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:

Input: names = ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece"]
Output: ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece(4)"]
Explanation: When the last folder is created, the smallest positive valid k is 4, and it becomes "onepiece(4)".

Example 4:

Input: names = ["wano","wano","wano","wano"]
Output: ["wano","wano(1)","wano(2)","wano(3)"]
Explanation: Just increase the value of k each time you create folder "wano".

Example 5:

Input: names = ["kaido","kaido(1)","kaido","kaido(1)"]
Output: ["kaido","kaido(1)","kaido(2)","kaido(1)(1)"]
Explanation: Please note that system adds the suffix (k) to current name even it contained the same suffix before.

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。

import re
class Solution:
    def getFolderNames(self, names: List[str]) -> List[str]:
        m, res, s = dict(), [], set()
        RE = re.compile(r'^(.*)\(([0-9])\)$')
        for name in names:
            mo = RE.match(name)
            if mo is not None:
                pre = mo.group(1)
                ind = mo.group(2)
                if pre not in m:
                    m[pre] = [set(), 1]
                m[pre][0].add(int(ind))
            if name in s:
                ind = m[name][1]
                while ind in m[name][0]:
                        ind += 1
                m[name][0].add(ind)
                m[name][1] += 1
                name += '(' + str(ind) + ')'
            if name not in m:
                m[name] = [set(), 1]
            s.add(name)
            res.append(name)
        return res
