Dada una cadena que tiene algunos caracteres alfabéticos en minúsculas y un carácter especial punto (.). Necesitamos reemplazar todos los puntos con algún carácter alfabético de tal manera que la cadena resultante se convierta en un palíndromo; en caso de muchos reemplazos posibles, debemos elegir la cadena de palíndromo que sea lexicográficamente más pequeña. Si no es posible convertir una cadena en palíndromo después de todos los reemplazos posibles, entonces se genera No es posible.
Ejemplos:
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
Podemos resolver este problema de la siguiente manera. Como la cadena resultante debe ser palíndromo, podemos verificar un par de caracteres que no sean puntos al iniciarse, si no coinciden, entonces no es posible el retorno directo porque podemos colocar un nuevo carácter solo en la posición de los puntos y no en ningún otro lugar.
Después de eso, iteramos sobre los caracteres de la cadena, si el carácter actual es un punto, luego verificamos su carácter emparejado (carácter en (n – i -1)ésima posición). Si ese carácter también es un punto, entonces podemos reemplazar ambos caracteres por "a" porque "a" es el alfabeto minúsculo más pequeño, lo que garantizará que la cadena lexicográfica más pequeña al final. Reemplazar ambos por cualquier otro carácter dará como resultado una cadena palindrómica lexicográficamente más grande. En otro caso, si el carácter emparejado no es un punto, para crear un palíndromo de cadena debemos reemplazar el carácter actual por su carácter emparejado.
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 procedimiento anterior nos proporciona la cadena palíndromo lexicográficamente más pequeña.
