题目:你有一个文本文件,每行一个单词。给定两个单词,请找出这两个单词在文件中出现的其中一对位置,使得这两个位置的距离最短。
解法:我的思路是建立倒排索引,计算出所有单词出现的所有位置。下面代码只给出了两个索引的处理方法。倒排索引一般以链表的形式出现,通过顺序扫描两个链表,类似归并排序算法中的merge过程,就能够找出最短距离。请看代码。
代码:
1 // 18.5 Given a text file containing words, find the shortest distance between two words.
2 #include <algorithm>
3 #include <climits>
4 using namespace std;
5
6 struct ListNode {
7 int val;
8 ListNode *next;
9 ListNode(int _val = 0): val(_val), next(nullptr) {};
10 };
11
12 class Solution {
13 public:
14 int minDist(ListNode *head1, ListNode *head2)
15 {
16 // the two list records the forward indices of two word, i.e. their occurrence position.
17 // For example, 1->4->5->nullptr means the word appears at 1st, 4th and 5th line.
18
19 int min_dist = INT_MAX;
20 ListNode *p1, *p2;
21
22 p1 = head1;
23 p2 = head2;
24 while (p1 != nullptr && p2 != nullptr) {
25 if (p1->val < p2->val) {
26 min_dist = min(min_dist, p2->val - p1->val);
27 p1 = p1->next;
28 } else {
29 min_dist = min(min_dist, p1->val - p2->val);
30 p2 = p2->next;
31 }
32 }
33
34 return min_dist;
35 }
36 };
