Leetcode - Perform String Shifts
You are given a string s
containing lowercase English letters, and a matrix shift
, where shift[i] = [direction, amount]
:
-
direction
can be0
(for left shift) or1
(for right shift). -
amount
is the amount by which strings
is to be shifted. -
A left shift by 1 means remove the first character of
s
and append it to the end. -
Similarly, a right shift by 1 means remove the last character of
s
and add it to the beginning.
Return the final string after all operations.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abc", shift = [[0,1],[1,2]] Output: "cab" Explanation: [0,1] means shift to left by 1. "abc" -> "bca" [1,2] means shift to right by 2. "bca" -> "cab"
1. Given a sum to track final shift count. When shifting left, sum - current. While shifting right, sum + current
2. If sum == 0, no need to shift. If sum > 0, shift right. If sum < 0, shift left.
3. This question is converted to rotate an array
func stringShift(s string, shift [][]int) string { if len(s) <= 1 { return s } sum := 0 for _, i := range shift { if i[0] == 0 { sum -= i[1] } else { sum += i[1] } } if sum == 0 { return s } if sum > 0 { // shift right if sum > len(s) { sum = sum % len(s) } str := []byte(s) shiftArr(str, sum) return string(str) } // shift left if 0-sum > len(s) { sum = sum % len(s) } str := []byte(s) shiftArr(str, len(s)+sum) return string(str) } func shiftArr(s []byte, k int) { reverse(s) reverse(s[:k]) reverse(s[k:]) } func reverse(s []byte) { size := len(s) for i := 0; i < size/2; i++ { s[i], s[size-1-i] = s[size-1-i], s[i] } }
