Final Value of Variable After Performing Operations
Description
There is a programming language with only four operations and one variable X
:
++X
andX++
increments the value of the variableX
by1
.--X
andX--
decrements the value of the variableX
by1
.
Initially, the value of X
is 0
.
Given an array of strings operations
containing a list of operations, return the final value of X
after performing all the operations.
Example 1:
Input: operations = ["--X","X++","X++"] Output: 1 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. --X: X is decremented by 1, X = 0 - 1 = -1. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = -1 + 1 = 0. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1.
Example 2:
Input: operations = ["++X","++X","X++"] Output: 3 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 1 + 1 = 2. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 2 + 1 = 3.
Example 3:
Input: operations = ["X++","++X","--X","X--"] Output: 0 Explanation: The operations are performed as follows: Initially, X = 0. X++: X is incremented by 1, X = 0 + 1 = 1. ++X: X is incremented by 1, X = 1 + 1 = 2. --X: X is decremented by 1, X = 2 - 1 = 1. X--: X is decremented by 1, X = 1 - 1 = 0.
Constraints:
1 <= operations.length <= 100
operations[i]
will be either"++X"
,"X++"
,"--X"
, or"X--"
.
Solution(javascript)
/**
* @param {string[]} operations
* @return {number}
*/
var finalValueAfterOperations = function(operations) {
let count = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < operations.length; i++) {
if (operations[i].slice(-2) == "--" || operations[i].slice(0,2) == "--" ) {
count--;
} else if (operations[i].slice(-2) == "++" || operations[i].slice(0,2) == "++") {
count++;
}
}
return count;
};
