139. Word Break

1. Description

Given a string s and a dictionary of strings wordDict, return true if s can be segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more dictionary words.
Note that the same word in the dictionary may be reused multiple times in the segmentation.

2. Example

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

3. Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 300
  • 1 <= wordDict.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= wordDict[i].length <= 20
  • s and wordDict[i] consist of only lowercase English letters.
  • All the strings of wordDict are unique.

4. Solutions

Dynamic Programming

m = s.size(), n = wordDict.size()
Time complexity: O($m^2$)
Space complexity: O(m + n)

class Solution {
public:
    bool wordBreak(const string &str, const vector<string> &word_dict) {
        const int n = str.size();
        vector<bool> formable(n + 1, false);
        formable[0] = true;

        unordered_set<string> words;
        unordered_set<int> lengths;
        size_t min_len = numeric_limits<size_t>::max(), max_len = 0;
        for (const string &word : word_dict) {
            min_len = min(min_len, word.size());
            max_len = max(max_len, word.size());

            lengths.insert(word.size());
            words.insert(word);
        }

        for (int i = min_len; i <= n; ++i) {
            for (auto j = lengths.begin(); j != lengths.end(); ++j) {
                int start = i - *j;
                if (start < 0) {
                    continue;
                }

                if (formable[start]) {
                    string s = str.substr(start, *j);
                    if (words.contains(s)) {
                        formable[i] = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return formable.back();
    }
};
