Question

1736. Latest Time by Replacing Hidden Digits

中文文档

Description

You are given a string time in the form of hh:mm, where some of the digits in the string are hidden (represented by ?).

The valid times are those inclusively between 00:00 and 23:59.

Return _the latest valid time you can get from_ time_ by replacing the hidden_ _digits_.

 

Example 1:

Input: time = "2?:?0"
Output: "23:50"
Explanation: The latest hour beginning with the digit '2' is 23 and the latest minute ending with the digit '0' is 50.

Example 2:

Input: time = "0?:3?"
Output: "09:39"

Example 3:

Input: time = "1?:22"
Output: "19:22"

 

Constraints:

• time is in the format hh:mm.
• It is guaranteed that you can produce a valid time from the given string.

Solutions

Solution 1: Greedy

We process each digit of the string in order, following these rules:

1. First digit: If the value of the second digit is determined and falls within the range $[4, 9]$, then the first digit can only be $1$. Otherwise, the first digit can be up to $2$.
2. Second digit: If the value of the first digit is determined and is $2$, then the second digit can be up to $3$. Otherwise, the second digit can be up to $9$.
3. Third digit: The third digit can be up to $5$.
4. Fourth digit: The fourth digit can be up to $9$.

The time complexity is $O(1)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$.
