Title Description
Given a list of words, this list will be encoded as a string S index and an index list A.
For example, if the list is [ "time", "me", "bell"], we can be expressed as S = "time # bell #" and indexes = [0, 2, 5].
For each index, we can start by reading the string index from the string S in position until the "#" end, to restore our previous list of words.
Then the minimum length of the string to the success of a given word list for encoding is how much?
Example:
Input: words = [ "time", "me", "bell"]
Output: 10
Description: S = "time # bell # ", indexes = [0, 2, 5].
prompt:
. 1 <= words.length <= 2000
. 1 <= words [I] .length <=. 7
each word lowercase.
Problem-solving ideas
The length of each word according to the descending order,
Then traverse the entire array encounters a word word, judge stringbuilder there is no word # this field, if not, add this field stringbuilder
Back to the length stringbuilder
code show as below
package leetcode;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class MinimumLengthEncoding {
public int minimumLengthEncoding(String[] words) {
Arrays.sort(words,(String word1,String word2)->word2.length()-word1.length());
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
sb.append(words[0]+"#");
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
if (sb.indexOf(words[i]+"#")==-1) {
sb.append(words[i]+"#");
}
}
return sb.length();
}
