2109. Adding Spaces to a String

You are given a 0-indexed string s and a 0-indexed integer array spaces that describes the indices in the original string where spaces will be added. Each space should be inserted before the character at the given index.

• For example, given s = "EnjoyYourCoffee" and spaces = [5, 9], we place spaces before 'Y' and 'C', which are at indices 5 and 9 respectively. Thus, we obtain "Enjoy Your Coffee".

Return the modified string after the spaces have been added.

Example 1:

Input: s = "LeetcodeHelpsMeLearn", spaces = [8,13,15]
Output: "Leetcode Helps Me Learn"
Explanation:
The indices 8, 13, and 15 correspond to the underlined characters in "LeetcodeHelpsMeLearn".
We then place spaces before those characters.

Example 2:

Input: s = "icodeinpython", spaces = [1,5,7,9]
Output: "i code in py thon"
Explanation:
The indices 1, 5, 7, and 9 correspond to the underlined characters in "icodeinpython".
We then place spaces before those characters.

Example 3:

Input: s = "spacing", spaces = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: " s p a c i n g"
Explanation:
We are also able to place spaces before the first character of the string.

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 3 * 105
• s consists only of lowercase and uppercase English letters.
• 1 <= spaces.length <= 3 * 105
• 0 <= spaces[i] <= s.length - 1
• All the values of spaces are strictly increasing.

Solutions (Rust)

1. Solution

impl Solution {
    pub fn add_spaces(s: String, spaces: Vec<i32>) -> String {
        let s = s.as_bytes();
        let mut prev = 0;
        let mut ret = vec![];

        for i in spaces {
            for j in prev..i as usize {
                ret.push(s[j]);
            }
            ret.push(b' ');
            prev = i as usize;
        }

        for j in prev..s.len() {
            ret.push(s[j]);
        }

        String::from_utf8(ret).unwrap()
    }
