Add a third dimension of time to a hashmap , so ur hashmap will look something like this - HashMap<K, t, V> where t is a float value. Implement the get and put methods to this map. The get method should be something like - map.get(K,t) which should give us the value. If t does not exists then map should return the closest t' such that t' is smaller than t. For example, if map contains (K,1,V1) and (K,2,V2) and the user does a get(k,1.5) then the output should be v1 as 1 is the next smallest number to 1.5

解法:用HashMap记录key和TreeMap,TreeMap记录Time和Value,之所以用TreeMap是因为当没有这个时间时找到比给的时间小中的最大的。
floorkey method is used to return the greatest key less than or equal to the given key, or null if there is no such key.
Java:
public class TimeHashMap<Key, Time, Value> {
private HashMap<Key, TreeMap<Time, Value>> map = new HashMap<Key, TreeMap<Time, Value>>();
public Value get(Key key, Time time) {
final TreeMap<Time, Value> redBlackBST = map.get(key);
if (redBlackBST == null) return null;
final Time floorKey = redBlackBST.floorKey(time);
return floorKey == null ? null : redBlackBST.get(floorKey);
}
public void put(Key key, Time time, Value value) {
if (!map.containsKey(key)) {
map.put(key, new TreeMap<Time, Value>());
}
map.get(key).put(time, value);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
TimeHashMap<String, Double, String> data = new TimeHashMap<String, Double, String>();
data.put("K",1.0,"K1");
data.put("K",2.0,"K2");
System.out.println(data.get("K",0.9));
System.out.println(data.get("K",1.0));
System.out.println(data.get("K",1.5));
System.out.println(data.get("K",2.0));
System.out.println(data.get("K",2.2));
}
}
