1165 Single-Row Keyboard

There is a special keyboard with all keys in a single row.

Given a string keyboard of length 26 indicating the layout of the keyboard (indexed from 0 to 25), initially your finger is at index 0. To type a character, you have to move your finger to the index of the desired character. The time taken to move your finger from index i to index j is |i - j|.

You want to type a string word. Write a function to calculate how much time it takes to type it with one finger.

Example 1:

Input: keyboard = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", word = "cba"
Output: 4
Explanation: The index moves from 0 to 2 to write 'c' then to 1 to write 'b' then to 0 again to write 'a'.
Total time = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4. 

Example 2:

Input: keyboard = "pqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmno", word = "leetcode"
Output: 73

Constraints:

  • keyboard.length == 26

  • keyboard contains each English lowercase letter exactly once in some order.

  • 1 <= word.length <= 10^4

  • word[i] is an English lowercase letter.

这题,一看,还以为有什么快速的方法。然后看了提示,发现还真是老老实实地一步一步做。T:O(n), S:O(n)

public int calculateTime(String keyboard, String word) {
    if (keyboard == null || keyboard.length() < 26 || word == null || word.isEmpty()) {
        return 0;
    }

    // <char, loc>
    Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < keyboard.length(); i++) {
        map.put(keyboard.charAt(i), i);
    }

    int sum = 0;
    int prev = 0;
    for (int next = 0; next < word.length(); next++) {
        int nextLoc = map.get(word.charAt(next));
        int dis = Math.abs(nextLoc - prev);
        sum += dis;
        prev = nextLoc;
    }

    return sum;
}
