Twitter Online Assessment (OA) 2021 | Authentication Tokens

Most websites that require user login now utilize a "token" system. Every time a user logs into the website, they are issued a token so that when they go to the website again, they are authenticated with the token so they don't have to log in again. Usually a token has an expiration time so that after certain amount of inactivity, the token is voided.

In this particular system, there are two commands:

  • 0 <token_id> <time>: Generates a token token_id at time minutes. The token is valid for expiry_time minutes unless it is reset. This operation can only be done on a token that does not already exist. If a token with this ID already exists, regardless of whether it is active or expired, nothing happens.
  • 1 <token_id> <time>: Resets the token whose ID is token_id at time minutes. This operation resets the expiry timer so that this token will be valid for expiry_time minutes from time unless it is reset again. The token must exist and be active when this operation is performed. If the token does not already exist, or is already expired, this operation does nothing. A token can be reset multiple times, as long as each time the token is still valid.

Given a list of operations sorted chronologically, determine how many tokens are still active after the final operation.

Parameters

  • expiry_time: How long since the token was generated or reset before it expires.
  • operations: An integer matrix with n rows. Each row has 3 entries: operation, token_id, and time, representing an operation.

Result

  • The number of tokens still valid after the final operation.

Examples

Example 1:

Input:

expiry_time = 4

operations = [[0, 1, 1], [0, 2, 2], [1, 1, 5], [1, 2, 7]]

Output: 1

Explanation: Token 1 is initialized at T = 1 and token 2 is initialized at T = 2. When token 1 is reset at T = 5, it is still in the active period, so the token's lifespan is increased to T = 5 + 4 = 9. When token 2 is reset at T = 7, it already expired so nothing happens. After this operation, only token 1 is still valid.

Restrictions

  • 1 <= expiry_time <= 10^8
  • 1 <= n <= 10^5
  • 1 <= token_id <= 10^8
  • 1 <= T <= 10^8
