LeetCode 1209. Remove All Adjacent Duplicates in String II 有坑

Given a string s, a k duplicate removal consists of choosing k adjacent and equal letters from s and removing them causing the left and the right side of the deleted substring to concatenate together.

We repeatedly make k duplicate removals on s until we no longer can.

Return the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made.

It is guaranteed that the answer is unique.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcd", k = 2
Output: "abcd"
Explanation: There's nothing to delete.

Example 2:

Input: s = "deeedbbcccbdaa", k = 3
Output: "aa"
Explanation: 
First delete "eee" and "ccc", get "ddbbbdaa"
Then delete "bbb", get "dddaa"
Finally delete "ddd", get "aa"

Example 3:

Input: s = "pbbcggttciiippooaais", k = 2
Output: "ps"

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
• 2 <= k <= 10^4
• s only contains lower case English letters.

-------------------------

有小坑，注意是每次==k而不是>=k

class Solution:
    def removeDuplicates(self, s: str, k: int) -> str:
        sta = []
        for ch in s:
            if (sta and sta[-1][1] == k):
                sta.pop()
            if (sta and sta[-1][0] == ch):
                sta[-1][1] += 1
            else:
                sta.append([ch,1])
        if (sta and sta[-1][1] == k):
            sta.pop()
        res = ''
        for ch,cnt in sta:
            res += ch*cnt
        return res
