back to boardDiscussion of Problem 1427. SMSHow to use DP in this problem? Hello. Could somebody tell me a right DP approach to this problem. I couldn't figure out the solution better than O(|S|*M). |S| - length of the string. Re: How to use DP in this problem? Easy problem. Let dp[i] - answer for string S1..Si. Then dp[i]=min(dp[i],dp[i-n]+1). (Maximum possible N-characters message). If last_idx - index of last "bad" character, then dp[i]=min(dp[i],dp[max(last,i-m)]+1). If current character is "bad" - update last_idx. It's O(|S|) solution. Re: How to use DP in this problem? A pure greedy problem. You don't need to use any array, the algorithm is very simple: For each characters, just check if you can add it to the current message, if not you will create a new message and then add it to this message. Re: How to use DP in this problem? What is the BAD character in string??? |
