International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows:
"a"maps to ".-", "b" maps to "-...", "c" maps to "-.-.", and so on.
For convenience, the full table for the 26 letters of the English alphabet is given below:
[".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."]
Now, given a list of words, each word can be written as a concatenation of the Morse code of each letter. For example, "cab" can be written as "-.-.-....-", (which is the concatenation "-.-." + "-..." + ".-"). We'll call such a concatenation, the transformation of a word.
Return the number of different transformations among all words we have.
Example: Input: words = ["gin", "zen", "gig", "msg"] Output: 2 Explanation: The transformation of each word is: "gin" -> "--...-." "zen" -> "--...-." "gig" -> "--...--." "msg" -> "--...--." There are 2 different transformations, "--...-." and "--...--.".
Note:
- The length of
wordswill be at most100. - Each
words[i]will have length in range[1, 12]. words[i]will only consist of lowercase letters.
Code (Java):
class Solution {
public int uniqueMorseRepresentations(String[] words) {
if (words == null || words.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
Set<String> morseCodeSet = new HashSet<>();
int ans = 0;
for (String word : words) {
String morseCode = GetMorseCode(word);
if (!morseCodeSet.contains(morseCode)) {
morseCodeSet.add(morseCode);
}
}
return morseCodeSet.size();
}
private String GetMorseCode(String word) {
String[] morseCodeDict = {".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."};
String morseCode = "";
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
morseCode += morseCodeDict[c - 'a'];
}
return morseCode;
}
}
why have we done charcater at [C-a]
ReplyDeleteto get the indexing from 0 C value can be from 97-122 so subtracting the value 97 will bring the index down to 0 for a , 1 for b and so on.
