Today I have done leetcode's October LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.
October LeetCoding Challenge 20
Description
Final Value of Variable After Performing Operations
There is a programming language with only four operations and one variable X:
++XandX++increments the value of the variableXby1.--XandX--decrements the value of the variableXby1.
Initially, the value of X is 0.
Given an array of strings operations containing a list of operations, return the final value of X after performing all the operations.
Example 1:
Input: operations = ["--X","X++","X++"] Output: 1 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. --X: X is decremented by 1, X = 0 - 1 = -1. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = -1 + 1 = 0. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1.
Example 2:
Input: operations = ["++X","++X","X++"] Output: 3 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 1 + 1 = 2. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 2 + 1 = 3.
Example 3:
Input: operations = ["X++","++X","--X","X--"] Output: 0 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 1 + 1 = 2. --X: X is decremented by 1, X = 2 - 1 = 1. X--: X is decremented by 1, X = 1 - 1 = 0.
Constraints:
1 <= operations.length <= 100operations[i]will be either"++X","X++","--X", or"X--".
Solution
class Solution {
public:
int finalValueAfterOperations(vector<string>& operations) {
int value = 0;
for(const auto &op : operations) {
if(op[1] == '+') {
value += 1;
} else {
value -= 1;
}
}
return value;
}
};
