Read N Characters Given Read4 II - Call multiple times

The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.

The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.

By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.

Note:

The read function may be called multiple times.

Tips:

上一题的followup，可以多次调用read

所以上次调用可能有读多了的，要先存下来。

复杂度O(n)

Code:

/ The read4 API is defined in the parent class Reader4. int read4(char[] buf); /

public class Solution extends Reader4 {
    /**
     * @param buf Destination buffer
     * @param n   Maximum number of characters to read
     * @return    The number of characters read
     */
    Queue<Character> remain = new LinkedList<Character>();
    public int read(char[] buf, int n) {
        int i = 0;
        // 队列不为空时，先读取队列中的暂存字符
        while(i < n && !remain.isEmpty()){
            buf[i] = remain.poll();
            i++;
        }
        for(; i < n; i += 4){
            char[] tmp = new char[4];
            int len = read4(tmp);
            // 如果读到字符多于我们需要的字符，需要暂存这些多余字符
            if(len > n - i){
                System.arraycopy(tmp, 0, buf, i, n - i);
                // 把多余的字符存入队列中
                for(int j = n - i; j < len; j++){
                    remain.offer(tmp[j]);
                }
            // 如果读到的字符少于我们需要的字符，直接拷贝
            } else {
                System.arraycopy(tmp, 0, buf, i, len);
            }
            // 同样的，如果读不满4个，说明数据已经读完，返回总所需长度和目前已经读到的长度的较小的
            if(len < 4) return Math.min(i + len, n);
        }
        // 如果到这里，说明都是完美读取，直接返回n
        return n;
    }
}
