288 Unique Word Abbreviation
288 Unique Word Abbreviation (L648)
An abbreviation of a word follows the form. Below are some examples of word abbreviations:
a) it --> it (no abbreviation) 1
b) d|o|g --> d1g
1 1 1
1---5----0----5--8
c) i|nternationalizatio|n --> i18n
1
1---5----0
d) l|ocalizatio|n --> l10n
Assume you have a dictionary and given a word, find whether its abbreviation is unique in the dictionary. A word's abbreviation is unique if no other word from the dictionary has the same abbreviation.
Example
Given dictionary =[ "deer", "door", "cake", "card" ]
isUnique("dear") // return false
isUnique("cart") // return true
isUnique("cane") // return false
isUnique("make") // return true
这题要注意的是如果字典中有多个cake出现,那么当判断isUnique的时候是否返回true。这个题需要跟面试官讨论。这里我们假设是, 就是如果字典有["cake", "cake"] isUnique("cake")返回true。我们可以发现,如果字典中某单词出现的个数跟abbr之后出现的个数相同的话,证明这个词的abbr是unique的。
HashMap<String, Integer> org;
HashMap<String, Integer> abbr;
public ValidWordAbbr(String[] dictionary) {
// do intialization if necessary
org = new HashMap<>();
abbr = new HashMap<>();
for (String str : dictionary) {
org.put(str, org.getOrDefault(str, 0) + 1);
String abb = getAbbr(str);
abbr.put(abb, abbr.getOrDefault(abb, 0) + 1);
}
}
/*
* @param word: a string
* @return: true if its abbreviation is unique or false
*/
public boolean isUnique(String word) {
String target = getAbbr(word);
return org.get(word) == abbr.get(target);
}
private String getAbbr(String str) {
if (str.length() < 3) {
return str;
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(str.charAt(0));
sb.append(str.length() - 2);
sb.append(str.charAt(str.length() - 1));
return sb.toString();
}
/× 这个还能写简单点
private String getAbbr(String str) {
if (str.length() < 3) {
return str;
}
return str.charAt(0) + String.valueOf(str.length() - 2) + str.charAt(str.length() - 1);
}
