All DNA is composed of a series of nucleotides abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, for example: "ACGAATTCCG". When studying DNA, it is sometimes useful to identify repeated sequences within the DNA. Write a function to find all the 10-letter-long sequences (substrings) that occur more than once in a DNA molecule. For example, Given s = "AAAAACCCCCAAAAACCCCCCAAAAAGGGTTT", Return: ["AAAAACCCCC", "CCCCCAAAAA"].
Naive 方法就是两层循环,外层for(int i=0; i<=s.length()-10; i++), 内层for(int j=i+1; j<=s.length()-10; j++), 比较两个字符串s.substring(i, i+10)和s.substring(j, j+10)是否equal, 是的话,加入到result里,这样两层循环再加equals()时间复杂度应该到O(N^3)了,TLE了
方法2:进一步的方法是用HashSet, 每次取长度为10的字符串,O(N)时间遍历数组,重复就加入result,但这样需要O(N)的space, 准确说来O(N*10bytes), java而言一个char是2 bytes,所以O(N*20bytes)。String一大就MLE
最优解:是在方法2基础上用bit operation,大概思想是把字符串映射为整数,对整数进行移位以及位与操作,以获取相应的子字符串。众所周知,位操作耗时较少,所以这种方法能节省运算时间。
首先考虑将ACGT进行二进制编码
A -> 00
C -> 01
G -> 10
T -> 11
在编码的情况下,每10位字符串的组合即为一个数字,且10位的字符串有20位;一般来说int有4个字节,32位,即可以用于对应一个10位的字符串。例如
ACGTACGTAC -> 00011011000110110001
AAAAAAAAAA -> 00000000000000000000
每次向右移动1位字符,相当于字符串对应的int值左移2位,再将其最低2位置为新的字符的编码值,最后将高2位置0。
Cost分析:
时间复杂度O(N), 而且众所周知,位操作耗时较少,所以这种方法能节省运算时间。
省空间,原来10个char要10 Byte,现在10个char总共20bit,总共O(N*20bits)
空间复杂度:20位的二进制数,至多有2^20种组合,因此HashSet的大小为2^20,即1024 * 1024,O(1)
