Given a string S     which contains only I     (increase) and D     (decrease). The task is to return any permutation of integers [0, 1, …, N] where N ? Length of S such that for all i = 0, …, N-1

  1. If S[i] == “D”, then A[i] > A[i+1]
  2. If S[i] == “I”, then A[i] < A[i+1].

Note that output must contain distinct elements.

Examples: 

Input: S = “DDI” 
Output: [3, 2, 0, 1]

Input: S = “IDID” 
Output: [0, 4, 1, 3, 2] 

Approach: 

If S[0] == “I”, then choose 0     as the first element. Similarly, if S[0] == “D”, then choose N     as the first element. Now for every I     operation, choose the next maximum element which hasn’t been chosen before from the range [0, N], and for the D     operation, choose the next minimum.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

//C++ Implementation of above approach
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
    // function to find minimum required permutation
    void  StringMatch(string s)
    {
    int lo=0, hi = s.length(), len=s.length();
    vector<int> ans;
    for (int x=0;x<len;x++)
    {
        if (s[x] == 'I')
        {
            ans.push_back(lo) ;
            lo += 1;
            }
        else
        {
            ans.push_back(hi) ;
            hi -= 1;
            }
    }
            ans.push_back(lo) ;
    cout<<"[";
    for(int i=0;i<ans.size();i++)
    {
    cout<<ans[i];
    if(i!=ans.size()-1)
    cout<<",";
    }
    cout<<"]";
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
string S = "IDID";
StringMatch(S);
return 0;

    {

        {

            lo += 1;

Output
[0,4,1,3,2]

Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the length of the given string.
Auxiliary Space: O(n), where n is the length of the given string.
