Design In-Memory File System
Try to solve the Design In-Memory File System problem.
We'll cover the following
Statement
Design an in-memory file system. The skeleton for the class FileSystem is provided to you. Simulate the following functions:
-
Void ls(String path): If path is a file path, return a list that only contains the file’s name. If it’s a directory path, return the list of files and directory names in this directory. Your function should return the output (file and directory names together) in lexicographical order.
-
Void mkdir(String path): If the given path does not exist, make a new directory according to it. The function should create all the middle directories in the path if they don’t exist.
-
Void addContentToFile(String filePath, String content): If the file doesn’t exist, create that file containing the given content. If the file already exists, append the given content to the original content.
-
Void readContentFromFile(String filePath): Return given file’s content in string format.
Note: You may assume that all directory names and file names only contain lowercase letters, and the same names will not exist in the same directory. Additionally, you may assume that all operations will be passed valid parameters, and an attempt to retrieve file content or list a directory or file that does not exist is not allowed.
Constraints:
-
path.length
,filePath.length
-
path
andfilePath
are absolute paths that begin with “/” and do not end with “/” except that the path is just “/”. -
content.length
-
At most calls will be made to ls, mkdir, addContentToFile, and readContentFromFile.
