LeetCode 2011. Final Value of Variable After Performing Operations

Question

There is a programming language with only four operations and one variable X:

• ++X and X++ increments the value of the variable X by 1.
• --X and X-- decrements the value of the variable X by 1.

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

Python

class Solution:
    def finalValueAfterOperations(self, operations: List[str]) -> int:
        value = 0
        for i in range(0,len(operations)):
            if operations[i] == "++X" or operations[i] == "X++":
                value += 1
            elif operations[i] == "--X" or operations[i] == "X--":
                value -= 1
        return value
