Given a string of a character S and C. Returns a string representative of each character in the array S the shortest distance S in the string of characters C.
Example 1:
Input: S = "loveleetcode", C = 'e'
Output: [3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0]
Description:
3
length of the string S [1, 10000].
C is a single character, and to ensure that the characters in the string S.
All the letters S and C are all lowercase letters.
Ideas:
Traversing from left to right again, and then again from right to left traversal
answer:
class Solution {
public int[] shortestToChar(String S, char C) {
char[] s = S.toCharArray();
int[] res = new int[S.length()];
boolean flag = false;
int count = 1;
for(int i=0; i<s.length; i++){
if(s[i] == C){
flag = true;
count = 0;
}
if(flag){
res[i] = res[i] < count && res[i] != 0 ? res[i] : count;
count ++;
}
}
flag = false;
for(int i = s.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
if(s[i] == C){
count = 0;
flag = true;
}
if(flag){
res[i] = res[i] < count && res[i] != 0 ? res[i] : count;
count++;
}
}
return res;
}
}
