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.
public class Solution {
public boolean isScramble(String s1, String s2) {
if(s1.equals(s2)) return true;// (s1 == s2) would be time limit exceeded, it compares memory location
int len = s1.length();
int sum1 = 0;
int sum2 = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++){
sum1 += s1.charAt(i) - 'a';
sum2 += s2.charAt(i) - 'a';
}
if(sum1 != sum2) return false;
for(int i = 1; i < len; i++){
if(isScramble(s1.substring(0,i), s2.substring(0,i)) && isScramble(s1.substring(i), s2.substring(i)))
return true;
if(isScramble(s1.substring(0,i), s2.substring(len-i)) && isScramble(s1.substring(i), s2.substring(0,len-i)))
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Sum is not a good way to compare.
