1487\. Making File Names Unique
Medium
Given an array of strings `names` of size `n`. You will create `n` folders in your file system **such that**, at the ith
minute, you will create a folder with the name `names[i]`.
Since two files **cannot** have the same name, if you enter a folder name that was previously used, the system will have a suffix addition to its name in the form of `(k)`, where, `k` is the **smallest positive integer** such that the obtained name remains unique.
Return _an array of strings of length_ `n` where `ans[i]` is the actual name the system will assign to the ith
folder when you create it.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** names = ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
**Output:** ["pes","fifa","gta","pes(2019)"]
**Explanation:** Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"pes" --> not assigned before, remains "pes"
"fifa" --> not assigned before, remains "fifa"
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"pes(2019)" --> not assigned before, remains "pes(2019)"
**Example 2:**
**Input:** names = ["gta","gta(1)","gta","avalon"]
**Output:** ["gta","gta(1)","gta(2)","avalon"]
**Explanation:** Let's see how the file system creates folder names:
"gta" --> not assigned before, remains "gta"
"gta(1)" --> not assigned before, remains "gta(1)"
"gta" --> the name is reserved, system adds (k), since "gta(1)" is also reserved, systems put k = 2. it becomes "gta(2)"
"avalon" --> not assigned before, remains "avalon"
**Example 3:**
**Input:** names = ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece"]
**Output:** ["onepiece","onepiece(1)","onepiece(2)","onepiece(3)","onepiece(4)"]
**Explanation:** When the last folder is created, the smallest positive valid k is 4, and it becomes "onepiece(4)".
**Constraints:**
* 1 <= names.length <= 5 * 104
* `1 <= names[i].length <= 20`
* `names[i]` consists of lowercase English letters, digits, and/or round brackets.
