Given two strings S1 and S2 consisting of N and M characters, the task is to check if the string S1 can be made equal to any permutation of S2 after adding or removing a character a prime number of times from the string S1. If it is possible then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Examples:

Input: S1 = “gekforgk”, S2 = “geeksforgeeks”
Output: Yes
Explanation:
If character ‘e’ is added 3(which is a prime number) times and character ‘s’ is added two(which is a prime number) times to S1 it will be “gekforgkeeess” which is a permutation of S2. Therefore, print Yes.

Input: S1 = “xyzzyzz”, S2 = “xyy”
Output: No

Approach: The given problem can be solved by counting the frequency of characters in strings S1 and S2 and if the difference in any of the frequency of the characters is not prime then print “No”. Otherwise, print “Yes”. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if the given
// number is prime or not
bool isPrime(int n)
{
     
    // If the number is less than 2
    if (n <= 1)
        return false;
 
    // If the number is 2
    else if (n == 2)
        return true;
 
    // If N is a multiple of 2
    else if (n % 2 == 0)
        return false;
 
    // Otherwise, check for the
    // odds values
    for(int i = 3;i <= sqrt(n); i += 2)
    {
        if (n % i == 0)
            return false;
    }
    return true;
}
 
// Function to check if S1 can be
// a permutation of S2 by adding
// or removing characters from S1
void checkPermutation(string s1, string s2)
{
     
    // Initialize a frequency array
    int freq[26] = {0};
     
    // Decrement the frequency for
    // occurrence in s1
    for(char ch : s1)
    {
        freq[ch - 'a']--;
    }
 
    // Increment the frequency for
    // occurrence in s2
    for(char ch : s2)
    {
        freq[ch - 'a']++;
    }
 
    bool isAllChangesPrime = true;
 
    for(int i = 0; i < 26; i++)
    {
         
        // If frequency of current
        // char is same in s1 and s2
        if (freq[i] == 0)
        {
            continue;
        }
 
        // Check the frequency for
        // the current char is not
        // prime
        else if (!isPrime(abs(freq[i])))
        {
            isAllChangesPrime = false;
            break;
        }
    }
 
    // Print the result
    if (isAllChangesPrime)
    {
        cout << "Yes";
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "No";
    }
}
