0228. Summary Ranges

228. Summary Ranges

Easy


You are given a sorted unique integer array nums.

A range [a,b] is the set of all integers from a to b (inclusive).

Return the smallest sorted list of ranges that cover all the numbers in the array exactly. That is, each element of nums is covered by exactly one of the ranges, and there is no integer x such that x is in one of the ranges but not in nums.

Each range [a,b] in the list should be output as:

  • "a->b" if a != b
  • "a" if a == b

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,2,4,5,7]
Output: ["0->2","4->5","7"]
Explanation: The ranges are:
[0,2] --> "0->2"
[4,5] --> "4->5"
[7,7] --> "7"

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,2,3,4,6,8,9]
Output: ["0","2->4","6","8->9"]
Explanation: The ranges are:
[0,0] --> "0"
[2,4] --> "2->4"
[6,6] --> "6"
[8,9] --> "8->9"

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 20
  • -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1
  • All the values of nums are unique.
  • nums is sorted in ascending order.

 class Solution:
    def summaryRanges(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[str]:

#         start = 0
#         end = 0

#         result = []

#         while start < len(nums) and end<len(nums):

#             if end+1 < len(nums) and nums[end]+1 == nums[end+1]:
#                 end=end+1

#             else:
#                 if start == end:
#                     result.append(str(nums[start]))
#                     start = start + 1
#                     end = end + 1
#                 else:
#                     result.append(str(nums[start])+'->'+str(nums[end]))
#                     start = end + 1
#                     end = end + 1

#         return result


        result = []
        if not nums:
            return result

        start = nums[0]
        end = nums[0]


        for item in nums[1:]:

            if end + 1 != item:
                if start == end:
                    result.append(f"{start}")
                else:
                    result.append(f"{start}->{end}")

                start = item
                end = item
                inserted = True                
            else:
                end = item
                inserted = False

        if start == end:
            result.append(f"{start}")
        else:
            result.append(f"{start}->{end}")


        return result
