LeetCode第14题:Longest Common Prefix总结

题目

Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings.

  • 大意: 写一个函数,找到一组字符串的公共最长前缀。

思路

我的:定义一个不断更新的变量,存储当前的最长前缀,循环时加以一定的优化,比如如果下一个字符串比当前的前缀还长,那么可以截断前缀后在进行比较。
参考的:这道题在discuss上看到了一些运用了python语法的解法,用到了zip,reduce,set等python特有的语法,顺便贴出。

代码

原创(Python):

class Solution(object):
    def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs):
        """
        :type strs: List[str]
        :rtype: str
        """
        if len(strs) == 0:
            return ""
        if len(strs) == 1:
            return strs[0]
<!--more-->
        com_str = list(strs[0])
        for i in range(1, len(strs)):
            if len(strs[i]) < len(com_str):
                com_str = com_str[0:len(strs[i])]
            for j in range(len(com_str)):
                if com_str[j] != strs[i][j]:
                    com_str = com_str[0:j]
                    break

Python(用了zip)

(《A pythonic solution, 52 ms》)

def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs):
    prefix = '';
    # * is the unpacking operator, essential here
    for z in zip(*strs):
        bag = set(z);
        if len(bag) == 1:
            prefix += bag.pop();
        else:
            break;
    return prefix;

Python(用了reduce)

(《Simple Python solution》)

class Solution:
    def lcp(self, str1, str2):
        i = 0
        while (i < len(str1) and i < len(str2)):
            if str1[i] == str2[i]:
                i = i+1
            else:
                break
        return str1[:i]
    def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs):
        if not strs:
            return ''
        else:
            return reduce(self.lcp,strs)
