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 theread4API, implement the functionint read(char *buf, int n)that readsncharacters from the file.

Example 1:

Input: buf = "abc", n = 4
Output: "abc"
Explanation: The actual number of characters read is 3, which is "abc".

Example 2:

Input: buf = "abcde", n = 5 
Output: "abcde"

Note: Thereadfunction will only be called once for each test case.

Solution

/* The read4 API is defined in the parent class Reader4.
      int read4(char[] buf); */

public class Solution extends Reader4 {
    /**
     * @param buf Destination buffer
     * @param n   Maximum number of characters to read
     * @return    The number of characters read
     */
    public int read(char[] buf, int n) {

    }
}
