A stringS
of lowercase letters is given. We want to partition this string into as many parts as possible so that each letter appears in at most one part, and return a list of integers representing the size of these parts.
Example 1:
Input:
S = "ababcbacadefegdehijhklij"
Output:
[9,7,8]
Explanation:
The partition is "ababcbaca", "defegde", "hijhklij".
This is a partition so that each letter appears in at most one part.
A partition like "ababcbacadefegde", "hijhklij" is incorrect, because it splits S into less parts.
Note:
S
will have length in range
[1, 500]
.S
will consist of lowercase letters (
'a'
to
'z'
) only.class Solution {
public List<Integer> partitionLabels(String S) {
List<Integer> ans = new ArrayList<>();
if (S == null || S.length() == 0) return ans;
int[] lastOccur = new int[26];
for (int i = 0; i < S.length(); i++){
lastOccur[S.charAt(i) - 'a'] = i;
}
int anchor = 0, j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < S.length(); i++){
j = Math.max(j, lastOccur[S.charAt(i) - 'a']);
if (i == j){
ans.add(j - anchor + 1);
anchor = i + 1;
}
}
return ans;
}
}
