LeetCode 157 - 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.

 

[分析]
每次只能读如4个字符，但是n不一定是n的整数倍。直接一个while循环，然后在里面判断读出来的buff长度是不是小于4。另外，文件的字符数可能少于n。所以需要有eof变量在循环体中做判断。

[注意事项]
1）最后一次读出来的buff长度有可能等于4，所以在while循环的判断条件中，需要加上 readBytes < n

public int read(char[] buf, int n) {
    char[] buffer = new char[4];
    int readBytes = 0;
    boolean eof = false;
    while (!eof && readBytes < n) {
        int sz = read4(buffer);
        if (sz < 4) eof = true;
        int bytes = Math.min(n - readBytes, sz); 
        System.arraycopy(buffer /*src*/, 0 /*srcPos*/, buf /*dest*/, readBytes /*destPos*/, bytes /*length*/);
        readBytes += bytes;
    }
    return readBytes;
}
