Make the String lexicographically larger

Improve Article Save Article Like Article Improve Article Save Article Like Article Given a string str of length n. The task is to find a lexicographic largest string where you are allowed to shift one character from str to any other index only one time.Examples:Input: n = 3, str = “bac”Output: “cba”Explanation: We can perform the given operation exactly one time on the string str and make many strings. Among them “cba” is lexicographically greater.Input: n = 6, str = “bacatf”Output: tbacaf Approach: This can be…

This String Theory “Star” Looks And Acts Exactly Like a Black Hole : ScienceAlert

Predicted over a century ago as monstrous concentrations of mass that torture the fabric of the Universe into traps of light and information, black holes are now established as objects of fact.But might every distortion of light we now come across be a certified concentration of infinite density, or should we leave room for the possibility that other exotic breeds of cosmic oddity might look uncannily like a hole in space as well?Using mathematical modeling preserved for string theory, a trio of physicists from Johns…

Rachel McAdams turned down a string of huge movies – and we should all be thankful | Rachel McAdams

Hollywood etiquette dictates that when a Hollywood star passes on a role, they don’t talk about it. To do so wouldn’t be fair on the actor who eventually took the role, since this would doom them to an indefinite future of potentially invidious comparisons.There are exceptions, of course. Matt Damon tells a nice story about how he didn’t want to star in Avatar, largely out of faux bitterness at the payday he missed out on. Brad Pitt, too, will admit that he turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix, but this is famously…

How to Do Fuzzy String Matching in Pandas Dataframes

Matching text where there’s no perfect matchPhoto by Lucas Santos on UnsplashThe real world is not perfect.People use different forms of the same piece of information. Even well-established systems use different standards. You’d have seen city names misspelled, like “Santana” instead of “Santa Ana” or “St. Louie” instead of “St. Louis.”When working with real-world data, this is inevitable. Thus we must ensure that the data we take to the next steps in our pipeline are standardized.We can tackle this problem with Fuzzy…

Minimize adjacent character differences in palindromic string with ‘?’

import java.lang.Math;  public class Main {    public static int minimumSum(String s)    {        int i, j, n, len_s, diff, ans = 0;        char last = '\0';          len_s = s.length();                          for (i = 0, j = len_s - 1; i < j; i++, j--) {                                    if (s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j)) {                continue;            }                                    else if (s.charAt(i) == '?'                     && s.charAt(j) != '?') {                s = s.substring(0, i) +…

Replace ‘?’ in string with zero or one

Given a binary string consisting of 0s and 1s and ‘?’ characters and an integer K, it is allowed to replace ‘?’ with 0 or 1, the task is to check if there is a unique way of replacing ‘?’ with 0s and 1s such that there is only 1 substring of K length containing all 1s. If there is only one way to do so print “Yes” otherwise “No” in all other cases.Note: There should be only 1 possible position of K length substring of all 1s for the answer to be Yes.Examples:Input: S = ?1?0, K = 2Output: NoExplanation: There are two…

Make string S equal to T after replacing some prefix characters in S

#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;  int solve(string s, string t){    int n = s.size();    string ss = s, tt = t;    sort(ss.begin(), ss.end()), sort(tt.begin(), tt.end());          if (ss != tt) {        return -1;    }    int ans = n;    int left = 0, right = n - 1;    reverse(t.begin(), t.end());    while (left < right) {                  int mid = (left + right) / 2;        int cur = n - 1;        for (auto ch : t) {            if (cur == mid - 1)                break;…

Make S into an alternate binary string by replacing any character with 0 or 1 up to K times

  import java.util.*;public class GFG {          public static void main(String args)    {                  String str = "akmzaxazmk";        int K = 6;                  AlterString(str, K);    }                  static void AlterString(String str, int K)    {                          boolean flag = true;                          HashMap<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();                  for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {…
