691. Stickers to Spell Word

作者:互联网

问题:

给定一堆单词卡,每个单词可以有无限张同样的卡片。

要从这些单词卡中选择一些,进行剪切拼接,要构成目标单词,求需要的最少卡片数量。

Example 1:
Input:
["with", "example", "science"], "thehat"
Output:
3
Explanation:
We can use 2 "with" stickers, and 1 "example" sticker.
After cutting and rearrange the letters of those stickers, we can form the target "thehat".
Also, this is the minimum number of stickers necessary to form the target string.

Example 2:
Input:
["notice", "possible"], "basicbasic"
Output:
-1
Explanation:
We can't form the target "basicbasic" from cutting letters from the given stickers.

Note:
stickers has length in the range [1, 50].
stickers consists of lowercase English words (without apostrophes).
target has length in the range [1, 15], and consists of lowercase English letters.
In all test cases, all words were chosen randomly from the 1000 most common US English words, and the target was chosen as a concatenation of two random words.
The time limit may be more challenging than usual. It is expected that a 50 sticker test case can be solved within 35ms on average.

  

解法:DFS(深度优先搜索)

 

♻️ 优化:

Optimization: If the target can be spelled out by a group of stickers, at least one of them has to contain character target[0]. So I explicitly require next sticker containing target[0], which significantly reduced the search space.

// 这个优化剪枝很神奇,可以避免潜在的对target完全没有贡献的sticker,暂时无法贡献的sticker等到其他sticker把部分target拼凑出来以后再贡献

代码参考:

 1 class Solution {
 2 public:
 3     //dp[s]: for string s, the min number of stickers need.
 4     unordered_map<string, int> dp;
 5     int dfs(vector<vector<int>>mp, string target) {
 6         //return already gotten result.
 7         if(dp.count(target)) return dp[target];
 8         //if not already got, then following process:
 9         int res = INT_MAX;
10         //get alphbet map of this target string.
11         vector<int>tgmp(26,0);
12         for(char a:target) {
13             tgmp[a-'a']++;
14         }
15         //opt: check every sticker
16         for(int j=0; j<mp.size(); j++) {
17             //every alphbet of this sticker
18             //optimization:
19             //If the target can be spelled out by a group of stickers, 
20             //at least one of them has to contain character target[0]. 
21             //So I explicitly require next sticker containing target[0], 
22             //which significantly reduced the search space.
23             if(mp[j][target[0]-'a']==0)continue;
24             //process
25             string nexttarget;
26             for(int i=0; i<26; i++) {
27                 if(tgmp[i]>mp[j][i]) {
28                     int leftAlphbetCount = tgmp[i]-mp[j][i];
29                     nexttarget += string(leftAlphbetCount, 'a'+i);
30                 }
31             }
32             // if (nexttarget == target) continue; 
33             // 如果没有之前那个优化,一定要判断新target和原target是否一样,避免重复递归
34             int tmp = dfs(mp, nexttarget);
35             if(tmp!=-1) res = min(res, tmp+1);
36         }
37         dp[target] = (res==INT_MAX?-1:res);
38         return dp[target];
39     }
40     int minStickers(vector<string>& stickers, string target) {
41         //get alphbet map of every word
42         int sn = stickers.size();
43         vector<vector<int>>mp(sn, vector<int>(26, 0));
44         for(int i=0; i<sn; i++) {
45             for(char a:stickers[i]) {
46                 mp[i][a-'a']++;
47             }
48         }
49         dp[""]=0;
50         return dfs(mp, target);
51     }
52 };
