Zigzag Iterator
Given two 1d vectors, implement an iterator to return their elements alternately.
Example:
Input:
v1 = [1,2]
v2 = [3,4,5,6]
Output: [1,3,2,4,5,6]
Explanation: By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false,
the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,3,2,4,5,6].
Follow up: What if you are givenk
1d vectors? How well can your code be extended to such cases?
Clarification for the follow up question:
The "Zigzag" order is not clearly defined and is ambiguous fork > 2
cases. If "Zigzag" does not look right to you, replace "Zigzag" with "Cyclic". For example:
Input:
[1,2,3]
[4,5,6,7]
[8,9]
Output: [1,4,8,2,5,9,3,6,7].
Solution
public class ZigzagIterator {
public ZigzagIterator(List<Integer> v1, List<Integer> v2) {
}
public int next() {
}
public boolean hasNext() {
}
}
/**
* Your ZigzagIterator object will be instantiated and called as such:
* ZigzagIterator i = new ZigzagIterator(v1, v2);
* while (i.hasNext()) v[f()] = i.next();
