Add Binary

Description

Given two binary strings, return their sum (also a binary string).

The input strings are both non-empty and contains only characters 1 or 0.

Example 1:

Input: a = "11", b = "1"
Output: "100"

Example 2:

Input: a = "1010", b = "1011"
Output: "10101"

思路

题意是给你两个二进制串，求其和的二进制串。我们就按照小学算数那么来做，用 carry 表示进位，从后往前算，依次往前，每算出一位就插入到最前面即可，直到把两个二进制串都遍历完即可。

class Solution {
    public String addBinary(String a, String b) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        int carry = 0, p1 = a.length() - 1, p2 = b.length() - 1;
        while (p1 >= 0 && p2 >= 0) {
            carry += a.charAt(p1--) - '0';
            carry += b.charAt(p2--) - '0';
            sb.insert(0, (char) (carry % 2 + '0'));
            carry >>= 1;
        }
        while (p1 >= 0) {
            carry += a.charAt(p1--) - '0';
            sb.insert(0, (char) (carry % 2 + '0'));
            carry >>= 1;
        }
        while (p2 >= 0) {
            carry += b.charAt(p2--) - '0';
            sb.insert(0, (char) (carry % 2 + '0'));
            carry >>= 1;
        }
        if (carry == 1) {
            sb.insert(0, '1');
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}
