Solution: Design File System
Let’s solve the Design File System problem using the Custom Data Structures pattern.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Design a file system that allows us to create new paths and associate them with different values. A path has one or more concatenated strings of the form /
followed by one or more lowercase English letters. For example, valid paths include "/educative"
and "/educative/problems"
, while an empty string ""
and "/"
are not valid paths.
Implement the FileSystem class with the following functions:
bool createPath(string path, int value): This function creates a new path, associates a value to it if possible, and returns TRUE. It returns FALSE if the path already exists or its parent path doesn’t exist.
int get(string path): This function returns the value associated with the path or returns -
if the path doesn’t exist.
Constraints:
The total number of calls to the two functions are
. path.length
