In this approach, we use a closure to maintain the state across multiple calls to the counter function. The closure lets us keep track of the last counted value between function calls.
Time Complexity: O(1) per call.
Space Complexity: O(1) for maintaining the state.
1public class Counter {
2 public static System.Func<int> CreateCounter(int n) {
return () => n++;
}
}C# uses a delegate or lambda to preserve the state. The CreateCounter function returns a lambda that captures the variable n, allowing it to be incremented and returned on each call to the lambda.
This approach uses object-oriented programming to keep track of the counter's state across multiple invocations by encapsulating the state within a class instance.
Time Complexity: O(1) per call.
Space Complexity: O(1) for the instance state.
1class Counter:
2 def __init__(self, n):
3 self.count = n
4
5 def __call__(self):
6 current = self.count
7 self.count += 1
8 return currentThis Python solution utilizes a class where the count is maintained as an instance variable. Calling the instance returns the current count, increments it, and stores the new state.
