Flatten Nested List Iterator Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 341.
You are given a nested list of integers nestedList. Each element is either an integer or a list whose elements may also be integers or other lists. Implement an iterator to flatten it.
Implement the NestedIterator class:
- NestedIterator(List
nestedList) Initializes the iterator with the nested list nestedList. - int next() Returns the next integer in the nested list.
- boolean hasNext() Returns true if there are still some integers in the nested list and false otherwise.
Your code will be tested with the following pseudocode:
1
2
3
4
5
initialize iterator with nestedList
res = []
while iterator.hasNext()
append iterator.next() to the end of res
return res
If res matches the expected flattened list, then your code will be judged as correct.
Example 1:
1
2
3
Input: nestedList = [[1,1],2,[1,1]]
Output: [1,1,2,1,1]
Explanation: By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false, the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,1,2,1,1].
Example 2:
1
2
3
Input: nestedList = [1,[4,[6]]]
Output: [1,4,6]
Explanation: By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false, the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,4,6].
Constraints:
- 1 <= nestedList.length <= 500
- The values of the integers in the nested list is in the range [-10^6, 10^6].
