花花酱 LeetCode 1980. Find Unique Binary String

Given an array of strings nums containing n unique binary strings each of length n, return a binary string of length n that does not appear in nums. If there are multiple answers, you may return any of them.

Example 1:

Input: nums = ["01","10"]
Output: "11"
Explanation: "11" does not appear in nums. "00" would also be correct.

Example 2:

Input: nums = ["00","01"]
Output: "11"
Explanation: "11" does not appear in nums. "10" would also be correct.

Example 3:

Input: nums = ["111","011","001"]
Output: "101"
Explanation: "101" does not appear in nums. "000", "010", "100", and "110" would also be correct.

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 16
  • nums[i].length == n
  • nums[i] is either '0' or '1'.
  • All the strings of nums are unique.

Solution 1: Hashtable

We can use bitset to convert between integer and binary string.

Time complexity: O(n2)
Space complexity: O(n2)

C++

Solution 2: One bit a time

Let ans[i] = ‘1’ – nums[i][i], s.t. ans is at least one bit different from any strings.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++
