Substring Matching with Prefix and Suffix Scores
Given three strings: text, prefixString, and suffixString, find:
- Prefix score: The longest substring of
textthat matches the end ofprefixString. - Suffix score: The longest substring of
textthat matches the start ofsuffixString. - Total score: The sum of the prefix score and the suffix score.
Return the substring of text that:
- Begins with the matched prefix.
- Ends with the matched suffix.
- Has the highest total score.
Example
Input:
text = "engine"
prefixString = "raven"
suffixString = "ginkgo"
Processing:
"engine"matches"raven"at the end, soprefixScore = 2("ne")."engine"matches"ginkgo"at the start, sosuffixScore = 3("gin").totalScore = 2 + 3 = 5.- The substring
"engin"is selected as it starts with"ne"and ends with"gin".
Output:
"engin"
Solution Approach
Use dynamic programming to compute the longest common suffix and prefix efficiently.
Counting Unique Palindromic Substrings
A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards, such as "121" or "tacocat".
A substring is a continuous sequence of characters within a string.
Problem
Given a string s, count how many unique substrings of s are palindromes.
Example
Input:
s = "mokkori"
Distinct Palindromes:
The unique palindromic substrings in "mokkori" are:
"m""o""k""kk""r""i""okk"
Output:
7
Solution Approach
- Expand Around Centers: For each character (or pair of adjacent characters), expand outwards while maintaining a palindrome.
- Use a HashSet: Store palindromic substrings to ensure uniqueness.
- Time Complexity:
O(n^2)using a two-pointer expansion method.
