mapShare challenge
Posted on 2016-09-27
Hi,
I am working on below challenge
http://codingbat.com/prob/p148813
does the 'a' key corresponding value remains same in output map as in below case "aaa"?
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
please advise

Map-1 > mapShare
prev | next | chance
Modify and return the given map as follows: if the key "a" has a value, set the key "b" to have that same value. In all cases remove the key "c", leaving the rest of the map unchanged.
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
mapShare({"b": "xyz", "c": "ccc"}) → {"b": "xyz"}
mapShare({"d": "hi", "c": "meh", "a": "aaa"}) → {"d": "hi", "b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
does the 'a' key corresponding value remains same in output map as in below case "aaa"?
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"}
please advise

Yes.
This is really a so basic challenge that you should be able to solve this on your own.

Think of the characteristics and methods for different types of maps -
Modify and return the given map as follows: if the key "a" has a value [contains], set the key [put] "b" to have that same value [get]. In all cases remove the key "c" [remove], leaving the rest of the map unchanged [need a map that preserves order].

Expected Runabove fails one test.
mapShare({"b": "bbb", "c": "ccc", "a": "aaa"}) → {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"} {"b": "aaa", "a": "aaa"} OK

Correct for more than half the tests

above passes all tests. any improvements or alternate approaches?

You might consolidate some of the steps -
map.remove"c"; ==> in all cases
if (map.containsKey("a") {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a","");
}
map.remove"c"; ==> in all cases
if (map.containsKey("a") {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a","");
}

// map.put("a","");

You DON'T remove "c" in all cases.

Without comments, your code is -
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.remove("c");
}
return map;
You need to remove "c" whether "a" exists or not -
map.remove("c"); ==> note - if "c" doesn't exist, nothing will happen, if it does, the record is removed from the map
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.put("a",""); ==> this is still needed
}
if (map.containsKey("a")) {
map.put("b",map.get("a"));
map.remove("c");
}
return map;
