Leetcode-387. First Unique Character in a String

Given a string s, find the first non-repeating character in it and return its index. If it does not exist, return -1.

Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: 0

Example 2:

Input: s = "loveleetcode"
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: s = "aabb"
Output: -1

<解題>

  1. 像是之前做過和String算頻率的題目類似,所以可以先計算各個字母出現的頻率
  2. 在一個迴圈從頭開始算頻率為1的字母

public class Solution {
    public int firstUniqChar(String s) {
        int freq [] = new int[26];
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i ++)
            freq [s.charAt(i) - 'a'] ++;
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i ++)
            if(freq [s.charAt(i) - 'a'] == 1)
                return i;
        return -1;
    }
}
