763. Partition Labels
Medium
You are given a string s. We want to partition the string into as many parts as possible so that each letter appears in at most one part.
Note that the partition is done so that after concatenating all the parts in order, the resultant string should be s.
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.
Example 2:
Input: s = “eccbbbbdec”
Output: [10]
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 500sconsists of lowercase English letters.
Solution
defmodule Solution do
@spec partition_labels(s :: String.t()) :: [integer]
def partition_labels(s) do
letters = String.graphemes(s)
position = Enum.reduce(0..(length(letters) - 1), %{}, fn i, acc ->
Map.put(acc, Enum.at(letters, i), i)
end)
partition_labels(letters, position, 0, -1, 0, [])
end
defp partition_labels([], _position, _i, prev, _max, result) do
Enum.reverse(result)
end
defp partition_labels([letter | rest], position, i, prev, max, result) do
current_max = Map.get(position, letter)
# Update the maximum index to which the current partition must extend
new_max = max(current_max, max)
# If we have reached the end of the current partition
if i == new_max do
# Add the size of the partition to the result list
new_result = [i - prev | result]
partition_labels(rest, position, i + 1, i, 0, new_result)
else
partition_labels(rest, position, i + 1, prev, new_max, result)
end
end
end
