题目描述

Given a non-empty string s and a dictionary wordDict containing a list of non-empty words, determine if s can be segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more dictionary words.

Note:

The same word in the dictionary may be reused multiple times in the segmentation.
You may assume the dictionary does not contain duplicate words.
Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcode", wordDict = ["leet", "code"]
Output: true
Explanation: Return true because "leetcode" can be segmented as "leet code".
Example 2:

Input: s = "applepenapple", wordDict = ["apple", "pen"]
Output: true
Explanation: Return true because "applepenapple" can be segmented as "apple pen apple".
             Note that you are allowed to reuse a dictionary word.
Example 3:

Input: s = "catsandog", wordDict = ["cats", "dog", "sand", "and", "cat"]
Output: false

思路

这道题是给定一个字典和一个句子，判断该句子是否可以由字典里面的单词组出来，一个单词可以用多次。

暴力的方法是无解的，复杂度极其高。 我们考虑其是否可以拆分为小问题来解决。 对于问题(s, wordDict) 我们是否可以用(s', wordDict) 来解决。 其中s' 是s 的子序列， 当s'变成寻常(长度为0)的时候问题就解决了。 我们状态转移方程变成了这道题的难点。

我们可以建立一个数组dp, dp[i]代表 字符串 s.substring(0, i) 能否由字典里面的单词组成， 值得注意的是，这里我们无法建立dp[i] 和 dp[i - 1] 的关系， 我们可以建立的是dp[i - word.length] 和 dp[i] 的关系。

我们用图来感受一下：

没有明白也没有关系，我们分步骤解读一下：

（以下的图左边都代表s，右边都是dict，灰色代表没有处理的字符，绿色代表匹配成功，红色代表匹配失败）

上面分步解释了算法的基本过程，下面我们感性认识下这道题，我把它比喻为 你正在往一个老式手电筒🔦中装电池
