LeetCode 2000. Reverse Prefix of Word 解題紀錄
題目
Given a 0-indexed string word and a character ch, reverse the segment of word that starts at index 0 and ends at the index of the first occurrence of ch (inclusive). If the character ch does not exist in word, do nothing.
For example, if word = "abcdefd" and ch = "d", then you should reverse the segment that starts at 0 and ends at 3 (inclusive). The resulting string will be "dcbaefd".
Return the resulting string.
Example 1:
Input: word = "abcdefd", ch = "d"
Output: "dcbaefd"
Explanation: The first occurrence of “d” is at index 3. Reverse the part of word from 0 to 3 (inclusive), the resulting string is “dcbaefd”.
Example 2:
Input: word = "xyxzxe", ch = "z"
Output: "zxyxxe"
Explanation: The first and only occurrence of “z” is at index 3. Reverse the part of word from 0 to 3 (inclusive), the resulting string is “zxyxxe”.
Example 3:
Input: word = "abcd", ch = "z"
Output: "abcd"
Explanation: “z” does not exist in word. You should not do any reverse operation, the resulting string is “abcd”.
Constraints:
- 1 $\leq$
word.length$\leq$ 250 wordconsists of lowercase English letters.chis a lowercase English letter.
想法
- Find the position of
ch, and then swap all the characters from 0 to the position ofch - STL trick in two lines: find the position of
ch, then reverse.
解法
解法一

string reversePrefix(string word, char ch) {
// get the position of 'ch'
int ch_pos = word.find(ch);
// if 'ch' is not in the string, return it
if(ch_pos == -1)
{
return word;
}
// if 'ch' exists in the string, swap those characters from index 0 to ch_pos
// mind that we only have to swap ch_pos/2 times
for(auto i=0; i<=ch_pos/2; i++)
{
int temp = word[ch_pos-i];
word[ch_pos-i] = word[i];
word[i] = temp;
}
return word;
}
- Time complexity: $\mathcal{O}(n)$.
- Space complexity: $\mathcal{O}(1)$.
解法二
string reversePrefix(string word, char ch) {
reverse(word.begin(), word.begin()+word.find(ch)+1);
return word;
}
- Time complexity: $\mathcal{O}(n)$.
- Space complexity: $\mathcal{O}(1)$.
