题目:

Given a list of words and two words word1 and word2, return the shortest distance between these two words in the list.

For example,
Assume that words = ["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"].

Given word1 = “coding”word2 = “practice”, return 3.
Given word1 = "makes"word2 = "coding", return 1.

Note:
You may assume that word1 does not equal to word2, and word1 and word2 are both in the list.

题解:

Time Complexity: O(n). n = words.length.

Space: O(1).

AC Java:

 class Solution {
public int shortestDistance(String[] words, String word1, String word2) {
if(words == null || words.length == 0 || word1.equals(word2)){
return 0;
} int ind1 = -1;
int ind2 = -1;
int res = words.length; for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++){
if(words[i].equals(word1)){
ind1 = i;
if(ind2 != -1){
res = Math.min(res, ind1 - ind2);
}
} if(words[i].equals(word2)){
ind2 = i;
if(ind1 != -1){
res = Math.min(res, ind2 - ind1);
}
}
} return res;
}
}
