题目:
Given two binary strings, return their sum (also a binary string).
For example,
a ="11"
b = "1"
Return "100"
.
题解:
二进制加法都是从最低位(从右加到左)。所以对两个字符串要从最后一位开始加,如果遇见长度不一的情况,就把短的字符串高位补0.
每轮计算要加上进位,最后跳出循环后要坚持进位是否为1,以便更新结果。
代码如下(from discussion):
1 public String addBinary(String a, String b) { 2 int m = a.length(); 3 int n = b.length(); 4 int carry = 0; 5 String res = ""; 6 // the final length of the result depends on the bigger length between a and b, 7 // (also the value of carry, if carry = 1, add "1" at the head of result, otherwise) 8 int maxLen = Math.max(m, n); 9 for ( int i = 0; i < maxLen; i++) { 10 // start from last char of a and b 11 // notice that left side is int and right side is char 12 // so we need to minus the decimal value of '0' 13 int p=0,q=0; 14 if(i<m) 15 p = a.charAt(m-1-i) - '0'; 16 else 17 p = 0; 18 19 if(i<n) 20 q = b.charAt(n-1-i)-'0'; 21 else 22 q = 0; 23 24 int tmp = p + q + carry; 25 carry = tmp / 2; 26 res += tmp % 2; 27 } 28 return (carry == 0) ? res : "1" + res; 29 }
