任务是:

给出了一个非空的零索引字符串 S。字符串 S 由大写英文字母 A、C、G、T 集合中的 N 个字符组成。

这个字符串实际上代表一个DNA序列，大写字母代表单个核苷酸。

你还得到了由 M 个整数组成的非空零索引数组 P 和 Q。这些数组代表关于最小核苷酸的查询。我们将字符串 S 的字母表示为数组 P 和 Q 中的整数 1、2、3、4，其中 A = 1、C = 2、G = 3、T = 4，我们假设 A < c="">< g="">< t="">

查询 K 要求您从 (P[K], Q[K]) 0 ≤ P[i] ≤ Q[i] < n="">

例如，考虑字符串 S = GACACCATA 和数组 P、Q，这样:

P[0] = 0    Q[0] = 8
P[1] = 0    Q[1] = 2
P[2] = 4    Q[2] = 5
P[3] = 7    Q[3] = 7

这些范围内的最少核苷酸如下:

    (0, 8) is A identified by 1,
    (0, 2) is A identified by 1,
    (4, 5) is C identified by 2,
    (7, 7) is T identified by 4.

写一个函数:

class Solution { public int[] solution(String S, int[] P, int[] Q); } 

给定一个由 N 个字符组成的非空零索引字符串 S 和两个由 M 个整数组成的非空零索引数组 P 和 Q，返回一个由 M 个字符组成的数组，指定所有查询的连续答案.

序列应返回为:

    a Results structure (in C), or
    a vector of integers (in C++), or
    a Results record (in Pascal), or
    an array of integers (in any other programming language).

例如，给定字符串 S = GACACCATA 和数组 P、Q，这样:

P[0] = 0    Q[0] = 8
P[1] = 0    Q[1] = 2
P[2] = 4    Q[2] = 5
P[3] = 7    Q[3] = 7

该函数应返回值 [1, 1, 2, 4]，如上所述。

假设:

    N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
    M is an integer within the range [1..50,000];
    each element of array P, Q is an integer within the range [0..N − 1];
    P[i] ≤ Q[i];
    string S consists only of upper-case English letters A, C, G, T.

复杂性:

    expected worst-case time complexity is O(N+M);
    expected worst-case space complexity is O(N), 
         beyond input storage 
         (not counting the storage required for input arguments).

输入数组的元素可以修改。

我的解决方案是:

class Solution {
    public int[] solution(String S, int[] P, int[] Q) {
        final  char c[] = S.toCharArray();
        final int answer[] = new int[P.length];
        int tempAnswer;
        char tempC;

        for (int iii = 0; iii < P.length; iii++) {
            tempAnswer = 4;
            for (int zzz = P[iii]; zzz <= Q[iii]; zzz++) {
                tempC = c[zzz];
                if (tempC == 'A') {
                    tempAnswer = 1;
                    break;
                } else if (tempC == 'C') {
                    if (tempAnswer > 2) {
                        tempAnswer = 2;
                    }
                } else if (tempC == 'G') {
                    if (tempAnswer > 3) {
                        tempAnswer = 3;
                    }

                }
            }
            answer[iii] = tempAnswer;
        }

        return answer;
    }
}

这不是最佳的，我相信它应该在一个循环内完成，任何提示我该如何实现它？
