393. UTF-8 Validation

Medium

Given an integer array data representing the data, return whether it is a valid UTF-8 encoding (i.e. it translates to a sequence of valid UTF-8 encoded characters).

A character in UTF8 can be from 1 to 4 bytes long, subjected to the following rules:

  1. For a 1-byte character, the first bit is a 0, followed by its Unicode code.
  2. For an n-bytes character, the first n bits are all one’s, the n + 1 bit is 0, followed by n - 1 bytes with the most significant 2 bits being 10.

This is how the UTF-8 encoding would work:

Number of Bytes | UTF-8 Octet Sequence | (binary) ——————–+—————————————– 1 | 0xxxxxxx 2 | 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 3 | 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 4 | 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx

x denotes a bit in the binary form of a byte that may be either 0 or 1.

Note: The input is an array of integers. Only the least significant 8 bits of each integer is used to store the data. This means each integer represents only 1 byte of data.

Example 1:

Input: data = [197,130,1]

Output: true

Explanation: data represents the octet sequence: 11000101 10000010 00000001. It is a valid utf-8 encoding for a 2-bytes character followed by a 1-byte character.

Example 2:

Input: data = [235,140,4]

Output: false

Explanation: data represented the octet sequence: 11101011 10001100 00000100. The first 3 bits are all one’s and the 4th bit is 0 means it is a 3-bytes character. The next byte is a continuation byte which starts with 10 and that’s correct. But the second continuation byte does not start with 10, so it is invalid.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun validUtf8(data: IntArray): Boolean {
        var count = 0
        for (d in data) {
            if (count == 0) {
                if (d shr 5 == 6) {
                    count = 1
                } else if (d shr 4 == 14) {
                    count = 2
                } else if (d shr 3 == 30) {
                    count = 3
                } else if (d shr 7 == 1) {
                    return false
                }
            } else {
                if (d shr 6 != 2) {
                    return false
                } else {
                    count--
                }
            }
        }
        return count == 0
    }
}
