Binary String of given length that without a palindrome of size 3
Given an integer n. Find a string of characters ‘a’ and ‘b’ such that the string doesn’t contain any palindrome of length 3.
Examples:
Input : 3 Output : "aab" Explanation: aab is not a palindrome. Input : 5 Output : aabba Explanation: aabba does not contain a palindrome of size 3.
The approach here is that we can use this string ‘aabb’ and print the characters of the string according to the given integer.
We need to make make sure that every third character is different. If we perform operation AND on i and 2 where i = 0 to any positive integer. It will generate a pattern 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 2, 2,... 0 AND 2 = 0 1 AND 2 = 0 2 AND 2 = 2 3 AND 2 = 2 4 AND 2 = 0 //repeat the pattern.
Below is the code of above approach.
C++
// CPP program find a binary string of // given length that doesn't contain // a palindrome of size 3. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; void generatestring(int n) { // Printing the character according to i for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) putchar(i & 2 ? 'b' : 'a'); puts(""); } // Driver code int main() { int n = 5; generatestring(n); n = 8; generatestring(n); n = 10; generatestring(n); } |
