Problem

There is a stream of n (idKey, value) pairs arriving in an arbitrary order, where idKey is an integer between 1 and n and value is a string. No two pairs have the same id.

Design a stream that returns the values in increasing order of their IDs by returning a chunk (list) of values after each insertion. The concatenation of all the chunks should result in a list of the sorted values.

Implement the OrderedStream class:

  • OrderedStream(int n) Constructs the stream to take n values.
  • String[] insert(int idKey, String value) Inserts the pair (idKey, value) into the stream, then returns the largest possible chunk of currently inserted values that appear next in the order.

Example 1:

case1

Input
["OrderedStream", "insert", "insert", "insert", "insert", "insert"]
[[5], [3, "ccccc"], [1, "aaaaa"], [2, "bbbbb"], [5, "eeeee"], [4, "ddddd"]]
Output
[null, [], ["aaaaa"], ["bbbbb", "ccccc"], [], ["ddddd", "eeeee"]]

// Note that the values ordered by ID is ["aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ccccc", "ddddd", "eeeee"].
OrderedStream os = new OrderedStream(5);
os.insert(3, "ccccc"); // Inserts (3, "ccccc"), returns [].
os.insert(1, "aaaaa"); // Inserts (1, "aaaaa"), returns ["aaaaa"].
os.insert(2, "bbbbb"); // Inserts (2, "bbbbb"), returns ["bbbbb", "ccccc"].
os.insert(5, "eeeee"); // Inserts (5, "eeeee"), returns [].
os.insert(4, "ddddd"); // Inserts (4, "ddddd"), returns ["ddddd", "eeeee"].
// Concatentating all the chunks returned:
// [] + ["aaaaa"] + ["bbbbb", "ccccc"] + [] + ["ddddd", "eeeee"] = ["aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ccccc", "ddddd", "eeeee"]
// The resulting order is the same as the order above.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 1000
  • 1 <= id <= n
  • value.length == 5
  • value consists only of lowercase letters.
  • Each call to insert will have a unique id.
  • Exactly n calls will be made to insert.

Thoughts

用长度为 n 的数组用于记录 stream 的所有值,用一个遍历 ptr 记录下一次可以返回的 stream 部分的起始位置。每次 insert 的时候,先把给定的值存入给定的位置,如果 ptr 与该位置相同,则可以输出一部分内容(从 ptr 开始直到下一个为赋值的位置为止),否则直接返回空。

构造方法时间复杂度 O(n),空间复杂度 O(n)。n 次调用 insert 方法,总的时间复杂度为 O(n)
