In this article, we are going to delve into an interesting problem related to string manipulation and dynamic programming in various programming languages. The problem we're discussing today is "Maximize the count of 3-length palindromic subsequences with each index part of a single subsequence". Problem Statement Given a string, the task is to find the maximum count of 3-length palindromic subsequences such that each index in the string is a part of a single subsequence. A 3-length palindromic subsequence is a subsequence of the form "aba", where 'a' and 'b' are any characters. Solution Approach To solve this problem, we'll ... Read More
In this problem, we need to maximize the ‘10’ subsequences in the given binary string by replacing the 0 or 1 ‘0’ character with ‘1’. We can replace each ‘0’ with ‘1’ one after another and find a maximum number of ‘10’ subsequences in the updated string. Problem statement − We have given a binary string named str1 containing only 0 and 1 characters. We can replace at most one ‘0’ with ‘1’ and need to find the maximum number of ‘10’ subsequences in the given string. Sample Examples Input str1 = "10110" Output 4 Explanation The ‘10110’ ...

In this problem, we will make all strings of the given array palindromic by swapping the characters of the adjacent string. To solve the problem, we will try to make the character the same at p and str_len - p - 1 index in all strings, and it is only possible if overall characters at pth index and (str_len - p - 1) index is same. Problem statement - We have given an arr containing multiple strings of the same length equal to N. We need to count the minimum number of operations required to make all strings of ... Read More
In the realm of string manipulation, identifying patterns and extracting meaningful substrings are common tasks. One intriguing problem involves finding the longest substring where no adjacent characters are adjacent English alphabets. In this article, we'll delve into an efficient solution to this problem, along with a clear explanation and an example test case. Problem Statement Given a string of lowercase English alphabets, we need to find the length of the longest substring where no adjacent characters are adjacent English alphabets. For example, in the string "abacabx", the longest substring satisfying this condition is "abx", with a length of 3. Approach ... Read More
In this problem, we will find the longest substring of A to convert it to a substring of B starting from the same index in less than T cost. We will use the binary search algorithm to find the maximum length of the substring which follows the given condition. However, the naïve approach to solving the problem is to find all substrings following the conditions in the problem statement and take the substring with maximum length. Problem statement − We have given a string A and B of length N. Also, we have given a total cost, ‘T’. The ... Read More
String manipulation is an essential topic in computer science that involves operations such as concatenation, substring, reversing, and more. One interesting problem related to string manipulation is to find the lexicographic rank of a string among all its substrings. In this article, we will discuss an algorithm to solve this problem using recursion and backtracking. Problem Statement Given a string S of length N, we have to find the lexicographic rank of S among all its substrings. The lexicographic rank is defined as the position of a string in the lexicographically sorted list of all its substrings. Approach We can ... Read More
In this article, we will explore an intriguing problem that involves binary strings and lexicographic ordering. Our task is to find the lexicographic rank of a given binary string. We'll demonstrate our solution, a popular programming language known for its efficiency and flexibility. Understanding Lexicographic Ordering Lexicographic or lexicographical ordering (also known as alphabetical or dictionary ordering) refers to the arrangement of words based on the alphabetical order of their component letters. Problem Statement Given a binary string, we need to determine its lexicographic rank among all its permutations. The lexicographic rank of a string is its position in the ... Read More
In this article, we will explore the problem of finding the lengths of maximized partitions of a string with unique characters. We will first understand the problem statement and then investigate both the naive and efficient approaches to solve this problem, along with their respective algorithms and time complexities. Lastly, we will implement the solution. Problem Statement Given a string, partition the string into as many substrings as possible such that each character of the string appears in only one substring. Return the lengths of these maximized partitions. Naive Approach The naive approach is to iterate through the string, ... Read More
In this article, we will discuss the problem of finding the length of the longest substring that needs to be deleted to make one string equal to another. We will first understand the problem statement and then explore both the naive and efficient approaches to solve this problem, along with their respective algorithms and time complexities. Lastly, we will implement the solution. Problem Statement Given two strings, A and B, determine the length of the longest substring that needs to be deleted from string A to make it equal to string B. Naive Approach The naive approach is to generate ... Read More
In this article, we delve into a fascinating problem in the realm of string manipulation and anagram analysis. Specifically, we'll be finding the length of the longest prefix anagram that is common to two given strings. Our solution leverages C, C++, Java and Python, a powerful and versatile programming languages beloved by software developers. Understanding Anagrams An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For instance, the words 'listen' and 'silent' are anagrams of each other. Problem Statement Given two strings, we ... Read More
