Given an encoded string, return it’s decoded string.
The encoding rule is: k[encoded_string], where the encoded_string inside the square brackets is being repeated exactly k times. Note that k is guaranteed to be a positive integer.
You may assume that the input string is always valid; No extra white spaces, square brackets are well-formed, etc.
Furthermore, you may assume that the original data does not contain any digits and that digits are only for those repeat numbers, k. For example, there won’t be input like 3a or 2[4].
Examples:
s = "3[a]2[bc]", return "aaabcbc".
s = "3[a2[c]]", return "accaccacc".
s = "2[abc]3[cd]ef", return "abcabccdcdcdef".
用栈来解决,每次遇到“[”就把“[”之前的res塞进stack里,遇到数字就把数字塞进numStack里,每次遇到“]”就把stack.pop()和numStack.pop()个res连起来,然后作为新的res,等待下一次被塞进stack里,或者被和stack里的元素连接起来,最后返回res即可。
class Solution {
public String decodeString(String s) {
//special case
int len = s.length();
if (len == 0) return "";
//general case
Stack<String> strStack = new Stack<>();
Stack<Integer> numStack = new Stack<>();
StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
if (c == '[') {
strStack.push(res.toString());
res = new StringBuilder();
} else if (c == ']') {
int num = numStack.pop();
StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder(strStack.pop());
for (int j = 0; j < num; j++) {
temp.append(res);
}
res = temp;
} else if (Character.isDigit(c)) {
int num = 0;
while (i < len && Character.isDigit(s.charAt(i))) {
num = num * 10 + s.charAt(i) - '0';
i++;
}
i--;
numStack.push(num);
} else {
res.append(c);
}
}
return res.toString();
}
