1694. Reformat Phone Number

Description

You are given a phone number as a string number. number consists of digits, spaces ' ', and/or dashes '-'.

You would like to reformat the phone number in a certain manner. Firstly, remove all spaces and dashes. Then, group the digits from left to right into blocks of length 3 until there are 4 or fewer digits. The final digits are then grouped as follows:

2 digits: A single block of length 2.
3 digits: A single block of length 3.
4 digits: Two blocks of length 2 each.

The blocks are then joined by dashes. Notice that the reformatting process should never produce any blocks of length 1 and produce at most two blocks of length 2.

Return the phone number after formatting.

Example 1:

Input: number = "1-23-45 6"
Output: "123-456"
Explanation: The digits are "123456".
Step 1: There are more than 4 digits, so group the next 3 digits. The 1st block is "123".
Step 2: There are 3 digits remaining, so put them in a single block of length 3. The 2nd block is "456".
Joining the blocks gives "123-456".

Example 2:

Input: number = "123 4-567"
Output: "123-45-67"
Explanation: The digits are "1234567".
Step 1: There are more than 4 digits, so group the next 3 digits. The 1st block is "123".
Step 2: There are 4 digits left, so split them into two blocks of length 2. The blocks are "45" and "67".
Joining the blocks gives "123-45-67".

Example 3:

Input: number = "123 4-5678"
Output: "123-456-78"
Explanation: The digits are "12345678".
Step 1: The 1st block is "123".
Step 2: The 2nd block is "456".
Step 3: There are 2 digits left, so put them in a single block of length 2. The 3rd block is "78".
Joining the blocks gives "123-456-78".

Constraints:

2 <= number.length <= 100
number consists of digits and the characters '-' and ' '.
There are at least two digits in number.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simple Simulation

First, according to the problem description, we remove all spaces and hyphens from the string.

Let the current string length be $n$. Then we traverse the string from the beginning, grouping every $3$ characters together and adding them to the result string. We take a total of $n / 3$ groups.

If there is $1$ character left in the end, we form a new group of two characters with the last character of the last group and this character, and add it to the result string. If there are $2$ characters left, we directly form a new group with these two characters and add it to the result string.

Finally, we add hyphens between all groups and return the result string.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the string.
