Encode and Decode TinyURL

记录一些Python3库的用法

  • alpha = string.ascii_letters + ‘0123456789’ # 静态属性
  • random.choice() # Choose a random element from a non-empty sequence

长url转短url,看大佬如何思考:StefanPochmann Two solutions and thoughts
若短连接用自增数字来设计会带来一些隐患:

  1. 安全,别人容易按数字遍历获取所有url
  2. 对某些数字敏感的人可能不会接受
  3. 同样长度的编码,纯数字的编码数量少于字母+数字组合的

leetcode 原题:

535. Encode and Decode TinyURL

Note: This is a companion problem to the System Design problem: Design TinyURL.
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 a class to encode a URL and decode a tiny URL.

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.

Implement the Solution class:

  • Solution() Initializes the object of the system.
  • String encode(String longUrl) Returns a tiny URL for the given longUrl.
  • String decode(String shortUrl) Returns the original long URL for the given shortUrl. It is guaranteed that the given shortUrl was encoded by the same object.

Example 1:

Input: url = “https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl
Output: “https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl

Explanation:
Solution obj = new Solution();
string tiny = obj.encode(url); // returns the encoded tiny url.
string ans = obj.decode(tiny); // returns the original url after deconding it.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= url.length <= 104
  • url is guranteed to be a valid URL.
