Problem
Given an alphanumeric string s
, return **the *second largest* numerical digit that appears in s
, or -1
if it does not exist**.
An alphanumeric** **string is a string consisting of lowercase English letters and digits.
Example 1:
Input: s = "dfa12321afd"
Output: 2
Explanation: The digits that appear in s are [1, 2, 3]. The second largest digit is 2.
Example 2:
Input: s = "abc1111"
Output: -1
Explanation: The digits that appear in s are [1]. There is no second largest digit.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 500
s
consists of only lowercase English letters and/or digits.
Solution (Java)
class Solution {
public int secondHighest(String s) {
int largest = -1;
int sl = -1;
for (char ch : s.toCharArray()) {
if (Character.isDigit(ch)) {
int n = ch - '0';
if (n > largest) {
sl = largest;
largest = n;
} else if (n > sl && n < largest) {
sl = n;
}
}
}
return sl;
}
}
Explain:
nope.
