Problem
A sentence is a list of words that are separated by a single space with no leading or trailing spaces. Each word consists of lowercase and uppercase English letters.
A sentence can be shuffled by appending the 1-indexed word position to each word then rearranging the words in the sentence.
- For example, the sentence
"This is a sentence"
can be shuffled as"sentence4 a3 is2 This1"
or"is2 sentence4 This1 a3"
.
Given a shuffled sentence s
containing no more than 9
words, reconstruct and return the original sentence.
Example 1:
Input: s = "is2 sentence4 This1 a3"
Output: "This is a sentence"
Explanation: Sort the words in s to their original positions "This1 is2 a3 sentence4", then remove the numbers.
Example 2:
Input: s = "Myself2 Me1 I4 and3"
Output: "Me Myself and I"
Explanation: Sort the words in s to their original positions "Me1 Myself2 and3 I4", then remove the numbers.
Constraints:
2 <= s.length <= 200
s
consists of lowercase and uppercase English letters, spaces, and digits from1
to9
.The number of words in
s
is between1
and9
.The words in
s
are separated by a single space.s
contains no leading or trailing spaces.
Solution (Java)
class Solution {
public String sortSentence(String s) {
String[] words = s.split(" ");
TreeMap<Integer, String> treeMap = new TreeMap<>();
for (String word : words) {
int key = Integer.parseInt(word.charAt(word.length() - 1) + "");
treeMap.put(key, word.substring(0, word.length() - 1));
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry : treeMap.entrySet()) {
sb.append(entry.getValue());
sb.append(" ");
}
return sb.substring(0, sb.length() - 1);
}
}

nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n).
- Space complexity : O(n).
