    981 - Time Based Key-Value Store.

    Medium

    Design a time-based key-value data structure that can store multiple values for the same key at different time stamps and retrieve the key’s value at a certain timestamp.

    Implement the TimeMap class:

    • TimeMap() Initializes the object of the data structure.
    • void set(String key, String value, int timestamp) Stores the key key with the value value at the given time timestamp.
    • String get(String key, int timestamp) Returns a value such that set was called previously, with timestamp_prev <= timestamp. If there are multiple such values, it returns the value associated with the largest timestamp_prev. If there are no values, it returns "".

    Example 1:

    Input

    [“TimeMap”, “set”, “get”, “get”, “set”, “get”, “get”]

    [ [], [“foo”, “bar”, 1], [“foo”, 1], [“foo”, 3], [“foo”, “bar2”, 4], [“foo”, 4], [“foo”, 5]]

    Output: [null, null, “bar”, “bar”, null, “bar2”, “bar2”]

    Explanation:

     TimeMap timeMap = new TimeMap();
     timeMap.set("foo", "bar", 1); // store the key "foo" and value "bar" along with timestamp = 1.
     timeMap.get("foo", 1); // return "bar"
     timeMap.get("foo", 3); // return "bar", since there is no value corresponding to foo at timestamp 3
     // and timestamp 2, then the only value is at timestamp 1 is "bar".
     timeMap.set("foo", "bar2", 4); // store the key "foo" and value "bar2" along with timestamp = 4.
     timeMap.get("foo", 4); // return "bar2" timeMap.get("foo", 5); // return "bar2" 
    

    Constraints:

    • 1 <= key.length, value.length <= 100
    • key and value consist of lowercase English letters and digits.
    • 1 <= timestamp <= 107
    • All the timestamps timestamp of set are strictly increasing.
    • At most 2 * 105 calls will be made to set and get.
