379. Design Phone Directory

Description

Design a phone directory that initially has maxNumbers empty slots that can store numbers. The directory should store numbers, check if a certain slot is empty or not, and empty a given slot.

Implement the PhoneDirectory class:

  • PhoneDirectory(int maxNumbers) Initializes the phone directory with the number of available slots maxNumbers.
  • int get() Provides a number that is not assigned to anyone. Returns -1 if no number is available.
  • bool check(int number) Returns true if the slot number is available and false otherwise.
  • void release(int number) Recycles or releases the slot number.

 

Example 1:

Input
["PhoneDirectory", "get", "get", "check", "get", "check", "release", "check"]
[[3], [], [], [2], [], [2], [2], [2]]
Output
[null, 0, 1, true, 2, false, null, true]

Explanation
PhoneDirectory phoneDirectory = new PhoneDirectory(3);
phoneDirectory.get();      // It can return any available phone number. Here we assume it returns 0.
phoneDirectory.get();      // Assume it returns 1.
phoneDirectory.check(2);   // The number 2 is available, so return true.
phoneDirectory.get();      // It returns 2, the only number that is left.
phoneDirectory.check(2);   // The number 2 is no longer available, so return false.
phoneDirectory.release(2); // Release number 2 back to the pool.
phoneDirectory.check(2);   // Number 2 is available again, return true.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= maxNumbers <= 104
  • 0 <= number < maxNumbers
  • At most 2 * 104 calls will be made to get, check, and release.
