Snapshottable List - Google Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


Implement a data structure with the following methods:

SnapshottableList(int size) which instantiates the list with the given size. The initial value of each element is 0.

void set(int idx, int val) which sets the value at index idx to val.

int snapshot() which returns the number of times snapshot was called previously.

int get(int idx, int snapshotId) which returns the value at index idx after we took snapshot snapshotId. 
You can assume that snapshotId is valid.

Constraints





0 ≤ n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of calls to set, snapshot and get

0 ≤ size ≤ 100,000
Example 1


Input
methods = ["constructor", "set", "snapshot", "get", "set", "snapshot", "get"]


arguments = [[2], [1, 1], [], [1, 0], [1, 100], [], [1, 1]]`
Output


[None, None, 0, 1, None, 1, 100]

                        Solution in C++ :

class SnapshottableList {
    vector<map<int, int>> v;  // v[i] --> snap_id: val
    int snaps = -1;

    public:
    SnapshottableList(int size) {
        v.resize(size);
        for (auto &x : v) {
            x[-1] = 0;
        }
    }

    void set(int idx, int val) {
        v[idx][snaps] = val;
    }

    int snapshot() {
        snaps++;
        return snaps;
    }

    int get(int idx, int snapshotId) {
        return (--(v[idx].lower_bound(snapshotId)))->second;
    }
};
                    


                        Solution in Java :

import java.util.*;

class SnapshottableList {
    TreeMap<Integer, Integer>[] values;
    int snapshotId = 0;
    public SnapshottableList(int size) {
        values = new TreeMap[size];
        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            values[i] = new TreeMap<>();
        }
    }

    public void set(int idx, int val) {
        values[idx].put(snapshotId, val);
    }

    public int snapshot() {
        int ss = snapshotId;
        snapshotId++;
        return ss;
    }

    public int get(int idx, int snapshotId) {
        Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry = values[idx].floorEntry(snapshotId);
        return entry == null ? 0 : entry.getValue();
    }
}
                    


                        Solution in Python : 
                            
class SnapshottableList:
    def __init__(self, size):
        # for each index, store a list of (snapshot_id, val)
        self.slist = [[] for _ in range(size)]
        self.current_snapshot = 0

    def set(self, idx, val):
        l = self.slist[idx]
        if l:
            # if we already have a value for the current snapshot, overwrite it
            if l[-1][0] == self.current_snapshot:
                l[-1] = (self.current_snapshot, val)
                return
            # if the existing value is the same as the new value, no need to append a new value
            if l[-1][1] == val:
                return
        l.append((self.current_snapshot, val))

    def snapshot(self):
        res = self.current_snapshot
        self.current_snapshot += 1
        return res

    def get(self, idx, snapshotId):
        l = self.slist[idx]
        i = bisect_right(l, (snapshotId, float("inf")))
        if i == 0:
            # no snapshots <= snapshotId
            return 0
        return l[i - 1][1]

Array Manipulation

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array. Example: n=10 queries=[[1,5,3], [4,8,7], [6,9,1]] Queries are interpreted as follows: a b k 1 5 3 4 8 7 6 9 1 Add the valu

Print the Elements of a Linked List

This is an to practice traversing a linked list. Given a pointer to the head node of a linked list, print each node's data element, one per line. If the head pointer is null (indicating the list is empty), there is nothing to print. Function Description: Complete the printLinkedList function in the editor below. printLinkedList has the following parameter(s): 1.SinglyLinkedListNode

Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List

You are given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to add to the list. Create a new node with the given integer. Insert this node at the tail of the linked list and return the head node of the linked list formed after inserting this new node. The given head pointer may be null, meaning that the initial list is empty. Input Format: You have to complete the SinglyLink

Insert a Node at the head of a Linked List

Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, insert a new node before the head. The next value in the new node should point to head and the data value should be replaced with a given value. Return a reference to the new head of the list. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty. Function Description: Complete the function insertNodeAtHead in the editor below

Insert a node at a specific position in a linked list

Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to insert at a certain position, create a new node with the given integer as its data attribute, insert this node at the desired position and return the head node. A position of 0 indicates head, a position of 1 indicates one node away from the head and so on. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is e

Delete a Node

Delete the node at a given position in a linked list and return a reference to the head node. The head is at position 0. The list may be empty after you delete the node. In that case, return a null value. Example: list=0->1->2->3 position=2 After removing the node at position 2, list'= 0->1->-3.
