Simple Text Editor


Problem Statement :


In this challenge, you must implement a simple text editor. Initially, your editor contains an empty string, S. You must perform Q operations of the following 4  types:

1. append(W) - Append W string  to the end of S.
2 . delete( k ) - Delete the last k characters of S.
3 .print( k ) - Print the kth character of S.
4 . undo( ) - Undo the last (not previously undone) operation of type 1 or 2, reverting S to the state it was in prior to that operation.


Input Format


The first line contains an integer, Q, denoting the number of operations.
Each line i of the Q subsequent lines (where 0 < = i  < Q ) defines an operation to be performed. Each operation starts with a single integer, t  , denoting a type of operation as defined in the Problem Statement above. If the operation requires an argument,  is followed by its space-separated argument. For example, if t = 1  and , W = "abcd" line i will be 1 abcd.


Output Format

Each operation of type 3 must print the kth  character on a new line.

                            Solution in C :

In C++ :



#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stack>

int main() {

    std::string text, arg;
    int cmd;
    std::stack<std::string> history;
    
    std::cin >> cmd;
    while (std::cin >> cmd) {
        switch (cmd) {
            case 1: // Append
                std::cin >> arg;
                history.push(text);
                text.append(arg);
                break;
            case 2: // Erase
                std::cin >> cmd;
                history.push(text);
                text.erase(text.length() - cmd);
                break;
            case 3: // Get
                std::cin >> cmd;
                std::cout << text[cmd - 1] << '\n';
                break;
            case 4: // Undo
                text = std::move(history.top());
                history.pop();
                break;

Find the Running Median

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.

Minimum Average Waiting Time

Tieu owns a pizza restaurant and he manages it in his own way. While in a normal restaurant, a customer is served by following the first-come, first-served rule, Tieu simply minimizes the average waiting time of his customers. So he gets to decide who is served first, regardless of how sooner or later a person comes. Different kinds of pizzas take different amounts of time to cook. Also, once h
