97. Interleaving String

Given s1, s2, s3, find whether s3 is formed by the interleaving of s1 and s2.

For example,
Given:
s1 = "aabcc",
s2 = "dbbca",

When s3 = "aadbbcbcac", return true.
When s3 = "aadbbbaccc", return false.

题解
s3能否由s1, s2中的字符，保留前后顺序构造而成。

一刷：
方法一，二维dynamic programming。用dp[i][j]表示s3的前i+j个prefix可否由s1中前i个字符和s2中的前j个字符构成，则dp[i][j] = (dp[i - 1][j] && s1.charAt(i - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1)) || (dp[i][j - 1] && s2.charAt(j - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1))

Time complexity: O(mn). dp array of size mn is filled.
Space complexity: O(m*n)

public class Solution {
   public boolean isInterleave(String s1, String s2, String s3) {
        if (s3.length() != s1.length() + s2.length()) {
            return false;
        }
        boolean dp[][] = new boolean[s1.length() + 1][s2.length() + 1];
        for (int i = 0; i <= s1.length(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j <= s2.length(); j++) {
                if (i == 0 && j == 0) {
                    dp[i][j] = true;
                } else if (i == 0) {
                    dp[i][j] = dp[i][j - 1] && s2.charAt(j - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1);
                } else if (j == 0) {
                    dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] && s1.charAt(i - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1);
                } else {
                    dp[i][j] = (dp[i - 1][j] && s1.charAt(i - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1)) || (dp[i][j - 1] && s2.charAt(j - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1));
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[s1.length()][s2.length()];
    }
}

理论上，仅用到相邻状态时，都可以将二维数组转化为一维数组。注意，将上式中的dp[i - 1][j]替换为dp[i]，表示上一层i的状态。

public class Solution {
    public boolean isInterleave(String s1, String s2, String s3) {
        if (s3.length() != s1.length() + s2.length()) {
            return false;
        }
        boolean dp[] = new boolean[s2.length() + 1];
        for (int i = 0; i <= s1.length(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j <= s2.length(); j++) {
                if (i == 0 && j == 0) {
                    dp[j] = true;
                } else if (i == 0) {
                    dp[j] = dp[j - 1] && s2.charAt(j - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1);
                } else if (j == 0) {
                    dp[j] = dp[j] && s1.charAt(i - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1);
                } else {
                    dp[j] = (dp[j] && s1.charAt(i - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1)) || (dp[j - 1] && s2.charAt(j - 1) == s3.charAt(i + j - 1));
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[s2.length()];
    }
}

二刷
思路同上。
