LeetCode 848. Shifting Letters

原题链接在这里：https://leetcode.com/problems/shifting-letters/

题目：

We have a string S of lowercase letters, and an integer array shifts.

Call the shift of a letter, the next letter in the alphabet, (wrapping around so that 'z' becomes 'a').

For example, shift('a') = 'b', shift('t') = 'u', and shift('z') = 'a'.

Now for each shifts[i] = x, we want to shift the first i+1 letters of S, x times.

Return the final string after all such shifts to S are applied.

Example 1:

Input: S = "abc", shifts = [3,5,9]
Output: "rpl"
Explanation:
We start with "abc".
After shifting the first 1 letters of S by 3, we have "dbc".
After shifting the first 2 letters of S by 5, we have "igc".
After shifting the first 3 letters of S by 9, we have "rpl", the answer.

Note:

1. 1 <= S.length = shifts.length <= 20000
2. 0 <= shifts[i] <= 10 ^ 9

题解：

First calculate how many steps should each char stift by accumlating the number from n-1 to 0.

Then, shift char by the corresponding step.

If it already past 'z', minus by 26.

Time Complexity: O(n). n = shifts.length.

Space: O(n).

AC Java:

 class Solution {
     public String shiftingLetters(String S, int[] shifts) {
         if(S == null || S.length() == 0){
             return S;
         }

         int n = shifts.length;
         int sum = 0;
         for(int i = n-1; i>=0; i--){
             sum = (sum+shifts[i])%26;
             shifts[i] = sum;
         }

         char [] arr = S.toCharArray();
         for(int i = 0; i<n; i++){
             arr[i] += shifts[i];
             if(arr[i] > 'z'){
                 arr[i] -= 26;
             }
         }

         return new String(arr);
     }
 }
