All DNA is composed of a series of nucleotides abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, for example: “ACGAATTCCG”. When studying DNA, it is sometimes useful to identify repeated sequences within the DNA.
Write a function to find all the 10-letter-long sequences (substrings) that occur more than once in a DNA molecule.
For example,
Given s = "AAAAACCCCCAAAAACCCCCCAAAAAGGGTTT",
Return:
["AAAAACCCCC", "CCCCCAAAAA"].
Solution:
public class Solution {
public List<String> findRepeatedDnaSequences(String s) {
Set<String> appeared = new HashSet<>();
Set<String> repeated = new HashSet<>();
List<String> ans = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0; i<s.length()-9; i++){
String seq = s.substring(i,i+10);
if(!appeared.add(seq) && repeated.add(seq)) ans.add(seq);
}
return ans;
}
}
