Given a pattern
and a string str
, find if str
follows the same pattern.
Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern
and a non-empty word in str
.
Examples:
- pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return true. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat fish"
should return false. - pattern =
"aaaa"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return false. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog dog dog dog"
should return false
public class Solution { //if不用hashmap,更好的方法是设置头尾“指针”,保证一个指向当前的值 public boolean wordPattern(String pattern, String str) { String[] strs = str.split(" "); if (pattern.length() != strs.length) return false; Map<Character, String> map = new HashMap<Character, String>(); for (int i = 0; i < pattern.length(); i++) { if (map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i)) && !(map.get(pattern.charAt(i))).equals(strs[i])) return false; if (!map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i)) && map.containsValue(strs[i])) return false; if (!map.containsKey(pattern.charAt(i)) && !map.containsValue(strs[i])) map.put(pattern.charAt(i), strs[i]); } return true; } }
