LeetCode-127-Word Ladder

form note 隊列 urn 構建 one 發現 nsf 列存儲

算法描述:

Given two words (beginWord and endWord), and a dictionary‘s word list, find the length of shortest transformation sequence from beginWord to endWord, such that:

  1. Only one letter can be changed at a time.
  2. Each transformed word must exist in the word list. Note that beginWord is not a transformed word.

Note:

  • Return 0 if there is no such transformation sequence.
  • All words have the same length.
  • All words contain only lowercase alphabetic characters.
  • You may assume no duplicates in the word list.
  • You may assume beginWord and endWord are non-empty and are not the same.

Example 1:

Input:
beginWord = "hit",
endWord = "cog",
wordList = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log","cog"]

Output: 5

Explanation: As one shortest transformation is "hit" -> "hot" -> "dot" -> "dog" -> "cog",
return its length 5.

Example 2:

Input:
beginWord = "hit"
endWord = "cog"
wordList = ["hot","dot","dog","lot","log"]

Output: 0

Explanation: The endWord "cog" is not in wordList, therefore no possible transformation.

解題思路:廣度優先搜索。用一個隊列存儲可能的候選字符串。用set 構建字典,並去重。對於每一個字符串,逐一選替換每一位字符,如果發現字典中存在這樣的字符,則將該字符串加入到隊列中,並在字典中取出該字符串。

    int
ladderLength(string beginWord, string endWord, vector<string>& wordList) { unordered_set<string> dict(wordList.begin(),wordList.end()); if(dict.find(endWord)==dict.end()) return 0; queue<string> que; que.push(beginWord); int level = 0; while(!que.empty()){ level++; int levelSize = que.size(); for(int i=0; i < levelSize; i++){ string word = que.front(); que.pop(); for(int j =0; j < beginWord.size(); j++){ char orginal_char = word[j]; for(char c = a; c <= z; c++){ word[j] = c; if(word == endWord) return level+1; if(dict.find(word)==dict.end()) continue; que.push(word); dict.erase(word); } word[j]=orginal_char; } } } return 0; }
