Design In-Memory File System

Design a data structure that simulates an in-memory file system.

Implement the FileSystem class:

  • FileSystem() Initializes the object of the system.
  • List<String> ls(String path)
    • If path is a file path, returns a list that only contains this file's name.
    • If path is a directory path, returns the list of file and directory names in this directory.
    The answer should in lexicographic order.
  • void mkdir(String path) Makes a new directory according to the given path. The given directory path does not exist. If the middle directories in the path do not exist, you should create them as well.
  • void addContentToFile(String filePath, String content)
    • If filePath does not exist, creates that file containing given content.
    • If filePath already exists, appends the given content to original content.
  • String readContentFromFile(String filePath) Returns the content in the file at filePath.

 

Example 1:

Input
["FileSystem", "ls", "mkdir", "addContentToFile", "ls", "readContentFromFile"]
[[], ["/"], ["/a/b/c"], ["/a/b/c/d", "hello"], ["/"], ["/a/b/c/d"]]
Output
[null, [], null, null, ["a"], "hello"]

Explanation
FileSystem fileSystem = new FileSystem();
fileSystem.ls("/");                         // return []
fileSystem.mkdir("/a/b/c");
fileSystem.addContentToFile("/a/b/c/d", "hello");
fileSystem.ls("/");                         // return ["a"]
fileSystem.readContentFromFile("/a/b/c/d"); // return "hello"

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= path.length, filePath.length <= 100
  • path and filePath are absolute paths which begin with '/' and do not end with '/' except that the path is just "/".
  • You can assume that all directory names and file names only contain lowercase letters, and the same names will not exist in the same directory.
  • You can assume that all operations will be passed valid parameters, and users will not attempt to retrieve file content or list a directory or file that does not exist.
  • 1 <= content.length <= 50
  • At most 300 calls will be made to ls, mkdir, addContentToFile, and readContentFromFile.
