LeetCode 65. Valid Number

65. Valid Number

Difficulty: Hard

Validate if a given string can be interpreted as a decimal number.

Some examples:
"0" => true
" 0.1 " => true
"abc" => false
"1 a" => false
"2e10" => true
" -90e3 " => true
" 1e" => false
"e3" => false
" 6e-1" => true
" 99e2.5 " => false
"53.5e93" => true
" --6 " => false
"-+3" => false
"95a54e53" => false

Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one. However, here is a list of characters that can be in a valid decimal number:

• Numbers 0-9
• Exponent - “e”
• Positive/negative sign - “+”/“-“
• Decimal point - “.”

Of course, the context of these characters also matters in the input.

The signature of the C++ function had been updated. If you still see your function signature accepts a const char * argument, please click the reload button to reset your code definition.

Solution

Language: Java

class Solution {
    public boolean isNumber(String s) {
        s = s.trim();
        boolean pointSeen = false;
        boolean eSeen = false;
        boolean numberSeen = false;
        boolean numberAfterE = true;
        for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) {
            if('0' <= s.charAt(i) && s.charAt(i) <= '9') {
                numberSeen = true;
                numberAfterE = true;
            } else if(s.charAt(i) == '.') {
                if(eSeen || pointSeen) {
                    return false;
                }
                pointSeen = true;
            } else if(s.charAt(i) == 'e') {
                if(eSeen || !numberSeen) {
                    return false;
                }
                numberAfterE = false;
                eSeen = true;
            } else if(s.charAt(i) == '-' || s.charAt(i) == '+') {
                if(i != 0 && s.charAt(i-1) != 'e') {
                    return false;
                }
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return numberSeen && numberAfterE;
    }
}
