1656. Design an Ordered Stream

Easy

There is a stream of n (idKey, value) pairs arriving in an arbitrary order, where idKey is an integer between 1 and n and value is a string. No two pairs have the same id.

Design a stream that returns the values in increasing order of their IDs by returning a chunk (list) of values after each insertion. The concatenation of all the chunks should result in a list of the sorted values.

Implement the OrderedStream class:

• OrderedStream(int n) Constructs the stream to take n values.
• String[] insert(int idKey, String value) Inserts the pair (idKey, value) into the stream, then returns the largest possible chunk of currently inserted values that appear next in the order.

Example:

Input [“OrderedStream”, “insert”, “insert”, “insert”, “insert”, “insert”]

[[5], [3, “ccccc”], [1, “aaaaa”], [2, “bbbbb”], [5, “eeeee”], [4, “ddddd”]]

Output: [null, [], [“aaaaa”], [“bbbbb”, “ccccc”], [], [“ddddd”, “eeeee”]]

Explanation:

// Note that the values ordered by ID is ["aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ccccc", "ddddd", "eeeee"].
OrderedStream os = new OrderedStream(5);
os.insert(3, "ccccc"); // Inserts (3, "ccccc"), returns [].
os.insert(1, "aaaaa"); // Inserts (1, "aaaaa"), returns ["aaaaa"].
os.insert(2, "bbbbb"); // Inserts (2, "bbbbb"), returns ["bbbbb", "ccccc"].
os.insert(5, "eeeee"); // Inserts (5, "eeeee"), returns [].
os.insert(4, "ddddd"); // Inserts (4, "ddddd"), returns ["ddddd", "eeeee"].
// Concatentating all the chunks returned:
// [] + ["aaaaa"] + ["bbbbb", "ccccc"] + [] + ["ddddd", "eeeee"] = ["aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ccccc", "ddddd", "eeeee"]
// The resulting order is the same as the order above. 

Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 1000
• 1 <= id <= n
• value.length == 5
• value consists only of lowercase letters.
• Each call to insert will have a unique id.
• Exactly n calls will be made to insert.

Solution

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class OrderedStream {
    private String[] str;
    private int ptr = 0;

    public OrderedStream(int n) {
        this.str = new String[n];
    }

    public List<String> insert(int idKey, String value) {
        this.str[idKey - 1] = value;
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
        while (ptr < str.length && str[ptr] != null) {
            list.add(str[ptr]);
            ptr++;
        }
        return list;
    }
}

/*
 * Your OrderedStream object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * OrderedStream obj = new OrderedStream(n);
 * List<String> param_1 = obj.insert(idKey,value);
