Reverse Vowels of a String
Write a function that takes a string as input and reverse only the vowels of a string.
Example 1:
Given s = "hello", return "holle".
Example 2:
Given s = "leetcode", return "leotcede".
Note:
The vowels does not include the letter "y".
Tips:
Two Pointers;
In the inner while loop, don't forget the condition "start less than end" while incrementing start and decrementing end.
May use a HashSet
Code:
public class Solution {
public String reverseVowels(String s) {
if(s == null || s.length()==0) return s;
String vowels = "aeiouAEIOU";
char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
int start = 0;
int end = s.length()-1;
while(start<end){
while(start<end && !vowels.contains(chars[start]+"")){
start++;
}
while(start<end && !vowels.contains(chars[end]+"")){
end--;
}
char temp = chars[start];
chars[start] = chars[end];
chars[end] = temp;
start++;
end--;
}
return new String(chars);
}
}
