Given a string S, the task is to count the number of Reverse Bitonic Substrings in the given string.

Reverse bitonic substring: A string in which the ASCII values of the characters of the string follow any of the following patterns:

  • Strictly Increasing
  • Strictly decreasing
  • Decreasing and then increasing

Examples:

Input: S = “bade”
Output: 10
Explanation:  
All possible substrings of length 1, {“b”, “a”, “d”, “e”} are always reverse  bitonic. 
Substrings of length 2 which are reverse bitonic are {“ba”, “ad”, “de”}.
Substrings of length 3 which are reverse bitonic are {“bad “, “ade”}.
Only substring of length 4 which is reverse bitonic is “bade”.
Therefore, the count of reverse bitonic substrings is 10.

Input: S = “abc”
Output: 6

Approach :
The approach is to generate all possible substrings of the given string and follow the steps below for each substring to solve the problem:

  • Traverse the string and for each character, check if the ASCII value of the next character is smaller than the ASCII value of the current character or not.
  • If at any point, the ASCII value of the next character is greater than the ASCII value of the current character, traverse from that index and for each character from now onwards, check if the ASCII value of the next character is greater than the ASCII value of the current character or not.
  • If at any point, the ASCII value of the next character is smaller than the ASCII value of the current character before the end of the substring is reached, then ignore the substring.
  • If the end of the substring is reached, increase count.
  • After completing all the above steps for all substrings, print the final value of count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach :

C++




// C++ Program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the number
// of reverse bitonic substrings
int CountsubString(char str[], int n)
{
    // Stores the count
    int c = 0;
 
    // All possible lengths of substrings
    for (int len = 1; len <= n; len++) {
 
        // Starting point of a substring
        for (int i = 0; i <= n - len; i++) {
 
            // Ending point of a substring
            int j = i + len - 1;
 
            char temp = str[i], f = 0;
 
            // Condition for reverse
            // bitonic substrings of
            // length 1
            if (j == i) {
 
                c++;
                continue;
            }
 
            int k = i + 1;
 
            // Check for decreasing sequence
            while (temp > str[k] && k <= j) {
 
                temp = str[k];
 
                k++;
            }
 
            // If end of substring
            // is reached
            if (k > j) {
                c++;
                f = 2;
            }
 
            // For increasing sequence
            while (temp < str[k] && k <= j
                && f != 2) {
 
                temp = str[k];
 
                k++;
            }
 
            // If end of substring
            // is reached
            if (k > j && f != 2) {
                c++;
                f = 0;
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Return the number
    // of bitonic substrings
    return c;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "bade";
    cout << CountsubString(str, strlen(str));
 
    return 0;
}
