To store English words, one method is to use linked lists and store a word letter by letter. To save some space, we may let the words share the same sublist if they share the same suffix. For example, loading
and being
are stored as showed in Figure 1.
Figure 1
You are supposed to find the starting position of the common suffix (e.g. the position of i
in Figure 1).
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains two addresses of nodes and a positive N (≤105), where the two addresses are the addresses of the first nodes of the two words, and N is the total number of nodes. The address of a node is a 5-digit positive integer, and NULL is represented by −1.
Then N lines follow, each describes a node in the format:
Address Data Next
whereAddress
is the position of the node, Data
is the letter contained by this node which is an English letter chosen from { a-z, A-Z }, and Next
is the position of the next node.
For each case, simply output the 5-digit starting position of the common suffix. If the two words have no common suffix, output -1
instead.

一开始想多了,其实如果当两个链表指向同一结点时,之后也不会再分开了,不然字符串就是无法确定的了,所以只需要找到第一个相同的结点输出地址就好了。
- #include <iostream>
- #include <string>
- #include <cmath>
- #include <iomanip>
- using namespace std;
- int b[100010];//记录下一个地址
- int vis[100010];
- //注意:允许相同字母使用不同地址
- int main() {
- int s1, s2, n, e, cnt = 0;
- cin >> s1 >> s2 >> n;
- int addr, next;
- char c;
- for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
- cin >> addr >> c >> next;
- b[addr] = next;
- }
- int t = s1;
- while (t != -1) {
- vis[t] = 1;
- t = b[t];
- }
- t = s2;
- while (!vis[t] && t != -1) {
- vis[t] = 1;
- t = b[t];
- }
- if (t == -1) {
- cout << -1;
- } else {
- cout << setw(5) << setfill('0') << t;
- }
- return 0;
- }
