Description

Difficulty: Medium

Related Topics: Array, Hash Table, Design, Queue, Data Stream

You have a queue of integers, you need to retrieve the first unique integer in the queue.

Implement the FirstUnique class:

  • FirstUnique(int[] nums) Initializes the object with the numbers in the queue.
  • int showFirstUnique() returns the value of the first unique integer of the queue, and returns -1 if there is no such integer.
  • void add(int value) insert value to the queue.

Input:
["FirstUnique","showFirstUnique","add","showFirstUnique","add","showFirstUnique","add","showFirstUnique"]
[[[2,3,5]],[],[5],[],[2],[],[3],[]]
Output:
[null,2,null,2,null,3,null,-1]
Explanation:
FirstUnique firstUnique = new FirstUnique([2,3,5]);
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return 2
firstUnique.add(5);            // the queue is now [2,3,5,5]
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return 2
firstUnique.add(2);            // the queue is now [2,3,5,5,2]
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return 3
firstUnique.add(3);            // the queue is now [2,3,5,5,2,3]
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return -1

Input:
["FirstUnique","showFirstUnique","add","add","add","add","add","showFirstUnique"]
[[[7,7,7,7,7,7]],[],[7],[3],[3],[7],[17],[]]
Output:
[null,-1,null,null,null,null,null,17]
Explanation:
FirstUnique firstUnique = new FirstUnique([7,7,7,7,7,7]);
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return -1
firstUnique.add(7);            // the queue is now [7,7,7,7,7,7,7]
firstUnique.add(3);            // the queue is now [7,7,7,7,7,7,7,3]
firstUnique.add(3);            // the queue is now [7,7,7,7,7,7,7,3,3]
firstUnique.add(7);            // the queue is now [7,7,7,7,7,7,7,3,3,7]
firstUnique.add(17);           // the queue is now [7,7,7,7,7,7,7,3,3,7,17]
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return 17

Input:
["FirstUnique","showFirstUnique","add","showFirstUnique"]
[[[809]],[],[809],[]]
Output:
[null,809,null,-1]
Explanation:
FirstUnique firstUnique = new FirstUnique([809]);
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return 809
firstUnique.add(809);          // the queue is now [809,809]
firstUnique.showFirstUnique(); // return -1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^8
  • 1 <= value <= 10^8
  • At most 50000 calls will be made to showFirstUnique and add.

Hints/Notes

  • map + queue
