2833. Furthest Point From Origin

Easy

You are given a string moves of length n consisting only of characters 'L', 'R', and '_'. The string represents your movement on a number line starting from the origin 0.

In the ith move, you can choose one of the following directions:

Return the distance from the origin of the furthest point you can get to after n moves.

Example 1:

Input: moves = “L_RL__R”

Output: 3

Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -3 through the following sequence of moves “LLRLLLR”.

Example 2:

Input: moves = “_R__LL_”

Output: 5

Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -5 through the following sequence of moves “LRLLLLL”.

Example 3:

Input: moves = “_______”

Output: 7

Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point 7 through the following sequence of moves “RRRRRRR”.

Solution

public class Solution {
    public int furthestDistanceFromOrigin(String m) {
        int count = 0;
        int res = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < m.length(); i++) {
            if (m.charAt(i) == 'L') {
                res -= 1;
            } else if (m.charAt(i) == 'R') {
                res += 1;
            } else {
                count++;
            }
        }
        return Math.abs(res) + count;
    }
