为a1
和b1
,s2
分为a2
和b2
。若a1
和a2
满足且b1
和b2
满足(令a1
和a2
长度相等,b1
和b2
长度相等),或a1
和b2
满足且a2
和b1
满足(令a1
和b2
长度相等,a2
和b1
长度相等),就break出来,返回true
;
若遍历完s1
,仍旧没有满足条件的情况,返回false
。
Solution
public class Solution {
public boolean isScramble(String s1, String s2) {
if (s1.equals(s2)) return true;
char[] sc1 = s1.toCharArray();
char[] sc2 = s2.toCharArray();
Arrays.sort(sc1);
Arrays.sort(sc2);
for (int i = 0; i < sc1.length; i++) {
if (sc1[i] != sc2[i]) return false;
}
int mid = 1;
boolean res = false;
while (mid < s1.length()) {
res = (isScramble(s1.substring(0, mid), s2.substring(0, mid)) &&
isScramble(s1.substring(mid, s1.length()), s2.substring(mid, s2.length())))
|| (isScramble(s1.substring(0, mid), s2.substring(s2.length()-mid, s2.length())) &&
isScramble(s1.substring(mid, s1.length()), s2.substring(0, s2.length()-mid)));
if (res) break;
mid++;
}
return res;
}
