# 459.Repeated Substring Pattern

**459.Repeated Substring Pattern**

难度:Easy

> Given a non-empty string check if it can be constructed by taking a substring of it and appending multiple copies of the substring together. You may assume the given string consists of lowercase English letters only and its length will not exceed 10000.

```
Example 1:

Input: "abab"
Output: True
Explanation: It's the substring "ab" twice.
Example 2:

Input: "aba"
Output: False
Example 3:

Input: "abcabcabcabc"
Output: True
Explanation: It's the substring "abc" four times. (And the substring "abcabc" twice.)
```

找出是否是循环字串，可以先统计26个字母出现的频次，然后找到所有出现次数不为0的最小公约数(至少为2)，即最少的循环次数。然后比较。

```
lass Solution {
int max_factor(int a, int b)
{
    if(a<b) swap(a,b);
    if(b==0) return a;
    for(int i=2;i<=b;i++)
        if(a%i==0 && b%i ==0 )return i;
    return 1;
}
public:
    bool repeatedSubstringPattern(string s) {
        vector<int>alpha(26,0);
        for(auto c:s)
            ++alpha[c-'a'];
        int len=0;
        for(auto i:alpha)
//        {
            len=max_factor(len,i);
     //       cout<< i<<" ";
   //     }
   //     cout<<endl;
  //     cout<< len << " "<<endl;

        if(len == 1  )return false;
        
        int one_size=s.length()/len;
//  cout<<one_size<<endl;
     for(int j=0;j<one_size;j++)
            for(int i=1;i<len;i++)
                if(s[i*one_size+j] !=s[j]) return false;
        return true;
        
    }
};
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://dfine.gitbook.io/leetcode/459.repeated_substring_pattern.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
