Given an encoded string, return it's decoded string.
The encoding rule is: k[encoded_string]
, where the encoded_stringinside the square
brackets is being repeated exactly k times. Note thatk is guaranteed to be a positive integer.
You may assume that the input string is always valid; No extra white spaces, square brackets are well-formed, etc.
Furthermore, you may assume that the original data does not contain any digits and that digits are only for those repeat numbers, k. For example, there won't be input like 3a
or 2[4]
.
Examples:
s = "3[a]2[bc]", return "aaabcbc". s = "3[a2[c]]", return "accaccacc". s = "2[abc]3[cd]ef", return "abcabccdcdcdef".
public class Solution {
public String decodeString(String s) {
Stack<Integer> count = new Stack<>();
Stack<String> result = new Stack<>();
int i=0;
result.push("");
while(i<s.length()){
char ch = s.charAt(i);
if(ch>='0'&&ch<='9'){
int start=i;
while(s.charAt(i+1)>='0'&&s.charAt(i+1)<='9') i++;
count.push(Integer.parseInt(s.substring(start,i+1)));
}
else if(ch=='['){
result.push("");
}else if(ch==']'){
int times = count.pop();
String str = result.pop();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int j=0;j<times;j++){
sb.append(str);
}
result.push(result.pop()+sb.toString());
}else{
result.push(result.pop()+ch);
}
i++;
}
return result.pop();
}
