LC: 1427. Perform String Shifts

Question

1427. Perform String Shifts

You are given a string s containing lowercase English letters, and a matrix shift, where shift[i] = [directioni, amounti]:

• directioni can be 0 (for left shift) or 1 (for right shift).

• amounti is the amount by which string s is to be shifted.

• A left shift by 1 means remove the first character of s and append it to the end.

• Similarly, a right shift by 1 means remove the last character of s and add it to the beginning.

Return the final string after all operations.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abc", shift = [[0,1],[1,2]]
Output: "cab"
Explanation: 
[0,1] means shift to left by 1. "abc" -> "bca"
[1,2] means shift to right by 2. "bca" -> "cab"

Example 2:

Input: s = "abcdefg", shift = [[1,1],[1,1],[0,2],[1,3]]
Output: "efgabcd"
Explanation:  
[1,1] means shift to right by 1. "abcdefg" -> "gabcdef"
[1,1] means shift to right by 1. "gabcdef" -> "fgabcde"
[0,2] means shift to left by 2. "fgabcde" -> "abcdefg"
[1,3] means shift to right by 3. "abcdefg" -> "efgabcd"

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 100

• s only contains lower case English letters.

• 1 <= shift.length <= 100

• shift[i].length == 2

• directioni is either 0 or 1.

• 0 <= amounti <= 100
