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.
class Solution { public: bool isScramble(string s1, string s2) { int len = s1.length(); int lenS2 = s2.length(); if (len != lenS2) { return false; } if (s1 == s2) { return true; } int count[256] = {0}; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { count[s1[i]]++; count[s2[i]]--; } for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) { if (count[i] != 0) { return false; } } for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) { if (isScramble(s1.substr(0, i), s2.substr(0, i)) && isScramble(s1.substr(i), s2.substr(i))) { return true; } if (isScramble(s1.substr(0, i), s2.substr(len-i)) && isScramble(s1.substr(i), s2.substr(0, len-i))) { return true; } } return false; } };
