leetcode535 - Encode and Decode TinyURL - medium

TinyURL is a URL shortening service where you enter a URL such as https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl and it returns a short URL such as http://tinyurl.com/4e9iAk.
Design the encode and decode methods for the TinyURL service. There is no restriction on how your encode/decode algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a URL can be encoded to a tiny URL and the tiny URL can be decoded to the original URL.

Map.
核心共同思想是，产生一个随机数作为当前原url的signature，把signature-original pair放入map后，以后你看到短url提取到signature，就可以再利用map提取到original url了。
产生随机数的方法：
1.count递增。 安全性有问题，而且不一定能缩短，int有限。
2.count递增，并且用26+26+10个字符dict组合上取余除法大发转化成String。和上面雷同，小好处是String可以把int缩短一点。
3.java自带的hashCode。str.hashCode()。缺点是可能会collision，然后你又很难临时创造新的不collision的hashCode。
4.random number + dict。好处是可以产生固定长度的。写一个取固定长度随机字符串作为signature的函数。比如长度为6，你就随机6次从dict里取到新char粘成一个signature，如果这个signature被用过了，就重新取一次signature直到成功。较为稳定不会忽长忽短，空间也足够62^6如果不够还可以比较方便地拓展。

细节：
1.为了增强shortURL的可读性，给随机数前面要加一些域名。decode的时候用到replace方法。

实现4：

public class Codec {

    private String dict = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    private int keyLength = 6;
    private Random rd = new Random();
    private Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();

    // Encodes a URL to a shortened URL.
    public String encode(String longUrl) {
        String signature = getRand();
        while (map.containsKey(signature)) {
            signature = getRand();
        }
        map.put(signature, longUrl);
        return "http://tinyurl.com/" + signature;
    }

    // Decodes a shortened URL to its original URL.
    public String decode(String shortUrl) {
        return map.get(shortUrl.replace("http://tinyurl.com/", ""));
    }

    private String getRand() {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < keyLength; i++) {
            sb.append(dict.charAt(rd.nextInt(dict.length())));
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}

// Your Codec object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Codec codec = new Codec();
// codec.decode(codec.encode(url));
