139. Word Break

Description

Given a non-empty string s and a dictionary wordDict containing a list of non-empty words, determine if s can be segmented into a space-separated sequence of one or more dictionary words.

Note:

• The same word in the dictionary may be reused multiple times in the segmentation.

• You may assume the dictionary does not contain duplicate words.

class Solution {
    public boolean wordBreak(String s, List<String> wordDict) {
        int sLen = s.length();
        
        int[] pos = new int[sLen+1];
        Arrays.fill(pos, -1);
        pos[0] = 0;

        for(int i = 0; i < sLen; i++) {
            if(pos[i] != -1) {
                for(int j = i+1; j <= sLen; j++) {
                    String str = s.substring(i, j);
                    if(wordDict.contains(str)) {
                        pos[j] = i;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return pos[sLen] != -1;
    }
}
