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

Same Problem! Getting WA in test case 18. I think their output file does not contain all the possible solutions (permutations) for the test case 18. The author of the problem needs to review his output file. |

Your solution prints debug information, like "Scanning to fill space" Last edit: 2011-05-22 11:56:32 |

Nice problem! :-) Beware: Take care of initialisation of maximum length to 2*MAXN and not MAXN. (Took me 3 SIGABRT's to realise it.) Last edit: 2011-04-27 09:12:01 |
