Design a data structure that supports all following operations in average O(1) time.
Note: Duplicate elements are allowed.
- insert(val): Inserts an item val to the collection.
- remove(val): Removes an item val from the collection if present.
- getRandom: Returns a random element from current collection of elements. The probability of each element being returned is linearly related to the number of same value the collection contains.
Example:// Init an empty collection. RandomizedCollection collection = new RandomizedCollection(); // Inserts 1 to the collection. Returns true as the collection did not contain 1. collection.insert(1); // Inserts another 1 to the collection. Returns false as the collection contained 1. Collection now contains [1,1]. collection.insert(1); // Inserts 2 to the collection, returns true. Collection now contains [1,1,2]. collection.insert(2); // getRandom should return 1 with the probability 2/3, and returns 2 with the probability 1/3. collection.getRandom(); // Removes 1 from the collection, returns true. Collection now contains [1,2]. collection.remove(1); // getRandom should return 1 and 2 both equally likely. collection.getRandom();

Replaced HashSet with LinkedHashSet because the set.iterator() might be costly when a number has too many duplicates. Using LinkedHashSet can be considered as O(1) if we only get the first element to remove.
// arr = all the elems in the list
// index = a map storing the index of the elem in the list
class RandomizedCollection {
Map<Integer, LinkedHashSet<Integer>> index;
List<Integer> arr;
java.util.Random rd = new java.util.Random();
/** Initialize your data structure here. */
public RandomizedCollection() {
index = new HashMap<>();
arr = new ArrayList<>();
}
/** Inserts a value to the collection. Returns true if the collection did not already contain the specified element. */
public boolean insert(int val) {
boolean res = index.containsKey(val);
if(!res){
index.put(val,new LinkedHashSet<Integer>());
// maintains the order of insersion
}
(index.get(val)).add(arr.size());
arr.add(val);
return !res;
}
/** Removes a value from the collection. Returns true if the collection contained the specified element. */
public boolean remove(int val) {
if(!index.containsKey(val)) return false;
LinkedHashSet<Integer> set = index.get(val);
// linked hash set is faster using its iterator to get next()
int idx = set.iterator().next();
int replacement = arr.get(arr.size()-1);
// replace with the last elem in the array
arr.set(idx,replacement);
set.remove(idx);
// if the last elem in the array is the element to delete
if(idx==arr.size()-1){
arr.remove(idx);
}else{
// if not, set the index of replacement elem to the index of removed elem
// delete the last elem from the array
(index.get(replacement)).remove(arr.size() - 1);
(index.get(replacement)).add(idx);
arr.remove(arr.size()-1);
}
if(set.isEmpty()) index.remove(val);
return true;
}
/** Get a random element from the collection. */
public int getRandom() {
// Random rd = new Random();
// this should be initiate in the beginning to avoid multiple space
int idx = rd.nextInt(arr.size());
return arr.get(idx);
}
// return arr.get( rd.nextInt(arr.size()) );
}
