All O`one Data Structure

Try to solve the All O`one Data Structure problem.

Statement

Design a data structure that tracks the frequency of string keys and allows for efficient updates and queries.

Implement the AllOne class with these methods:

  • Constructor: Initializes the data structure.

  • inc(String key): Increases the count of the given key by 11. If the key is absent, insert it with a count of 11.

  • dec(String key): Decreases the count of the given key by 11. If the count becomes 00 after decrementing, remove the key entirely. The assumption is that the key exists when this function is called.

  • getMaxKey(): Returns any one key with the highest count. If the data structure is empty, return an empty string.

  • getMinKey(): Returns any one key with the lowest count. If the data structure is empty, return an empty string.

Note: All operations must be performed in average O(1)O(1) time complexity.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq key.length ≤10\leq 10

  • key consists only of lowercase English letters.

  • It is guaranteed that each call to dec is made with a key that exists in the data structure.

  • At most 5×1025 \times 10^2 calls will be made to inc, dec, getMaxKey, and getMinKey.
