Description:
Given a string array words
, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j])
where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.
Example 1:
Given ["abcw", "baz", "foo", "bar", "xtfn", "abcdef"]
Return 16
The two words can be "abcw", "xtfn"
.
Example 2:
Given ["a", "ab", "abc", "d", "cd", "bcd", "abcd"]
Return 4
The two words can be "ab", "cd"
.
Example 3:
Given ["a", "aa", "aaa", "aaaa"]
Return 0
No such pair of words.

题目大意:找出不包含相同字母的单词长度乘积的最大值
思路:最容易想到的办法应该是3层循环枚举,找出最大值,复杂度是O(n^2*k),k为单词的长度。在此基础上优化,优化判断两个单词是否包含相同字母部分,可以使用26位的整数来表示单词的字母情况,每个字母在这个整数的二进制数中都有一个位置,如果为1代表包含这个字母,否则相反。再通过两个整数按位与来判断是否包含相同字母,如果不包含相同字母则两个整数的二进制数中必然没有对应位置都为1的位,则按位与后得0。这样优化之后复杂度变为O(n^2)。还可以再优化,可以预先把字符串数组按长度降序排序,这样在寻找最大乘积的时候就可以尽早的找到,不做过多的计算。但是这种优化不是一定能提高效率的,因为如果遇到最后的结果是比较小的情况,并不能避免大量的计算,还增加了排序的开销。
含有排序优化的实现代码:
public class Solution { public int maxProduct(String[] words) { int[] map = new int[words.length]; //长度由大到小排序 Arrays.sort(words, new Comparator<String>() { public int compare(String s1, String s2) { return s2.length() - s1.length(); } }); //用26位整数记录包含字母的情况 for(int i=0; i<words.length; i++) { int bit = 0; for(int j=0; j<words[i].length(); j++) { bit |= (1 << words[i].charAt(j) - ‘a‘); } map[i] = bit; } int max = 0; //找出满足条件的最大乘积 for(int i=0; i<words.length; i++) { if(words[i].length()*words[i].length() <= max) break; //往后没有更大的了 for(int j=i+1; j<words.length; j++) { if((map[i] & map[j]) == 0) { //没有相同的字母 max = Math.max(max, words[i].length() * words[j].length()); //一次循环中最大的 break; } } } return max; } }
