Word Break i dzielenie ciągu na segmenty

Problem Word Break

s = 'leetcode'
word_set = {'leet', 'code'}
# Can we split 'leetcode' into words from word_set?
# 'leet' in set → yes, 'code' in set → yes
# So: 'leetcode' = 'leet' + 'code' → True

s2 = 'catsandog'
word_set2 = {'cats', 'dog', 'sand', 'and', 'cat'}
# No matter how we split, last part 'og' not in dict
print('Expected: True, False')

Sformułowanie DP i stan

def word_break(s, word_dict):
    word_set = set(word_dict)
    n = len(s)
    dp = [False] * (n + 1)
    dp[0] = True  # empty string
    
    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        for j in range(i):
            # If s[:j] is segmentable AND s[j:i] is a word
            if dp[j] and s[j:i] in word_set:
                dp[i] = True
                break  # no need to check other j values
    return dp[n]

print(word_break('leetcode', ['leet', 'code']))        # True
print(word_break('catsandog', ['cats','dog','sand','and','cat']))  # False

Śledzenie tabeli DP

Analiza złożoności czasowej

# Slightly faster: iterate over words rather than all j positions
def word_break_v2(s, word_dict):
    word_set = set(word_dict)
    n = len(s)
    dp = [False] * (n + 1)

    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        for word in word_set:
            wl = len(word)
            # Does 'word' end exactly at position i?
            if i >= wl and dp[i - wl] and s[i - wl:i] == word:
                dp[i] = True
                break
    return dp[n]
