题目描述:
Given an array of characters, compress it in-place.
The length after compression must always be smaller than or equal to the original array.
Every element of the array should be a character (not int) of length 1.
After you are done modifying the input array in-place, return the new length of the array.
Follow up:
Could you solve it using only O(1) extra space?
Example 1:
Input: ["a","a","b","b","c","c","c"]
Output: Return 6, and the first 6 characters of the input array should be: ["a","2","b","2","c","3"]
Explanation: "aa" is replaced by "a2". "bb" is replaced by "b2". "ccc" is replaced by "c3".
Example 2:
Input: ["a"]
Output: Return 1, and the first 1 characters of the input array should be: ["a"]
Explanation: Nothing is replaced.
Example 3:
Input: ["a","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b"]
Output: Return 4, and the first 4 characters of the input array should be: ["a","b","1","2"].
Explanation: Since the character "a" does not repeat, it is not compressed. "bbbbbbbbbbbb" is replaced by "b12". Notice each digit has it's own entry in the array.
Note:
- All characters have an ASCII value in
[35, 126]
. 1 <= len(chars) <= 1000
.
将字符串压缩,用字符加次数的方式表示连续重复的子字符串,而且要求直接在原字符串修改。方法就是遍历字符串,统计当前字符出现的次数,并且用指针标记当前遍历的位置和新字符串的尾部,这样就便于直接在原字符串修改。
