Donada una cadena que té alguns caràcters de l'alfabet en minúscules i un punt de caràcter especial (.). Hem de substituir tots els punts per algun caràcter de l'alfabet de manera que la cadena resultant es converteixi en un palíndrom en cas de moltes substitucions possibles, hem de triar la cadena de palíndrom que sigui lexicogràficament més petita. Si no és possible convertir la cadena en palíndrom després de tots els possibles reemplaçaments, no és possible la sortida.
Exemples:
Input : str = ab..e.c.a Output : abcaeacba The smallest palindrome which can be made after replacement is 'abcaeacba' We replaced first dot with 'c' second dot with 'a' third dot with 'a' and fourth dot with 'b' Input : str = ab..e.c.b Output : Not Possible It is not possible to convert above string into palindrome
Podem resoldre aquest problema de la següent manera Com que la cadena resultant ha de ser un palíndrom, podem comprovar un parell de caràcters sense punts en començar si no coincideixen, llavors no és possible el retorn directe perquè podem col·locar un caràcter nou a la posició dels punts només en cap altre lloc.
Després d'això, iterem sobre els caràcters de la cadena si el caràcter actual és un punt, després comprovem el seu caràcter aparellat (caràcter a la (n – i -1)a posició) si aquest caràcter també és punt, podem substituir els dos caràcters per "a" perquè "a" és l'alfabet més petit en minúscula, cosa que garantirà la cadena lexicogràfica més petita al final, substituir ambdues per qualsevol altre caràcter, donarà lloc a una cadena lexicogràfica més gran. En un altre cas, si el caràcter aparellat no és un punt, per fer palíndrom de cadena hem de substituir el caràcter actual pel seu caràcter aparellat.
So in short If both 'i' and 'n- i- 1' are dot replace them by ‘a’ If one of them is a dot character replace that by other non-dot character
El procediment anterior ens dóna la cadena de palíndrom més petita lexicogràficament.
