题目:
Implement an iterator to flatten a 2d vector.
For example,
Given 2d vector =
[ [1,2], [3], [4,5,6] ]
By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false, the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
.
Follow up:
As an added challenge, try to code it using only iterators in C++ or iterators in Java.
思路:
需要维护两个动态迭代器row_it和col_it,分别表示当前位置的行和列。但是由于我们不存储vec2d本身,所以我们还需要另外一个静态迭代器row_end,表示整个二维数组的末尾。这里需要特别注意的是在判断hasNext的时候,要处理那种跳过空行的情况,请见下面的代码实现。
代码:
class Vector2D {
public:
Vector2D(vector<vector<int>>& vec2d) {
if (vec2d.size() == 0) {
return;
}
row_it = vec2d.begin(), row_end = vec2d.end();
col_it = (*row_it).begin();
}
int next() {
return *col_it++;
}
bool hasNext() {
while (row_it != row_end && col_it == (*row_it).end()) {
++row_it;
col_it = (*row_it).begin();
}
return row_it != row_end;
}
private:
vector<vector<int>>::iterator row_it, row_end;
vector<int>::iterator col_it;
};
/**
* Your Vector2D object will be instantiated and called as such:
* Vector2D i(vec2d);
* while (i.hasNext()) cout << i.next();
