question:
Implement strStr().
Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.
Example 1:
Input: haystack = "hello", needle = "ll"
Output: 2
Example 2:
Input: haystack = "aaaaa", needle = "bba"
Output: -1
Clarification:
What should we return when needle
is an empty string? This is a great question to ask during an interview.
For the purpose of this problem, we will return 0 when needle
is an empty string. This is consistent to C's strstr() and Java's indexOf().
思路:
这道题让我们在一个字符串中找另一个字符串第一次出现的位置,那我们首先要做一些判断,如果子字符串为空,则返回0,如果子字符串长度大于母字符串长度,则返回-1。然后我们开始遍历母字符串,我们并不需要遍历整个母字符串,而是遍历到剩下的长度和子字符串相等的位置即可,这样可以提高运算效率。然后对于每一个字符,我们都遍历一遍子字符串,一个一个字符的对应比较,如果对应位置有不等的,则跳出循环,如果一直都没有跳出循环,则说明子字符串出现了,则返回起始位置即可,代码如下:
class Solution {
public:
int strStr(string haystack, string needle) {
if (needle.empty()) return 0;
int n = haystack.size(), m = needle.size();
if (n < m) return -1;
for (int i=0; i<=n-m; ++i) {
int j = 0;
for (j=0; j<m; ++j) {
if (haystack[i+j] != needle[j])
break;
}
if (j == m)
return i;
}
return -1;
}
};
