Given a string S and a string T, count the number of distinct subsequences of T in S.
A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ACE" is a subsequence of "ABCDE" while "AEC" is not).
Here is an example:
S = "rabbbit", T = "rabbit"
Return 3.
题目大意:删除S中某些位置的字符可以得到T,总共有几种不同的删除方法
设S的长度为lens,T的长度为lent
算法1:递归解法,首先,从个字符串S的尾部开始扫描,找到第一个和T最后一个字符相同的位置k,那么有下面两种匹配:a. T的最后一个字符和S[k]匹配,b. T的最后一个字符不和S[k]匹配。a相当于子问题:从S[0...lens-2]中删除几个字符得到T[0...lent-2],b相当于子问题:从S[0...lens-2]中删除几个字符得到T[0...lent-1]。那么总的删除方法等于a、b两种情况的删除方法的和。递归解法代码如下,但是通过大数据会超时:
1 class Solution { 2 public: 3 int numDistinct(string S, string T) { 4 // IMPORTANT: Please reset any member data you declared, as 5 // the same Solution instance will be reused for each test case. 6 return numDistanceRecur(S, S.length()-1, T, T.length()-1); 7 } 8 int numDistanceRecur(string &S, int send, string &T, int tend) 9 { 10 if(tend < 0)return 1; 11 else if(send < 0)return 0; 12 while(send >= 0 && S[send] != T[tend])send--; 13 if(send < 0)return 0; 14 return numDistanceRecur(S,send-1,T,tend-1) + numDistanceRecur(S,send-1,T,tend); 15 } 16 };
