ABCD - Colours A, B, C, D |
Consider a table with 2 rows and 2N columns (a total of 4N cells). Each cell of the first row is coloured by one of the colours A, B, C, D such that there are no two adjacent cells of the same colour. You have to colour the second row using colours A, B, C, D such that:
- There are exactly N cells of each colour (A, B, C and D) in the table.
- There are no two adjacent cells of the same colour. (Adjacent cells share a vertical or a horizontal side.)
It is guaranteed that the solution, not necessarily unique, will always exist.
Input
[a natural number N ≤ 50000]
[a string of 2N letters from the set {A, B, C, D}, representing the first row of the table]
Output
[a string of 2N letters from the set {A, B, C, D}, representing the second row of the table]
Example
Input: 1 CB Output: AD
Input: 2 ABAD Output: BCDC

I think all possible permutations are not considered in the solution that's why its giving wrong ans on 18th test case... can any tell me what is 18th case.I have tried all possible test cases...can't find the error.... |

There are several solutions, but if you apply the correct logic you will get one and only one. Nice problem indeed. |

It's not test 18, it's wrong answer in general. |

I got an internal error while submitting the code in python. id is 13082356 [reply by cyclops: Python 3.4 is not available on Pyramid cluster, but as all problems are being migrated to Cube this will soon be a non-issue.] Last edit: 2014-12-07 16:56:26 |

once you figure how it can be done in O(n), it just isn't a trouble anymore. AC in first O(n) attempt . though dfs seems like the more natural solution,, it sure gives TLE |

after WA,TLE,SIGSEGV finally get AC in a simple way in O(n), but still TLE with backtrace and dfs. hints: (1)input format is: 1 CB rather than: 1 CB (2)test cases found in the forum and below 3 ABACAD 2 ABAD 3 DBADBA 3 ACBACB 3 ADCADC 7 ABCDABDADBDABD Last edit: 2014-05-14 07:23:12 |
