2301. Match Substring After Replacement

Description

You are given two strings s and sub. You are also given a 2D character array mappings where mappings[i] = [oldi, newi] indicates that you may perform the following operation any number of times:

• Replace a character oldi of sub with newi.

Each character in sub cannot be replaced more than once.

Return true if it is possible to make sub a substring of s by replacing zero or more characters according to mappings. Otherwise, return false.

A substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "fool3e7bar", sub = "leet", mappings = [["e","3"],["t","7"],["t","8"]]
Output: true
Explanation: Replace the first 'e' in sub with '3' and 't' in sub with '7'.
Now sub = "l3e7" is a substring of s, so we return true.

Example 2:

Input: s = "fooleetbar", sub = "f00l", mappings = [["o","0"]]
Output: false
Explanation: The string "f00l" is not a substring of s and no replacements can be made.
Note that we cannot replace '0' with 'o'.

Example 3:

Input: s = "Fool33tbaR", sub = "leetd", mappings = [["e","3"],["t","7"],["t","8"],["d","b"],["p","b"]]
Output: true
Explanation: Replace the first and second 'e' in sub with '3' and 'd' in sub with 'b'.
Now sub = "l33tb" is a substring of s, so we return true.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= sub.length <= s.length <= 5000
• 0 <= mappings.length <= 1000
• mappings[i].length == 2
• oldi != newi
• s and sub consist of uppercase and lowercase English letters and digits.
• oldi and newi are either uppercase or lowercase English letters or digits.

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table + Enumeration

First, we use a hash table $d$ to record the set of characters that each character can be replaced with.

Then we enumerate all substrings of length $sub$ in $s$, and judge whether the string $sub$ can be obtained by replacement. If it can, return true, otherwise enumerate the next substring.

At the end of the enumeration, it means that $sub$ cannot be obtained by replacing any substring in $s$, so return false.

The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(C^2)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the lengths of the strings $s$ and $sub$ respectively, and $C$ is the size of the character set.

Solution 2: Array + Enumeration

Since the character set only contains uppercase and lowercase English letters and numbers, we can directly use a $128 \times 128$ array $d$ to record the set of characters that each character can be replaced with.

The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(C^2)$.
