Problem: Restore IP Addresses

Medium
30 min
Explore the backtracking algorithm to generate all valid IP addresses from a numeric string by inserting three dots. Learn to validate segments within the 0 to 255 range without leading zeros and implement a solution that respects problem constraints. This lesson helps improve problem-solving skills with backtracking techniques critical for coding interviews.

Statement

A valid IP address consists of four numeric segments separated by single dots. Each segment must be an integer between 0 and 255 (inclusive), and leading zeros are not allowed unless the segment is exactly ‘0.”

For instance, “10.0.1.25” and “172.16.0.5” are valid IP addresses, while “01.200.100.3,” “256.100.50.25,” and “172.16.0.500” are invalid.

Given a string s made up of digits only, return all possible valid IP addresses that can be created by inserting exactly three dots into the string. You cannot rearrange or delete any digits. The resulting list of valid IP addresses can be returned in any order.

Constraints:

  • The input string s consists of digits only.

  • 44 \leq s.length 12\leq 12
