leetcode-830-Positions-of-Large-Groups

描述


In a string S of lowercase letters, these letters form consecutive groups of the same character.

For example, a string like S = "abbxxxxzyy" has the groups "a", "bb", "xxxx", "z" and "yy".

Call a group large if it has 3 or more characters. We would like the starting and ending positions of every large group.

The final answer should be in lexicographic order.

Example 1:

1
2
3
Input: "abbxxxxzzy"
Output: [[3,6]]
Explanation: "xxxx" is the single large group with starting 3 and ending positions 6.

Example 2:

1
2
3
Input: "abc"
Output: []
Explanation: We have "a","b" and "c" but no large group.

Example 3:

1
2
Input: "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd"
Output: [[3,5],[6,9],[12,14]]

Note: 1 <= S.length <= 1000

分析


一前一后双指针,一次遍历即可。

class Solution {
public List<List<Integer>> largeGroupPositions(String S) {
S = S + '#';
List<List<Integer>> result = new LinkedList<>();
for (int fastI = 0, slowI = 0; fastI < S.length(); fastI++) {
if (S.charAt(fastI) != S.charAt(slowI)) {
if ((fastI-slowI) >= 3) {
result.add(Arrays.asList(new Integer[]{slowI, fastI-1}));
}
slowI = fastI;
}
}
return result;
}
}
