【leetcode】1436. Destination City

题目如下:

You are given the array paths, where paths[i] = [cityAi, cityBi] means there exists a direct path going from cityAi to cityBiReturn the destination city, that is, the city without any path outgoing to another city.

It is guaranteed that the graph of paths forms a line without any loop, therefore, there will be exactly one destination city. 

Example 1:

Input: paths = [["London","New York"],["New York","Lima"],["Lima","Sao Paulo"]]
Output: "Sao Paulo" 
Explanation: Starting at "London" city you will reach "Sao Paulo" city which is the destination city. Your trip consist of: "London" -> "New York" -> "Lima" -> "Sao Paulo".

Example 2:

Input: paths = [["B","C"],["D","B"],["C","A"]]
Output: "A"
Explanation: All possible trips are: 
"D" -> "B" -> "C" -> "A". 
"B" -> "C" -> "A". 
"C" -> "A". 
"A". 
Clearly the destination city is "A".

Example 3:

Input: paths = [["A","Z"]]
Output: "Z"

Constraints:

  • 1 <= paths.length <= 100
  • paths[i].length == 2
  • 1 <= cityAi.length, cityBi.length <= 10
  • cityAi != cityBi
  • All strings consist of lowercase and uppercase English letters and the space character.

解题思路:很简单的题目,找出唯一一个没有作为起点的城市即可。

代码如下:

class Solution(object):
    def destCity(self, paths):
        """
        :type paths: List[List[str]]
        :rtype: str
        """
        dic_start = {}
        dic_end = {}
        res = ''
        for (i,j) in paths:
            dic_start[i] = dic_start.setdefault(i, 0) + 1
            dic_end[j] = dic_end.setdefault(j,0) + 1

        for (key,value) in dic_end.iteritems():
            if value == 1 and key not in dic_start:
                res = key
                break
        return res
