65. Valid Number

Description

A valid number can be split up into these components (in order):

  1. A decimal number or an integer.
  2. (Optional) An 'e' or 'E', followed by an integer.

A decimal number can be split up into these components (in order):

  1. (Optional) A sign character (either '+' or '-').
  2. One of the following formats:
    1. One or more digits, followed by a dot '.'.
    2. One or more digits, followed by a dot '.', followed by one or more digits.
    3. A dot '.', followed by one or more digits.

An integer can be split up into these components (in order):

  1. (Optional) A sign character (either '+' or '-').
  2. One or more digits.

For example, all the following are valid numbers: ["2", "0089", "-0.1", "+3.14", "4.", "-.9", "2e10", "-90E3", "3e+7", "+6e-1", "53.5e93", "-123.456e789"], while the following are not valid numbers: ["abc", "1a", "1e", "e3", "99e2.5", "--6", "-+3", "95a54e53"].

Given a string s, return true if s is a valid number.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "0"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = "e"
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: s = "."
Output: false

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 20
  • s consists of only English letters (both uppercase and lowercase), digits (0-9), plus '+', minus '-', or dot '.'.

Solutions

Solution 1: Case Discussion

First, we check if the string starts with a positive or negative sign. If it does, we move the pointer $i$ one step forward. If the pointer $i$ has reached the end of the string at this point, it means the string only contains a positive or negative sign, so we return false.

If the character pointed to by the current pointer $i$ is a decimal point, and there is no number after the decimal point, or if there is an e or E after the decimal point, we return false.

Next, we use two variables $dot$ and $e$ to record the number of decimal points and e or E respectively.

We use pointer $j$ to point to the current character:

  • If the current character is a decimal point, and a decimal point or e or E has appeared before, return false. Otherwise, we increment $dot$ by one;
  • If the current character is e or E, and e or E has appeared before, or if the current character is at the beginning or end of the string, return false. Otherwise, we increment $e$ by one; then check if the next character is a positive or negative sign, if it is, move the pointer $j$ one step forward. If the pointer $j$ has reached the end of the string at this point, return false;
  • If the current character is not a number, return false.

After traversing the string, return true.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the string.
