Lapindromes
Problem link: Codechef
Lapindrome is defined as a string
which when split in the middle, gives two halves having the same characters and the same frequency of each character. If there are an odd number of characters in the
string, we ignore the middle character and check for lapindrome. For example, gaga is
a lapindrome, since the two halves ga and ga have
the same characters with the same frequency. Also, abccab, rotor, and xyzxy are
a few examples of lapindromes. Note that abbaab is NOT
a lapindrome. The two halves contain the same characters but their frequencies
do not match.
Your task is simple. Given a string, you need to tell if it is a lapindrome.
Input:
The first line of input contains a
single integer T, the number of test cases.
Each test is a single line containing a string S composed of
only lowercase English alphabet.
Output:
For each test case, output on a
separate line: "YES" if the string is a lapindrome and "NO"
if it is not.
Constraints:
·
1 ≤ T ≤
100
·
2 ≤ |S|
≤ 1000, where |S| denotes the length of S
Example:
Input:
6
gaga
abcde
rotor
xyzxy
abbaab
ababc
Output:
YES
NO
YES
YES
NO
NO
Solution:
Using sort method:
def st(s):
a=sorted(s[:len(s)//2])
b=sorted(s[len(s)//2:])
if(a==b):
print("YES")
else:
print("NO")
t=int(input())
while(t>0):
t-=1
s=input()
if len(s)%2==0:
st(s)
else:
s=s.replace(s[len(s)//2],"")
st(s)
Using count method:
def st(s):
a=s[:len(s)//2]
b=s[len(s)//2:]
f=1
for i in range(0,len(a)):
#print(a[i],a[i] not in b)
if(a.count(a[i])!=b.count(a[i])or a[i] not in b):
#print(a.count(a[i]),b.count(a[i]))
f = 0
break
if f==1:
print("YES")
else:
print("NO")
t=int(input())
while(t>0):
t-=1
s=input()
if len(s)%2==0:
st(s)
else:
s=s[:len(s)//2]+s[(len(s)//2)+1:]
#print(s)
st(s)
