Given an integer n, return the number of strings of length n that consist only of vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and are lexicographically sorted.
A string s is lexicographically sorted if for all valid i, s[i] is the same as or comes before s[i+1] in the alphabet.
Example 1:
Input: n = 1
Output: 5
Explanation: The 5 sorted strings that consist of vowels only are ["a","e","i","o","u"].
Example 2:
Input: n = 2
Output: 15
Explanation: The 15 sorted strings that consist of vowels only are
["aa","ae","ai","ao","au","ee","ei","eo","eu","ii","io","iu","oo","ou","uu"].
Note that "ea" is not a valid string since 'e' comes after 'a' in the alphabet.
public int countVowelStrings(int n) {
int memo[][] = new int[n + 1][6];
return countVowelStringUtil(n, 5, memo);
}
int countVowelStringUtil(int n, int vowels, int memo[][]) {
if (n == 1)
return vowels;
if (vowels == 1)
return 1;
if (memo[n][vowels] != 0)
return memo[n][vowels];
int res = countVowelStringUtil(n - 1, vowels, memo) +
countVowelStringUtil(n, vowels - 1, memo);
memo[n][vowels] = res;
return res;
