Problem
You have been tasked with writing a program for a popular bank that will automate all its incoming transactions (transfer, deposit, and withdraw). The bank has n accounts numbered from 1 to n. The initial balance of each account is stored in a 0-indexed integer array balance, with the (i + 1)th account having an initial balance of balance[i].
Execute all the valid transactions. A transaction is valid if:
- The given account number(s) are between
1andn, and - The amount of money withdrawn or transferred from is less than or equal to the balance of the account.
Implement the Bank class:
Bank(long[] balance)Initializes the object with the 0-indexed integer arraybalance.boolean transfer(int account1, int account2, long money)Transfersmoneydollars from the account numberedaccount1to the account numberedaccount2. Returntrueif the transaction was successful,falseotherwise.boolean deposit(int account, long money)Depositmoneydollars into the account numberedaccount. Returntrueif the transaction was successful,falseotherwise.boolean withdraw(int account, long money)Withdrawmoneydollars from the account numberedaccount. Returntrueif the transaction was successful,falseotherwise.
Examples
Example 1
**Input**
["Bank", "withdraw", "transfer", "deposit", "transfer", "withdraw"]
[[[10, 100, 20, 50, 30]], [3, 10], [5, 1, 20], [5, 20], [3, 4, 15], [10, 50]]
**Output**
[null, true, true, true, false, false]
**Explanation**
Bank bank = new Bank([10, 100, 20, 50, 30]);
bank.withdraw(3, 10); // return true, account 3 has a balance of $20, so it is valid to withdraw $10.
// Account 3 has $20 - $10 = $10.
bank.transfer(5, 1, 20); // return true, account 5 has a balance of $30, so it is valid to transfer $20.
// Account 5 has $30 - $20 = $10, and account 1 has $10 + $20 = $30.
bank.deposit(5, 20); // return true, it is valid to deposit $20 to account 5.
// Account 5 has $10 + $20 = $30.
bank.transfer(3, 4, 15); // return false, the current balance of account 3 is $10,
// so it is invalid to transfer $15 from it.
bank.withdraw(10, 50); // return false, it is invalid because account 10 does not exist.
Constraints
n == balance.length1 <= n, account, account1, account2 <= 10^50 <= balance[i], money <= 1012- At most
104calls will be made to each functiontransfer,deposit,withdraw.
Solution
Method 1 – Array Simulation
Intuition
Use an array to store balances. For each operation, check account validity and balance, then update accordingly.
Approach
- Store balances in an array (0-indexed, but accounts are 1-indexed).
- For each operation, check if account(s) are valid (1 <= account <= n).
- For withdraw/transfer, check if balance is sufficient.
- Update balances as needed and return True/False.
Code
C++
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
class Bank {
vector<long long> bal;
int n;
public:
Bank(vector<long long>& balance) : bal(balance), n(balance.size()) {}
bool valid(int acc) { return acc >= 1 && acc <= n; }
bool transfer(int acc1, int acc2, long long money) {
if (!valid(acc1) || !valid(acc2) || bal[acc1-1] < money) return false;
bal[acc1-1] -= money; bal[acc2-1] += money; return true;
}
bool deposit(int acc, long long money) {
if (!valid(acc)) return false;
bal[acc-1] += money; return true;
}
bool withdraw(int acc, long long money) {
if (!valid(acc) || bal[acc-1] < money) return false;
bal[acc-1] -= money; return true;
}
};
Java
class Bank {
private long[] bal;
private int n;
public Bank(long[] balance) {
bal = balance;
n = balance.length;
}
private boolean valid(int acc) { return acc >= 1 && acc <= n; }
public boolean transfer(int acc1, int acc2, long money) {
if (!valid(acc1) || !valid(acc2) || bal[acc1-1] < money) return false;
bal[acc1-1] -= money; bal[acc2-1] += money; return true;
}
public boolean deposit(int acc, long money) {
if (!valid(acc)) return false;
bal[acc-1] += money; return true;
}
public boolean withdraw(int acc, long money) {
if (!valid(acc) || bal[acc-1] < money) return false;
bal[acc-1] -= money; return true;
}
}
Python
class Bank:
def __init__(self, balance):
self.bal = balance
self.n = len(balance)
def valid(self, acc):
return 1 <= acc <= self.n
def transfer(self, acc1, acc2, money):
if not self.valid(acc1) or not self.valid(acc2) or self.bal[acc1-1] < money:
return False
self.bal[acc1-1] -= money
self.bal[acc2-1] += money
return True
def deposit(self, acc, money):
if not self.valid(acc):
return False
self.bal[acc-1] += money
return True
def withdraw(self, acc, money):
if not self.valid(acc) or self.bal[acc-1] < money:
return False
self.bal[acc-1] -= money
return True
Complexity
- ⏰ Time complexity:
O(1)per operation. - 🧺 Space complexity:
O(n)for the balances array.
