LC 981. Time Based Key-Value Store

Posted 2021-02-07 ethanhong

Create a timebased key-value store class TimeMap, that supports two operations.

1. set(string key, string value, int timestamp)

• Stores the key and value, along with the given timestamp.

2. get(string key, int timestamp)

• Returns a value such that set(key, value, timestamp_prev) was called previously, with timestamp_prev <= timestamp.
• If there are multiple such values, it returns the one with the largest timestamp_prev.
• If there are no values, it returns the empty string ("").

  void set(string key, string value, int timestamp) {
    mp[key][timestamp] = value;
  }

  string get(string key, int timestamp) {
    if(!mp.count(key)) return "";
    if(mp[key].count(timestamp)) return mp[key][timestamp];
    for(auto it = mp[key].rbegin(); it != mp[key].rend(); it++) {
      if(it->first > timestamp) continue;
      else {
        return it->second;
      }
    }
    return "";
  }
};
