EDIT - Edit Distance Again |
As any experienced programmer must know the famous problem of "Edit Distance", however this problem is considered an “alternating chain” if you have alternately made case sensitive.
Example: "AaAaAbB" "B" "a" "aBaCdEf"
Alternating chains are considered in our problem.
We only have one operation that is permitted in exchange for a lower or upper case Latin letter.
Given a string giving the minimum number of changes to be considered an alternating chain.
Input
A string with no spaces line containing only uppercase and lowercase letters, one for each line of maximum length 1000 until end of file
Output
For each line print the minimum number of changes to the chain is a "chain alternately"
Example
Input: AaAaB ABaa a Output: 0 2 0

Can anyone explain why the result for test case "ABaa" is 2? I think it is 1, one move ABaa->AaBa or ABaa->aBaA. |

Solved it! But the leaderboard is filled with 0.00s time while I got 0.01s even though my solution is O(n). Here's my code <snip> Last edit: 2022-08-10 17:01:49 |

The statement is of very poor quality, but got AC first try so it's not bugged. |
