1487. Making File Names Unique

https://leetcode.com/problems/making-file-names-unique/

Given an array of strings names of size n. You will create n folders in your file system such that, at the ith minute, you will create a folder with the name names[i].

Since two files cannot have the same name, if you enter a folder name which is previously used, the system will have a suffix addition to its name in the form of (k), where, k is the smallest positive integer such that the obtained name remains unique.

Return an array of strings of length n where ans[i] is the actual name the system will assign to the ith folder when you create it.

Example 1:

Input: names = ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
Output: ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
Explanation: Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"pes" --> not assigned before, remains "pes"
"fifa" --> not assigned before, remains "fifa"
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"pes(2019)" --> not assigned before, remains "pes(2019)"

Example 2:

Input: names = ["gta","gta(1)","gta","avalon"]
Output: ["gta","gta(1)","gta(2)","avalon"]
Explanation: Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"gta(1)" --> not assigned before, remains "gta(1)"
"gta" --> the name is reserved, system adds (k), since "gta(1)" is also reserved, systems put k = 2. it becomes "gta(2)"
"avalon" --> not assigned before, remains "avalon"

Example 3:

Example 4:

Example 5:

Constraints:

  • 1 <= names.length <= 5 * 10^4

  • 1 <= names[i].length <= 20

  • names[i] consists of lower case English letters, digits and/or round brackets.

一系列string表示名字,依次对其中已经在前面出现过的重命名:对每个名字维持counter,将最小的没出现过的count作为(count)后缀加在名字后。统计名字出现的次数用dict,并当遇到a(1)这样的名字并出现在a前时,为了防止a和a(1)在dict中出现计数混淆,用另一个set额外记录所有出现过的名来判断a是否是第一次出现。
