Problem
Given a list of words
, list of single letters
(might be repeating) and score
of every character.
Return the maximum score of any valid set of words formed by using the given letters (words[i]
cannot be used two or more times).
It is not necessary to use all characters in letters
and each letter can only be used once. Score of letters 'a'
, 'b'
, 'c'
, … ,'z'
is given by score[0]
, score[1]
, … , score[25]
respectively.
Example 1:
Input: words = ["dog","cat","dad","good"], letters = ["a","a","c","d","d","d","g","o","o"], score = [1,0,9,5,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
Output: 23
Explanation:
Score a=1, c=9, d=5, g=3, o=2
Given letters, we can form the words "dad" (5+1+5) and "good" (3+2+2+5) with a score of 23.
Words "dad" and "dog" only get a score of 21.
Example 2:
Input: words = ["xxxz","ax","bx","cx"], letters = ["z","a","b","c","x","x","x"], score = [4,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,10]
Output: 27
Explanation:
Score a=4, b=4, c=4, x=5, z=10
Given letters, we can form the words "ax" (4+5), "bx" (4+5) and "cx" (4+5) with a score of 27.
Word "xxxz" only get a score of 25.
Example 3:
Input: words = ["leetcode"], letters = ["l","e","t","c","o","d"], score = [0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]
Output: 0
Explanation:
Letter "e" can only be used once.
Constraints:
1 <= words.length <= 14
1 <= words[i].length <= 15
1 <= letters.length <= 100
letters[i].length == 1
score.length == 26
0 <= score[i] <= 10
words[i]
,letters[i]
contains only lower case English letters.
Solution
class Solution {
private int[] score;
private int updateArr(int[] arr, String s, int add) {
int sum = 0;
for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
int ind = c - 'a';
arr[ind] += add;
if (arr[ind] < 0) {
sum = -1;
}
if (sum != -1) {
sum += this.score[ind];
}
}
return sum;
}
private int findMaxScore(String[] words, int ind, int[] arr) {
if (ind == words.length) {
return 0;
}
int excl = findMaxScore(words, ind + 1, arr);
int incl = 0;
int cscore = updateArr(arr, words[ind], -1);
if (cscore != -1) {
incl = cscore + findMaxScore(words, ind + 1, arr);
}
updateArr(arr, words[ind], 1);
return Math.max(incl, excl);
}
public int maxScoreWords(String[] words, char[] letters, int[] score) {
int[] arr = new int[26];
for (char c : letters) {
arr[c - 'a']++;
}
this.score = score;
return findMaxScore(words, 0, arr);
}
}
Explain:
nope.
