第一种方法是dp方法,第二种是利用栈的方法
这道题利用栈的思路很强,虽然普遍都会想到利用栈,但是利用每次进栈的元素来更新空差值,下标之差很精妙,反而dp方法显得不是那么巧妙
万事跪在一个巧字,用下标入栈,秒掉渣渣。
Given a string containing just the characters '('
and ')'
, find the length of the longest valid (well-formed) parentheses substring.
Example 1:
Input: "(()"
Output: 2
Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is "()"
Example 2:
Input: ")()())
" Output: 4 Explanation: The longest valid parentheses substring is"()()"
And the DP idea is :
If s[i] is '(', set longest[i] to 0,because any string end with '(' cannot be a valid one.
Else if s[i] is ')'
If s[i-1] is '(', longest[i] = longest[i-2] + 2
Else if s[i-1] is ')' and s[i-longest[i-1]-1] == '(' , longest[i] = longest[i-1] + 2 + longest[i-longest[i-1]-2]
For example, input "()(())", at i = 5, longest array is [0,2,0,0,2,0], longest[5] = longest[4] + 2 + longest[1] = 6.

int longestValidParentheses(string s) {
if(s.length() <= 1) return 0;
int curMax = 0;
vector<int> longest(s.size(),0);
for(int i=1; i < s.length(); i++){
if(s[i] == ')'){
if(s[i-1] == '('){
longest[i] = (i-2) >= 0 ? (longest[i-2] + 2) : 2;
curMax = max(longest[i],curMax);
}
else{ // if s[i-1] == ')', combine the previous length.
if(i-longest[i-1]-1 >= 0 && s[i-longest[i-1]-1] == '('){
longest[i] = longest[i-1] + 2 + ((i-longest[i-1]-2 >= 0)?longest[i-longest[i-1]-2]:0);
curMax = max(longest[i],curMax);
}
}
}
//else if s[i] == '(', skip it, because longest[i] must be 0
}
return curMax;
}
解释:想找到最大值,无非就是(())和()()类似于这两种,而a[i]只有是‘)’这种才有讨论情况,否则以‘(’为结尾的不存在,也就是0
当a[i]==')',看以a[i-2]为结尾的有多长,longest[i]=longest[i-2] + 2

s[i-longest[i-1]-1] == '('
当s[i]是‘)’时,并且s[i-1]是‘);那么久看以s[i-1]为结尾的有多少,然后减去,i-longest[i-1]-1,看着个是否是‘(’,如果是的话,那就看
i-longest[i-1]-2这个位置的longest,加上就好,前提是i-longest[i-1]-2>0

class Solution {
public:
int longestValidParentheses(string s) {
stack<int> stk;
stk.push(-1);
int maxL=0;
for(int i=0;i<s.size();i++)
{
int t=stk.top();
if(t!=-1&&s[i]==')'&&s[t]=='(')
{
stk.pop();
maxL=max(maxL,i-stk.top());
}
else
stk.push(i);
}
return maxL;
}
};
说明:这个栈存放的是原字符串的下标,t栈顶指针,当栈顶存放的下表t=stack.top(),string[t]为‘(’且a[i]为‘)’,就出栈然后更新max
值,他这个原理是什么呢
就是a[i]和栈顶之间的元素全部出战,i-stack.pop()
比如(()((()))这样的
第一个(入展,然后第二个,紧接着发生配对,pop出来,栈顶元素为小标0,而发生配对现象下表已经到8
2-0=max
6-4=max;
7-3
