Julia's coding blog - Practice makes perfect: Leetcode 318: Maximum Product of Word Length

1. Always work on coding, using Visual Studio. Try to improve coding. 

Leetcode 318: Maximum Product of Word Length 
Given a string array words, find the maximum value of length(word[i]) * length(word[j])where the two words do not share common letters. You may assume that each word will contain only lower case letters. If no such two words exist, return 0.

Solution 1:
直接看看每个字符串都包括了哪个字符,然后一一枚举是否有交集:
  • 有交集,则乘积为0
  • 无交集,乘积为 words[i].length() * words[j].length()
Julia's practice: 

Solution 2:
其实因为全部都是小写的字母,用int 就可以存储每一位的信息。这就是位运算
  • elements[i] |= 1 << (words[i][j] – 'a');   //把words[i][j] 在26字母中的出现的次序变为1
  •  elements[i] & elements[j]    // 判断是否有交集只需要两个数 按位 与 (AND)运算即可

在一个字符串组成的数组words中,找出max{Length(words[i]) * Length(words[j]) },其中words[i]和words[j]中没有相同的字母,在这里字符串由小写字母a-z组成的。
对于这道题目我们统计下words[i]的小写字母a-z是否存在,然后枚举words[i]和words[j],找出max{Length(words[i]) * Length(words[j]) }。

小写字母a-z是26位,一般统计是否存在我们要申请一个bool flg[26]这样的数组,但是我们在这里用int代替,int是32位可以替代flg数组,用 与(&),或(1),以及向左移位(<<)就能完成。如"abcd" 的int值为 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111,"wxyz" 的int值为 1111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000,这样两个进行与(&)得到0, 如果有相同的字母则不是0。
