The API: int read4(char *buf)
reads 4 characters at a time from a file.
The return value is the actual number of characters read. For example, it returns 3 if there is only 3 characters left in the file.
By using the read4
API, implement the function int read(char *buf, int n)
that reads n characters from the file.
Note:
The read
function will only be called once for each test case.
read4(char[] buf)指的是读取4个数,存储在buf中,然后返回成功读取的数目,如果不够四个,那么就返回剩余数目的字符。
实现的read(char[] buf, int n)功能类似,只不过将4改为了n,需要输入而已。(这里一个例子只会读取一次read)
刚开始做的时候理解错了,以为是读取buf中的字符,导致提交失败。
方法是:先读取n/4次read4,如果期间有出现了不等于4的情况,那么返回结果。
然后读取最后一次,需要判断的是:1、如果刚好读完了,直接返回结果
2、判断n-result和读取数目num的大小,选择小的,读取并返回数目。
