Solution: Letter Combinations of a Phone Number
Explore how to solve the letter combinations of a phone number problem by applying the subsets pattern with backtracking. Understand how to recursively generate all possible valid letter combinations from digits 2 to 9. This lesson guides you through the algorithm, its time and space complexity, and coding implementation to strengthen your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given a string containing digits from 2 to 9 inclusive, with the possibility of each digit appearing multiple times, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent. Return the answer in any order.
The illustration below shows the mapping of digits to letters in a telephone dial pad.
Note: The number on the telephone dial pad does not correspond to any letter, so the input string only contains digits from to .
