给出一个单词数组 words
,其中每个单词都由小写英文字母组成。
如果我们可以 不改变其他字符的顺序 ,在 wordA
的任何地方添加 恰好一个 字母使其变成 wordB
,那么我们认为 wordA
是 wordB
的 前身 。
- 例如,
"abc"
是"abac"
的 前身 ,而"cba"
不是"bcad"
的 前身
词链是单词 [word_1, word_2, ..., word_k]
组成的序列,k >= 1
,其中 word1
是 word2
的前身,word2
是 word3
的前身,依此类推。一个单词通常是 k == 1
的 单词链 。
从给定单词列表 words
中选择单词组成词链,返回 词链的 最长可能长度 。
示例 1:
输入:words = ["a","b","ba","bca","bda","bdca"] 输出:4 解释:最长单词链之一为 ["a","ba","bda","bdca"]
示例 2:
输入:words = ["xbc","pcxbcf","xb","cxbc","pcxbc"] 输出:5 解释:所有的单词都可以放入单词链 ["xb", "xbc", "cxbc", "pcxbc", "pcxbcf"].
示例 3:
输入:words = ["abcd","dbqca"] 输出:1 解释:字链["abcd"]是最长的字链之一。 ["abcd","dbqca"]不是一个有效的单词链,因为字母的顺序被改变了。
提示:
1 <= words.length <= 1000
1 <= words[i].length <= 16
words[i]
仅由小写英文字母组成。
先按字符串长度升序排列,再利用动态规划或者哈希表求解。
动态规划:
class Solution:
def longestStrChain(self, words: List[str]) -> int:
def check(w1, w2):
if len(w2) - len(w1) != 1:
return False
i = j = cnt = 0
while i < len(w1) and j < len(w2):
if w1[i] != w2[j]:
cnt += 1
else:
i += 1
j += 1
return cnt < 2 and i == len(w1)
n = len(words)
dp = [1] * (n + 1)
words.sort(key= lambda x: len(x))
res = 1
for i in range(1, n):
for j in range(i):
if check(words[j], words[i]):
dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1)
res = max(res, dp[i])
return res
哈希表:
class Solution:
def longestStrChain(self, words: List[str]) -> int:
words.sort(key= lambda x: len(x))
res = 0
mp = {}
for word in words:
x = 1
for i in range(len(word)):
pre = word[:i] + word[i + 1:]
x = max(x, mp.get(pre, 0) + 1)
mp[word] = x
res = max(res, x)
return res
哈希表:
class Solution {
public int longestStrChain(String[] words) {
Arrays.sort(words, Comparator.comparingInt(String::length));
int res = 0;
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (String word : words) {
int x = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); ++i) {
String pre = word.substring(0, i) + word.substring(i + 1);
x = Math.max(x, map.getOrDefault(pre, 0) + 1);
}
map.put(word, x);
res = Math.max(res, x);
}
return res;
}
}
function longestStrChain(words: string[]): number {
words.sort((a, b) => a.length - b.length);
let ans = 0;
let hashTable = new Map();
for (let word of words) {
let c = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
let pre = word.substring(0, i) + word.substring(i + 1);
c = Math.max(c, (hashTable.get(pre) || 0) + 1);
}
hashTable.set(word, c);
ans = Math.max(ans, c);
}
return ans;
}
哈希表:

sort(words.begin(), words.end(), [&](string a, string b)
{ return a.size() < b.size(); });

x = max(x, map[pre] + 1);
}
map[word] = x;
res = max(res, x);
}
return res;
