Description:
A binary watch has 4 LEDs on the top which represent the hours (0-11), and the 6 LEDs on the bottom represent the minutes (0-59). Each LED represents a zero or one, with the least significant bit on the right. For example, the above binary watch reads “3:25”. Given a non-negative integer _n_ which represents the number of LEDs that are currently on, return all possible times the watch could represent. Example:
Input: n = 1
Return: [“1:00”, “2:00”, “4:00”, “8:00”, “0:01”, “0:02”, “0:04”, “0:08”, “0:16”, “0:32”]
Note:
- The order of output does not matter.
- The hour must not contain a leading zero, for example “01:00” is not valid, it should be “1:00”.
- The minute must be consist of two digits and may contain a leading zero, for example “10:2” is not valid, it should be “10:02”.
解法:
这是我在Easy上花的时间最久的一道题。解法采用回溯法,即深度优先搜索,设计一个数组模拟10个小灯泡,初始为全0的状态,每次从头到尾找一个为0的点,置1点亮,继续进行下一层的搜索,搜索终止条件为需要点亮的灯泡数为0。注意回溯的精髓在于在搜索完成或失败的回退处理,具体来说,就是在递归调用之后需将状态还原。实现过程中还利用对称性进行了剪枝。具体代码如下:
