Leetcode Read N Characters Given Read4

The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.

The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.

By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.

Note:
The read function will only be called once for each test case.

解题思路：

开始理解题意错误，每次读入4个字符，不是从buf里读入的，而是从文件里读入的，存入buf. 如果read4 < 4, 则说明已读到文件结尾。同时想到file.length > n, 则每次要确定读入Buf的正确长度，即Max.min(count, n - total)

Java code:

/* The read4 API is defined in the parent class Reader4.
      int read4(char[] buf); */

public class Solution extends Reader4 {
    /**
     * @param buf Destination buffer
     * @param n   Maximum number of characters to read
     * @return    The number of characters read
     */
    public int read(char[] buf, int n) {
        boolean eof = false; //end of file
        char[] temp = new char[4];
        int total = 0;
        while(!eof && total < n){
            int count = read4(temp);
            if(count < 4){
                eof = true;
            }
            // get the actual count
            count = Math.min(count, n - total);
            for(int i = 0; i< count; i++){
                buf[total++] = temp[i];
            }
        }
        return total;
    }
}
