2424. Longest Uploaded Prefix

Description

You are given a stream of n videos, each represented by a distinct number from 1 to n that you need to "upload" to a server. You need to implement a data structure that calculates the length of the longest uploaded prefix at various points in the upload process.

We consider i to be an uploaded prefix if all videos in the range 1 to i (inclusive) have been uploaded to the server. The longest uploaded prefix is the maximum value of i that satisfies this definition.

Implement the LUPrefix class:

LUPrefix(int n) Initializes the object for a stream of n videos.
void upload(int video) Uploads video to the server.
int longest() Returns the length of the longest uploaded prefix defined above.

Example 1:

Input
["LUPrefix", "upload", "longest", "upload", "longest", "upload", "longest"]
[[4], [3], [], [1], [], [2], []]
Output
[null, null, 0, null, 1, null, 3]

Explanation
LUPrefix server = new LUPrefix(4);   // Initialize a stream of 4 videos.
server.upload(3);                    // Upload video 3.
server.longest();                    // Since video 1 has not been uploaded yet, there is no prefix.
                                     // So, we return 0.
server.upload(1);                    // Upload video 1.
server.longest();                    // The prefix [1] is the longest uploaded prefix, so we return 1.
server.upload(2);                    // Upload video 2.
server.longest();                    // The prefix [1,2,3] is the longest uploaded prefix, so we return 3.

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 10⁵
1 <= video <= n
All values of video are distinct.
At most 2 * 10⁵ calls in total will be made to upload and longest.
At least one call will be made to longest.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We use a variable $r$ to record the current longest prefix of uploaded videos, and an array or hash table $s$ to record the videos that have been uploaded.

Each time a video is uploaded, we set s[video] to true, then loop to check whether s[r + 1] is true. If it is, we update $r$.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the total number of videos.
