1 reverse words in a string
Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.
For example,
Given s = "the sky is blue",
return "blue is sky the".
Clarification
- What constitutes a word?
A sequence of non-space characters constitutes a word.
- Could the input string contain leading or trailing spaces?
Yes. However, your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.
- How about multiple spaces between two words?
Reduce them to a single space in the reversed string.
class Solution{ public: string reverseWords(string s){ if(s.empty()){ return s; } string s_ret, s_temp; string::size_type ix = s.size(); while(ix != 0){ s_temp.clear(); while(!isspace(s[--ix])){ s_temp.push_back(s[ix]); if(ix == 0){ break; } } if(!s_temp.empty()){ if(!s_ret.empty()){ s_ret.push_back(‘ ‘); } std::reverse(s_temp.begin(), s_temp.end()); s_ret.append(s_temp); } } return s_ret; } };
2 valid palindrome
Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome,
considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.
Example
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a palindrome.
"race a car" is not a palindrome.
Note
Have you consider that the string might be empty?
This is a good question to ask during an interview.
For the purpose of this problem,
we define empty string as valid palindrome.
Challenge
O(n) time without extra memory.
class Solution{ public: bool isPalindrome(string& s){ if(s.empty()) return true; int l = 0, r = s.size() - 1; while(l < r){ if(!isalnum(s[l])){ ++l; continue; } if(!isalnum(s[r])){ --r; continue; } if(tolower(s[l]) == tolower(s[r])){ ++l; --r; }else{ return false; } } return true; } };
3 longest palindromic substring
Given a string S, find the longest palindromic substring in S.
You may assume that the maximum length of S is 1000,
and there exists one unique longest palindromic substring.
Example
Given the string = "abcdzdcab", return "cdzdc".
Challenge
O(n2) time is acceptable. Can you do it in O(n) time.
