K-th Symbol in Grammar in C++
Suppose on the first row, we have a 0. Now in every subsequent row, we look at the previous row and replace each occurrence of 0 by 01, and each occurrence of 1 by 10. Suppose we have N rows and index K, we have to find the K-th indexed symbol in row N. (The values of K are 1-indexed.) (1 indexed). So if N = 4 and K = 5, then the output will be 1. This is because −
- Row 1: 0
- Row 2: 01
- Row 3: 0110
- Row 4: 01101001
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
- Suppose the name of the method is kthGrammar. This takes N and K.
- if N is 1, then return 0
- if k is even, return 1 when then kthGrammar(N – 1, K/2) is 0, otherwise 0
- otherwise return kthGrammar(N – 1, (K + 1)/2)
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class Solution {
public:
int kthGrammar(int N, int K) {
if(N == 1) return 0;
if(K % 2 == 0){
return kthGrammar(N - 1, K / 2) == 0 ? 1 : 0;
}else{
return kthGrammar(N - 1, (K + 1) / 2);
}
}
};
main(){
Solution ob;
cout << (ob.kthGrammar(4, 5));
}Input
4 5
Output
1
