1545. Find Kth Bit in Nth Binary String

中文文档

Description

Given two positive integers n and k, the binary string Sn is formed as follows:

  • S1 = "0"
  • Si = Si - 1 + "1" + reverse(invert(Si - 1)) for i > 1

Where + denotes the concatenation operation, reverse(x) returns the reversed string x, and invert(x) inverts all the bits in x (0 changes to 1 and 1 changes to 0).

For example, the first four strings in the above sequence are:

  • S1 = "0"
  • S2 = "011"
  • S3 = "0111001"
  • S4 = "011100110110001"

Return the kth bit in Sn. It is guaranteed that k is valid for the given n.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, k = 1
Output: "0"
Explanation: S3 is "0111001".
The 1st bit is "0".

Example 2:

Input: n = 4, k = 11
Output: "1"
Explanation: S4 is "011100110110001".
The 11th bit is "1".

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 20
  • 1 <= k <= 2n - 1

Solutions

Solution 1: Case Analysis + Recursion

We can observe that for $S_n$, the first half is the same as $S_{n-1}$, and the second half is the reverse and negation of $S_{n-1}$. Therefore, we can design a function $dfs(n, k)$, which represents the $k$-th character of the $n$-th string. The answer is $dfs(n, k)$.

The calculation process of the function $dfs(n, k)$ is as follows:

  • If $k = 1$, then the answer is $0$;
  • If $k$ is a power of $2$, then the answer is $1$;
  • If $k \times 2 &lt; 2^n - 1$, it means that $k$ is in the first half, and the answer is $dfs(n - 1, k)$;
  • Otherwise, the answer is $dfs(n - 1, 2^n - k) \oplus 1$, where $\oplus$ represents the XOR operation.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the given $n$ in the problem.
