524. Longest Word in Dictionary through Deleting

Given a string and a string dictionary, find the longest string in the dictionary that can be formed by deleting some characters of the given string. If there are more than one possible results, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order. If there is no possible result, return the empty string.
Example 1:

Input:
s = "abpcplea", d = ["ale","apple","monkey","plea"]

Output: 
"apple"

Example 2:

Input:
s = "abpcplea", d = ["a","b","c"]

Output: 
"a"

Note:

  1. All the strings in the input will only contain lower-case letters.
  2. The size of the dictionary won't exceed 1,000.
  3. The length of all the strings in the input won't exceed 1,000.

一刷
有個很簡單的方法:

  1. 首先把字典sort, length長的在前,length相同,則根據lexicographical order
  2. 然后最樸素的字符串匹配,對于字典中的每個單詞word,從index為0開始。如果和s中的字符匹配上了,i++。最后判斷i==word.length()
class Solution {
    public String findLongestWord(String s, List<String> d) {
        Collections.sort(d, (a, b)->a.length()!=b.length()?b.length()-a.length():a.compareTo(b));
        char[] arr = s.toCharArray();
        for(String word:d){
            int i=0;
            for(char ch:arr){
                if(ch == word.charAt(i)) i++;
                if(i == word.length()) return word;
            }
        }
        return "";
    }
}
