1206\. Design Skiplist

Hard

Design a **Skiplist** without using any built-in libraries.

A **skiplist** is a data structure that takes `O(log(n))` time to add, erase and search. Comparing with treap and red-black tree which has the same function and performance, the code length of Skiplist can be comparatively short and the idea behind Skiplists is just simple linked lists.

For example, we have a Skiplist containing `[30,40,50,60,70,90]` and we want to add `80` and `45` into it. The Skiplist works this way:

You can see there are many layers in the Skiplist. Each layer is a sorted linked list. With the help of the top layers, add, erase and search can be faster than `O(n)`. It can be proven that the average time complexity for each operation is `O(log(n))` and space complexity is `O(n)`.

Implement the `Skiplist` class:

*   `Skiplist()` Initializes the object of the skiplist.
*   `bool search(int target)` Returns `true` if the integer `target` exists in the Skiplist or `false` otherwise.
*   `void add(int num)` Inserts the value `num` into the SkipList.
*   `bool erase(int num)` Removes the value `num` from the Skiplist and returns `true`. If `num` does not exist in the Skiplist, do nothing and return `false`. If there exist multiple `num` values, removing any one of them is fine.

Note that duplicates may exist in the Skiplist, your code needs to handle this situation.

**Example 1:**

**Input**

["Skiplist", "add", "add", "add", "search", "add", "search", "erase", "erase", "search"]

[[], [1], [2], [3], [0], [4], [1], [0], [1], [1]]

**Output:** [null, null, null, null, false, null, true, false, true, false]

**Explanation:** 

    Skiplist skiplist = new Skiplist(); 
    skiplist.add(1); 
    skiplist.add(2); 
    skiplist.add(3); 
    skiplist.search(0); // return False 
    skiplist.add(4); 
    skiplist.search(1); // return True 
    skiplist.erase(0); // return False, 0 is not in skiplist. 
    skiplist.erase(1); // return True 
    skiplist.search(1); // return False, 1 has already been erased.

**Constraints:**

*   0 <= num, target <= 2 * 104
*   At most 5 * 104 calls will be made to `search`, `add`, and `erase`.
