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.

[解题思路]
首先想到的是递归,简单明了,对两个string进行partition,然后比较四个字符串段。但是递归的话,这个时间复杂度比较高。然后想到能否DP,但是即使用DP的话,也要O(n^3)。想想算了,还是在递归里做些剪枝,这样就可以避免冗余计算:
- 对于每两个要比较的partition,统计他们字符出现次数,如果不相等返回。
上网搜了一下,有人说可以O(n)做出来。 http://www.mitbbs.com/article_t/JobHunting/32114513.html
但是我没办法证明他这个算法的正确性。感觉这道题应该有O(n)的解法,一时想不出来。
