LeetCode 284 Peeking Iterator

题目描述

Given an Iterator class interface with methods: next() and hasNext(), design and implement a PeekingIterator that support the peek() operation – it essentially peek() at the element that will be returned by the next call to next().

---

Here is an example. Assume that the iterator is initialized to the beginning of the list: [1, 2, 3].

Call next() gets you 1, the first element in the list.

Now you call peek() and it returns 2, the next element. Calling next() after that still return 2.

You call next() the final time and it returns 3, the last element. Calling hasNext() after that should return false.

Hint:

1. Think of “looking ahead”. You want to cache the next element.
2. Is one variable sufficient? Why or why not?
3. Test your design with call order of peek() before next() vs next() before peek().
4. For a clean implementation, check out Google’s guava library source code.

Follow up: How would you extend your design to be generic and work with all types, not just integer?

分析

peek的含义是，返回顶部元素，但是元素不弹出。但是返回顶部元素的时候，必定要使用next()。定义一个变量“缓存”元素即可。

代码

    private Iterator<Integer> iterator;
    private boolean hasPeeked;
    private Integer peekedElement;

    public PeekingIterator(Iterator<Integer> iterator) {
        // initialize any member here.
        this.iterator = iterator;
    }

    // Returns the next element in the iteration without advancing the iterator.
    public Integer peek() {
        if (!hasPeeked) {
            peekedElement = iterator.next();
            hasPeeked = true;
        }
        return peekedElement;
    }

    // hasNext() and next() should behave the same as in the Iterator interface.
    // Override them if needed.
    public Integer next() {
        if (!hasPeeked) {
            return iterator.next();
        }
        Integer result = peekedElement;
        hasPeeked = false;
        peekedElement = null;
        return result;
    }

    public boolean hasNext() {
        return hasPeeked || iterator.hasNext();
    }
