301. Remove Invalid Parenthesis
问题:
Remove the minimum number of invalid parentheses in order to make the input string valid. Return all possible results.
Note: The input string may contain letters other than the parentheses ( and ).
Examples:
"()())()" -> ["()()()", "(())()"]
"(a)())()" -> ["(a)()()", "(a())()"]
")(" -> [""]
解答:
这题是看discuss里面的dietpanda的代码:
public void remove(String s, List<String> result, int last_i, int last_j, char[] par) {
for (int stack = 0, i = last_i; i < s.length(); i++) {
if (s.charAt(i) == par[0]) stack++;
if (s.charAt(i) == par[1]) stack--;
//如果'('比')'大或等的话,就继续扫下去
if (stack >= 0) continue;
//否则,我们就找到当前有可能删去的')',然后删掉看新的string
for (int j = last_j; j <= i; j++) {
if (s.charAt(j) == par[1] && (j == last_j || s.charAt(j - 1) != par[1])) {
remove(s.substring(0, j) + s.substring(j + 1, s.length()), result, i, j, par);
}
}
return;
}
String reversed = new StringBuilder(s).reverse().toString();
//如果只从左到右扫了,par[0]还是'('的时候,我们还要再从右往左扫一遍
if (par[0] == '(') {
remove(reversed, result, 0, 0, new char[]{')', '('});
} else {
//否则两遍都扫完了,就加入结果中去
result.add(reversed);
}
}
public List<String> removeInvalidParentheses(String s) {
List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
remove(s, result, 0, 0, new char[]{'(', ')'});
return result;
}
