393. UTF-8 Validation
A character in UTF8 can be from 1 to 4 bytes long, subjected to the following rules:
- For 1-byte character, the first bit is a 0, followed by its unicode code.
- For n-bytes character, the first n-bits are all one's, the n+1 bit is 0, followed by n-1 bytes with most significant 2 bits being 10.
This is how the UTF-8 encoding would work:
Char. number range | UTF-8 octet sequence
(hexadecimal) | (binary)
--------------------+---------------------------------------------
0000 0000-0000 007F | 0xxxxxxx
0000 0080-0000 07FF | 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
0000 0800-0000 FFFF | 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
0001 0000-0010 FFFF | 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Given an array of integers representing the data, return whether it is a valid utf-8 encoding.
Note:
The input is an array of integers. Only the least significant 8 bits of each integer is used to store the data. This means each integer represents only 1 byte of data.
Example 1:
data = [197, 130, 1], which represents the octet sequence: 11000101 10000010 00000001.
Return true.
It is a valid utf-8 encoding for a 2-bytes character followed by a 1-byte character.
Example 2:
data = [235, 140, 4], which represented the octet sequence: 11101011 10001100 00000100.
Return false.
The first 3 bits are all one's and the 4th bit is 0 means it is a 3-bytes character.
The next byte is a continuation byte which starts with 10 and that's correct.
But the second continuation byte does not start with 10, so it is invalid.
算法分析
算法很简单,只需要依次检查每个数字是否是在合法的范围内即可:如果一个数字在0x00~0x7F之间,说明是 1-byte 字符,检查下一个字符;如果一个数字在0xC00xDF之间,则应为2-byte字符,那么接下来的一个数字应该在0x800xBF之间;如果一个数字在0xE00xEF之间,则应为3-byte字符,那么接下来的两个数字应该在0x800xBF之间;如果一个数字在0xF00xF7之间,则应为4-byte字符,那么接下来的三个数字应该在0x800xBF之间。
Java算法实现:
public class Solution {
public boolean validUtf8(int[] data) {
int len=data.length;
int index=0;
int num,num1,num2,num3;
while(index<len){
num=data[index];
num&=0xff;
if(num>=0&&num<=0x7f){
//is 1 byte character
index++;
}
else if(num>=0xc0&&num<=0xdf){
//is 2-byte character
if(index+1<len){
num1=data[index+1];
num1&=0xff;
if(!(num1<=0xbf&&num1>=0x80)){
return false;
}
//the second byte is right
index+=2;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
else if(num>=0xe0&&num<=0xef){
//it is a 3-byte character
if(index+2<len){
num1=data[index+1];
num2=data[index+2];
num1&=0xff;
num2&=0xff;
if(!(num1>=0x80&&num1<=0xbf&&num2>=0x80&&num2<=0xbf)){
return false;
}
index+=3;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
else if(num>=0xf0&&num<=0xf7){
//is a 4-byte character
if(index+3<len){
num1=data[index+1];
num2=data[index+2];
num3=data[index+3];
num1&=0xff;
num2&=0xff;
num3&=0xff;
if(!(num1>=0x80&&num1<=0xbf&&num2>=0x80&&num2<=0xbf&&num3>=0x80&&num3<=0xbf)){
return false;
}
index+=4;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
else{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
