937. Reorder Data in Log Files

You are given an array of logs. Each log is a space-delimited string of words, where the first word is the identifier.

There are two types of logs:

  • Letter-logs: All words (except the identifier) consist of lowercase English letters.
  • Digit-logs: All words (except the identifier) consist of digits.

Reorder these logs so that:

  1. The letter-logs come before all digit-logs.
  2. The letter-logs are sorted lexicographically by their contents. If their contents are the same, then sort them lexicographically by their identifiers.
  3. The digit-logs maintain their relative ordering.

Return the final order of the logs.

Example 1:

Input: logs = ["dig1 8 1 5 1","let1 art can","dig2 3 6","let2 own kit dig","let3 art zero"]
Output: ["let1 art can","let3 art zero","let2 own kit dig","dig1 8 1 5 1","dig2 3 6"]
Explanation:
The letter-log contents are all different, so their ordering is "art can", "art zero", "own kit dig".
The digit-logs have a relative order of "dig1 8 1 5 1", "dig2 3 6".

Example 2:

Input: logs = ["a1 9 2 3 1","g1 act car","zo4 4 7","ab1 off key dog","a8 act zoo"]
Output: ["g1 act car","a8 act zoo","ab1 off key dog","a1 9 2 3 1","zo4 4 7"]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= logs.length <= 100
  • 3 <= logs[i].length <= 100
  • All the tokens of logs[i] are separated by a single space.
  • logs[i] is guaranteed to have an identifier and at least one word after the identifier.

Solution:

class Solution {
    public String[] reorderLogFiles(String[] logs) {
        int n = logs.length;
        String[] result = new String[n];


        PriorityQueue<String> pqLetter = new PriorityQueue<>(
            new Comparator<String>(){

                // Split on " " in only 2 parts
                public int compare(String log1, String log2){
                    String[] log1Split = log1.split(" ", 2);
                    String[] log2Split = log2.split(" ", 2);

                    if (log1Split[1].compareTo(log2Split[1]) == 0){
                        return log1Split[0].compareTo(log2Split[0]);
                    }

                    return log1Split[1].compareTo(log2Split[1]);
                }
            }
        );

        Deque<String> pqDigit = new ArrayDeque<String>();

        for (String log : logs){
            if (Character.isDigit(log.charAt(log.length() -1))){
                pqDigit.offerLast(log);
            }else{
                pqLetter.offer(log);

            }
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
            if (!pqLetter.isEmpty()){
                result[i] = pqLetter.poll();
            }else{
                result[i] = pqDigit.pollFirst();
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}
