Regular Expression Matching
Implement regular expression matching with support for '.'
and '*'
.
'.' Matches any single character.
'*' Matches zero or more of the preceding element.
The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
The function prototype should be:
bool isMatch(const char *s, const char *p)
Some examples:
isMatch("aa","a") → false
isMatch("aa","aa") → true
isMatch("aaa","aa") → false
isMatch("aa", "a*") → true
isMatch("aa", ".*") → true
isMatch("ab", ".*") → true
isMatch("aab", "c*a*b") → true
Solution
public class Solution {
public boolean isMatch(String s, String p) {
if(s == null || p == null) return false;
int m = s.length(), n = p.length();
boolean [][] dp = new boolean[m + 1][n + 1];
dp[0][0] = true;
for (int i = 0; i < p.length(); i++) {
if (p.charAt(i) == '*' && dp[0][i-1]) {
dp[0][i+1] = true;
}
}
for(int i = 0;i<m;i++)
for(int j = 0;j<n;j++) {
if(p.charAt(j) == '.')
dp[i+1][j+1] = dp[i][j];
if(p.charAt(j) == s.charAt(i))
dp[i+1][j+1] = dp[i][j];
if(p.charAt(j) == '*') {
if(p.charAt(j - 1) != '.' && p.charAt(j - 1) != s.charAt(i))
dp[i+1][j+1] = dp[i + 1][j-1];
else
dp[i + 1][j + 1] = (dp[i+1][j] || dp[i][j+1] || dp[i+1][j-1]);
}
}
return dp[s.length()][p.length()];
}
}
