Solution: Letter Combinations of a Phone Number
Explore how to generate all letter combinations for a string of phone number digits by using the subsets pattern with backtracking. Understand the iterative recursive approach to combine letters efficiently, and analyze its time and space complexity for effective coding interview solutions.
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 .
Constraints:
