474. Ones and Zeroes

 https://leetcode.com/problems/ones-and-zeroes/description/

You are given an array of binary strings strs and two integers m and n.

Return the size of the largest subset of strs such that there are at most m 0's and n 1's in the subset.

A set x is a subset of a set y if all elements of x are also elements of y.

 

Example 1:

Input: strs = ["10","0001","111001","1","0"], m = 5, n = 3
Output: 4
Explanation: The largest subset with at most 5 0's and 3 1's is {"10", "0001", "1", "0"}, so the answer is 4.
Other valid but smaller subsets include {"0001", "1"} and {"10", "1", "0"}.
{"111001"} is an invalid subset because it contains 4 1's, greater than the maximum of 3.

Example 2:

Input: strs = ["10","0","1"], m = 1, n = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: The largest subset is {"0", "1"}, so the answer is 2.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= strs.length <= 600
  • 1 <= strs[i].length <= 100
  • strs[i] consists only of digits '0' and '1'.
  • 1 <= m, n <= 100

Intuition
At each position, either include the string or skip
dfs with branching factor of 2
to include make sure m, n remaining are valid
to skip, don't change m, n
memoize - 3 changing variables m, n, index
terminate recursion when no more moves are possible ie. index == length || m + n == 0

class Solution {
public int findMaxForm(String[] strs, int m, int n) {
Map<String, Integer> memo = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
return dfs(strs, m, n, 0, memo);
}
private int[] getCount(String s) {
int[] ans = new int[2];
for (char ch : s.toCharArray()) {
ans[0] += ch - '0';
}
ans[1] = s.length() - ans[0];
return ans;
}
private int dfs(String[] strs, int m, int n, int i, Map<String, Integer> memo) {
// terminate when no more recursion is possible
if (i == strs.length || m + n == 0) {
return 0;
}
String key = m + "," + n + "," + i;
if (memo.containsKey(key)) {
return memo.get(key);
}
int ans = 0;
int[] counts = getCount(strs[i]);
// consider current string - recurse only if its a valid string
if (m >= counts[1] && n >=counts[0]) {
ans = 1 + dfs(strs, m - counts[1], n - counts[0], i + 1, memo);
}
// reject current string
ans = Math.max(ans, dfs(strs, m , n , i + 1, memo));
memo.put(key, ans);
return ans;
}
