157. Read N Characters Given Read4

The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.
The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.
By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.
Note:
The read function will only be called once for each test case.

Solution:

思路: 循環read4來讀4個字符并將結果復制到result buf中,直到最后一次到文件End了(read4返回count < 4)或是讀完想要讀的n個字符了。 考慮到最后一次時,(1)要復制的次數count = Math.min(count, n - total); //count: from read4, n - total 還需要讀的字符,即讀的超出了想要讀的數量, 故先用read4到tmp緩存
Time Complexity: O(N) Space Complexity: O(1) 不算結果

Solution Code:

public class Solution extends Reader4 {
    /**
     * @param buf Destination buffer
     * @param n   Maximum number of characters to read
     * @return    The number of characters read
     */
    public int read(char[] buf, int n) {
        boolean eof = false;      // end of file flag
        int total = 0;            // total bytes have read
        char[] tmp = new char[4]; // temp buffer

        while (!eof && total < n) {
            int count = read4(tmp);

            // check if it's the end of the file
            eof = count < 4;

            // get the actual count
            count = Math.min(count, n - total);

            // copy from temp buffer to buf
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) 
                buf[total++] = tmp[i];
            }

        return total;
    }
}
