How to Design Underground System using Several Hash Maps?


Implement the class UndergroundSystem that supports three methods:

1. checkIn(int id, string stationName, int t)
A customer with id card equal to id, gets in the station stationName at time t.
A customer can only be checked into one place at a time.

2. checkOut(int id, string stationName, int t)
A customer with id card equal to id, gets out from the station stationName at time t.

3. getAverageTime(string startStation, string endStation)
Returns the average time to travel between the startStation and the endStation.
The average time is computed from all the previous traveling from startStation to endStation that happened directly.
Call to getAverageTime is always valid.
You can assume all calls to checkIn and checkOut methods are consistent. That is, if a customer gets in at time t1 at some station, then it gets out at time t2 with t2 > t1. All events happen in chronological order.

Example 1:
Input

["UndergroundSystem","checkIn","checkIn","checkIn","checkOut","checkOut","checkOut","getAverageTime","getAverageTime","checkIn","getAverageTime","checkOut","getAverageTime"]
[[],[45,"Leyton",3],[32,"Paradise",8],[27,"Leyton",10],[45,"Waterloo",15],[27,"Waterloo",20],[32,"Cambridge",22],["Paradise","Cambridge"],["Leyton","Waterloo"],[10,"Leyton",24],["Leyton","Waterloo"],[10,"Waterloo",38],["Leyton","Waterloo"]]

Output

[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,14.00000,11.00000,null,11.00000,null,12.00000]

Constraints:
There will be at most 20000 operations.
1 <= id, t <= 10^6
All strings consist of uppercase, lowercase English letters and digits.
1 <= stationName.length <= 10
Answers within 10^-5 of the actual value will be accepted as correct.

Hints:
Use two hash tables. The first to save the check-in time for a customer and the second to update the total time between two stations.

Design a Underground System using C++ unordered_map

We can use hashmaps to remember a number of things: time in/out, place in/out, the number of occurences between same stops, and the latest average. In C++, we use unordered_map to store the key-value pairs (internally implemented as a hash map).

class UndergroundSystem {
public:

        int c = count[placeIn[id]][stationName] ++;
        average[startStation][stationName] = (average[startStation][stationName] * c + timeOut[id] - timeIn[id]) / (c + 1);

        return average[startStation][endStation];
    }

    unordered_map<int, int> timeIn;
    unordered_map<int, int> timeOut;
    unordered_map<int, string> placeIn;
    unordered_map<int, string> placeOut;
    unordered_map<string, unordered_map<string, int>> count;
    unordered_map<string, unordered_map<string, double>> average;
};
class UndergroundSystem {
public:
    UndergroundSystem() {
        
    }
    
    void checkIn(int id, string stationName, int t) {
        timeIn[id] = t;
        placeIn[id] = stationName;
    }
    
    void checkOut(int id, string stationName, int t) {
        timeOut[id] = t;
        placeOut[id] = stationName;
        string startStation = placeIn[id];
        int c = count[placeIn[id]][stationName] ++;
        average[startStation][stationName] = (average[startStation][stationName] * c + timeOut[id] - timeIn[id]) / (c + 1);
    }
    
    double getAverageTime(string startStation, string endStation) {
        return average[startStation][endStation];
    }
    
private:
    unordered_map<int, int> timeIn;
    unordered_map<int, int> timeOut;
    unordered_map<int, string> placeIn;
    unordered_map<int, string> placeOut;
    unordered_map<string, unordered_map<string, int>> count;
    unordered_map<string, unordered_map<string, double>> average;
};

The getAverageTime, checkIn and checkOut will be all O(1) constant. The average can be computed based on the following:

1
2
average = (average * count + latest) / (count + 1);
count ++;
average = (average * count + latest) / (count + 1);
count ++;

The space complexity (requirement) is of course O(N) linear to the number of the check-in/check-outs.
