[leetcode] 157. Read N Characters Given Read4 解题报告

题目链接：https://leetcode.com/problems/read-n-characters-given-read4/

The API: int read4(char *buf) reads 4 characters at a time from a file.

The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.

By using the read4 API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n) that reads n characters from the file.

Note:
The read function will only be called once for each test case.

思路：每次看读入的长度是否大于0,或者已经读够要求的长度即可.可能字符串的长度不到n,或者n不是4的整数倍,因此每次的偏移以实际读入的长度和剩余的n为准.

代码如下:

// Forward declaration of the read4 API.
int read4(char *buf);

class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param buf Destination buffer
     * @param n   Maximum number of characters to read
     * @return    The number of characters read
     */
    int read(char *buf, int n) {
        int i = 0, readLen;
        char tem[4];
        while(n > 0 && (readLen=read4(tem)) > 0)
        {
            int start = 0;
            while(start < readLen && n-- > 0) buf[i++] = tem[start++];
        }
        return i;
    }
};
