Perform String Shifts
You are given a string s
containing lowercase English letters, and a matrix shift
, where shift[i] = [direction, amount]
:
direction
can be0
(for left shift) or1
(for right shift).amount
is the amount by which strings
is to be shifted.A left shift by 1 means remove the first character of
s
and append it to the end.Similarly, a right shift by 1 means remove the last character of
s
and add it to the beginning.
Return the final string after all operations.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abc", shift = [[0,1],[1,2]]
Output: "cab"
Explanation:
[0,1] means shift to left by 1. "abc" -> "bca"
[1,2] means shift to right by 2. "bca" -> "cab"
Example 2:
Input: s = "abcdefg", shift = [[1,1],[1,1],[0,2],[1,3]]
Output: "efgabcd"
Explanation:
[1,1] means shift to right by 1. "abcdefg" -> "gabcdef"
[1,1] means shift to right by 1. "gabcdef" -> "fgabcde"
[0,2] means shift to left by 2. "fgabcde" -> "abcdefg"
[1,3] means shift to right by 3. "abcdefg" -> "efgabcd"
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 100
s
only contains lower case English letters.1 <= shift.length <= 100
shift[i].length == 2
0 <= shift[i][0] <= 1
0 <= shift[i][1] <= 100
class Solution {
public String stringShift(String s, int[][] shift) {
int rotateCount = 0;
for (int[] value : shift) {
if (value[0] == 0) {
rotateCount += value[1];
} else {
rotateCount -= value[1];
}
}
rotateCount = rotateCount % s.length();
if (rotateCount > 0) {
s = leftShift(s, rotateCount);
} else if (rotateCount < 0) {
s = rightShift(s, -(rotateCount));
}
return s;
}
private static String leftShift(String s, int num) {
return s.substring(num) + s.substring(0, num);
}
private static String rightShift(String s, int num) {
return s.substring(s.length() - num) + s.substring(0, s.length() - num);
}
}
