Given a string s of lowercase English alphabets and integer K. the task is to check if each character after increasing their ASCII by K is present in the string or not. Return only unique characters and the first index where they are present.
Examples:
Input: s = “dszepvaxuo”, k = 3
Output: {{1, ‘s’}, {6, ‘a’}, {8, ‘u’}}
Explanation: Moving each character 3 steps gives:
‘d’ -> ‘g’, ‘g’ is not present in s
‘s’ -> ‘v’, ‘v’ is present in s, thus, indices array becomes{{1, ‘s’}}
‘z’ -> ‘c’, ‘c’ is not present in s
‘e’ -> ‘h’, ‘h’ is not present in s
‘p’ -> ‘s’, ‘s’ is present in s, but is already present in indices array
‘v’ -> ‘y’, ‘y’ is not present in s
‘a’ -> ‘d’, ‘d’ is present in s, thus, indices array becomes {{1, ‘s’}. {6, ‘a’}}
‘x’ -> ‘a’, ‘a’ is present in s, but is already present in indices array
‘u’ -> ‘x’, ‘x’ is present in s, thus, indices array becomes {{1, ‘s’}, {6, ‘a’}, {8, ‘u’}}
‘o’ -> ‘r’, ‘r’ is not present in s
Thus, final indices array is {{1, ‘s’}, {6, ‘a’}, {8, ‘u’}}Input: s = “abcdefg”, k = 2
Output: {{0, ‘a’}, {1, ‘b’}, {4, ‘e’}}
Approach: The approach to solve the problem is as follows:
Store each character in a data structure (like set) for easy look up. Iterate over the string, check for each character if it satisfies the condition and is and add valid character’s indices to the output array if that character is not considered already.
Below is the implementation of the above approach.
// C++ code to implement the approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Function to find the characters // and their indices vector<pair< int , char > > characters_after_k_steps( int k,
string s)
{ // create a set for storing characters
set< char > st;
for ( int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++) {
st.insert(s[i]);
}
// Create a vector to store the final indices
// and characters as pair
vector<pair< int , char > > vec;
// Create a visited vector/array to check
// if a character has been previously encountered
// or not
vector< int > vis(26, 0);
// Iterate through the string, check for each character
// if after moving k steps ahead new character
// exists in the string using set.
// Also check if it has already visited or not
for ( int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++) {
char ans = char (( int (s[i]) + k));
if (ans >= 'a' && ans <= 'z' ) {
if (st.find(ans) != st.end() && !vis[ans - 'a' ]
&& !vis[s[i] - 'a' ]) {
vis[ans - 'a' ] = vis[s[i] - 'a' ] = 1;
vec.push_back(make_pair(i, s[i]));
}
}
}
// Return the vector as the answer
return vec;
} // Driver Code int main()
{ string s = "dszepvaxuo" ;
int K = 3;
// Function call
vector<pair< int , char > > ans
= characters_after_k_steps(K, s);
for ( auto it : ans)
cout << it.first << " " << it.second << endl;
return 0;
