Design a number container system that can do the following:
- Insert or Replace a number at the given index in the system.
- Return the smallest index for the given number in the system.
Implement the NumberContainers class:
NumberContainers()Initializes the number container system.void change(int index, int number)Fills the container atindexwith thenumber. If there is already a number at thatindex, replace it.int find(int number)Returns the smallest index for the givennumber, or-1if there is no index that is filled bynumberin the system.
Example 1:
Input ["NumberContainers", "find", "change", "change", "change", "change", "find", "change", "find"] [[], [10], [2, 10], [1, 10], [3, 10], [5, 10], [10], [1, 20], [10]] Output [null, -1, null, null, null, null, 1, null, 2] Explanation NumberContainers nc = new NumberContainers(); nc.find(10); // There is no index that is filled with number 10. Therefore, we return -1. nc.change(2, 10); // Your container at index 2 will be filled with number 10. nc.change(1, 10); // Your container at index 1 will be filled with number 10. nc.change(3, 10); // Your container at index 3 will be filled with number 10. nc.change(5, 10); // Your container at index 5 will be filled with number 10. nc.find(10); // Number 10 is at the indices 1, 2, 3, and 5. Since the smallest index that is filled with 10 is 1, we return 1. nc.change(1, 20); // Your container at index 1 will be filled with number 20. Note that index 1 was filled with 10 and then replaced with 20. nc.find(10); // Number 10 is at the indices 2, 3, and 5. The smallest index that is filled with 10 is 2. Therefore, we return 2.
Constraints:
1 <= index, number <= 109- At most
105calls will be made in total tochangeandfind.
Hints
Hint 1
Use a hash table to efficiently map each number to all of its indices in the container and to map each index to their current number.
Hint 2
In addition, you can use ordered set to store all of the indices for each number to solve the find method. Do not forget to update the ordered set according to the change method.
