Word Pattern

Given apatternand a stringstr, find ifstrfollows the same pattern.

Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter inpatternand a non-empty word instr.

Example

Example 1:

Input: pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input:pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat fish"
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: pattern = "aaaa", str = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: false

Example 4:

Input: pattern = "abba", str = "dog dog dog dog"
Output: false

Notes: You may assumepatterncontains only lowercase letters, andstrcontains lowercase letters separated by a single space.

Note

建立mapping:key是character,value是word

set记录出现的word

必须是双向映射:

  • 当key存在,mapping对应的单词不相同时,就false

  • 当value存在,mapping对应的字符不存在,就false

Time:O(n) - pattern length

Space:O(n)

Code

public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param pattern: a string, denote pattern string
     * @param str: a string, denote matching string
     * @return: an boolean, denote whether the pattern string and the matching string match or not
     */
    public boolean wordPattern(String pattern, String str) {
        // write your code here
        char[] patterns = pattern.toCharArray();
        String[] words = str.split(" ");

        Map<Character, String> map = new HashMap<>();
        Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();

        for (int i = 0; i < patterns.length; i++) {
            if (map.containsKey(patterns[i])) {
                if (!map.get(patterns[i]).equals(words[i])) {
                    return false;
                }
                continue;
            }

            if (set.contains(words[i])) {
                return false;
            }

            map.put(patterns[i], words[i]);
            set.add(words[i]);
        }

        return true;
    }
}
