1678. Goal Parser Interpretation(Solution || Leetcode easy || Java)
1 min readNov 22, 2022
You own a Goal Parser that can interpret a string command
. The command
consists of an alphabet of "G"
, "()"
and/or "(al)"
in some order. The Goal Parser will interpret "G"
as the string "G"
, "()"
as the string "o"
, and "(al)"
as the string "al"
. The interpreted strings are then concatenated in the original order.
Given the string command
, return the Goal Parser's interpretation of command
.
Example 1:
Input: command = "G()(al)"
Output: "Goal"
Explanation: The Goal Parser interprets the command as follows:
G -> G
() -> o
(al) -> al
The final concatenated result is "Goal".
Example 2:
Input: command = "G()()()()(al)"
Output: "Gooooal"
Example 3:
Input: command = "(al)G(al)()()G"
Output: "alGalooG"
Constraints:
1 <= command.length <= 100
command
consists of"G"
,"()"
, and/or"(al)"
in some order.
SOLUTION:
class Solution {
public String interpret(String command) {
//create stringbuilder to avoid consuming extra space without
//refrence variable
StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder(command);
int i = 0;
while(i < temp.length()){
if(temp.charAt(i) == 'G'){
i++;
}
else if(temp.substring(i,i+2).equals("()")){
temp.replace(i,i+2,"o");
i++;
}else{
temp.replace(i,i+4,"al");
i += 2;
}
}
return temp.toString();
}
}
