Easy
You are given a license key represented as a string s
that consists of only alphanumeric characters and dashes. The string is separated into n + 1
groups by n
dashes. You are also given an integer k
.
We want to reformat the string s
such that each group contains exactly k
characters, except for the first group, which could be shorter than k
but still must contain at least one character. Furthermore, there must be a dash inserted between two groups, and you should convert all lowercase letters to uppercase.
Return the reformatted license key.
Example 1:
Input: s = “5F3Z-2e-9-w”, k = 4
Output: “5F3Z-2E9W”
Explanation: The string s has been split into two parts, each part has 4 characters. Note that the two extra dashes are not needed and can be removed.
Example 2:
Input: s = “2-5g-3-J”, k = 2
Output: “2-5G-3J”
Explanation: The string s has been split into three parts, each part has 2 characters except the first part as it could be shorter as mentioned above.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
s
consists of English letters, digits, and dashes '-'
.1 <= k <= 104
class Solution {
fun licenseKeyFormatting(s: String, k: Int): String {
val sb = StringBuilder()
var cnt = 0
var occ = 0
for (c in s.toCharArray()) {
if (c == '-') {
continue
}
cnt++
}
var l = cnt % k
for (c in s.toCharArray()) {
if (c == '-') {
continue
}
if (occ == k) {
occ = 0
sb.append('-')
} else if (occ == l && l != 0) {
l = 0
occ = 0
sb.append('-')
}
sb.append(c.uppercaseChar())
occ++
}
return sb.toString()
}
}
