Day 1 puzzle

Palindromic Anagram

A palindrome is a string that reads the same left-to-right and right-to-left. For example, "Madam, I'm Adam" and "Poor Dan is in a droop" are both palindromes. Note that letter case and non-alphanumeric characters should be ignored when deciding whether a string is a palindrome or not.

А string x is an anagram of another string y if you can obtain y by rearranging the letters of x. For example, "cinema" is an anagram of "iceman", and vice versa. Note that the string and its anagram must have the same length. By definition, the string is not considered as an anagram of itself. In anagrams, non-alphanumeric characters and letter case are important. For instance, "Oo" is not the same as "oO", making "Oo" an anagram of "oO" and vice versa.

Given a message, your task is to determine whether there is an anagram of the message that is also a palindrome.

Example

For message = "abab", the output should be hasPalindromicAnagram(message) = true.

Among the anagrams of "abab", there are two strings that are also palindromes ("abba" and "baab"), so the answer is true.

For message = "bob", the output should be hasPalindromicAnagram(message) = false.

The only rearrangement of the letters in the string "bob" that is a palindrome is the word itself, but this is not an anagram as defined above. Therefore, the answer is false.

For message = "heh!", the output should be hasPalindromicAnagram(message) = true.

"!heh", "h!eh" and "he!h" are all palindromes and all of them are anagrams of "heh!". Remember that according to the rules laid out above, non-alphanumeric characters are ignored in palindromes but need to be considered in anagrams.

Input Format

A string that will be checked to determine if there is an anagram of that string that is also a palindrome

Constraints

A string containing at least one alphanumeric character.

0 < message.length ≤ 20

Output Format

You should print "true" or "false" if there is an anagram of the given string that is also a palindrome

Sample Input 0

abab

Sample Output 0

true

Sample Input 1

bob

Sample Output 1

false

Sample Input 2

heh!

Sample Output 2

true

Day 2 puzzle

Maze Path

You are given an N x M maze. The grid consists of the characters '#' and '.'

A '#' represents a wall, and a '.' represents a walkable tile. In addition, there is a single character 'S' representing your starting position, and a single character 'T' representing the target position. You can only move upwards, downwards, leftwards and rightwards and you can only move to walkable tiles. Also, you can't move outside the grid.

Write a program that calculates the minimum number of moves to travel from S to T. If it is impossible to reach T from S, then output DOOMED.

Input Format

The first line contains two integers, N and M, separated by a single space. The next N lines each contain a string of length M consisting of '#', '.', 'S' or 'T'.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 1000

1 <= M <= 1000

Output Format

Output a single line containing the minimum number of moves to travel from S to T, or DOOMED if it is impossible.

Sample Input 0

Day 3 puzzle

Negabinary element in odd collection

Definitions:

Number expressed in Negabinary

Every integer a can be written uniquely in base -2. Reference: Negative base

Element with odd occurrence in collection

Given a collection which contains an odd number of elements, each element can be paired with another element that has the same value, except for one that is left unpaired.

For example given the collection: ["cat", "dog", "mouse", "cat", "dog"] there are two occurrences of "cat" and two occurrences of "dog" but "mouse"is left unpaired, it has an odd number of occurrences.

Problem statement:

Given a collection of numbers written in negabinary form that contains just one element with an odd number of occurrences print the negative value

Input Format

One line that will contain the collection of elements separated by spaces

Constraints

1 ≤ collection size < 10^5

1 ≤ string size by number < 10^5

Output Format

A string representing -X in negabinary

Sample Input 0

11 1 11

Sample Output 0

11

Explanation 0

The input contains -1 base -2 two times and 1 base -2 one time, 1 is the odd element, -1 in base -2 is expressed as 11

Sample Input 1

11110 11110 11100 101 11100 11100 11100

Sample Output 1

1111

Explanation 1

The input contains 10 base -2 two times, 12 base -2 four times and 5 base -2 one time, 5 is the odd element, -5 in base -2 is expressed as 1111

Day 4 puzzle

String rearrangement

Given a comma-separated list of equal-length strings, check if it is possible to rearrange the strings in such a way that after the rearrangement the strings at consecutive positions would differ by exactly one character.

Example

• For input: aba,bbb,bab the output should be: false
• For input: ab,bb,aa the output should be: true

Input Format

A comma-separated list of strings containing alphanumeric characters.

Constraints

• 2 ≤ list length ≤ 10
• 1 ≤ string length ≤ 15.

Output Format

Either the string true or false

Sample Input 0

aba,bbb,bab

Sample Output 0

false

Sample Input 1

ab,bb,aa

Sample Output 1

true

Sample Input 2

q,q

Sample Output 2

false

Sample Input 3

zzzzab,zzzzbb,zzzzaa

Sample Output 3

true

Day 5 puzzle

Repeat string

A string S is called a square if there is some string T such that S = T + T. For example, the strings "", "aabaab" and "xxxx" are squares, but "a", "aabb" and "aabbaa" are not.

You are given a String s. Find the longest square string that can be obtained from s by erasingsome (possibly none, possibly all) of its characters. In other words, we are looking for the longest square that occurs in s as a subsequence. Return the length of that square.

Note that the answer is well-defined, as the square "" (the empty string) will always occur in s as a subsequence.

Input Format

An alphabetic string

Constraints

• s will contain between 1 and 50 characters, inclusive.
• Each character in s will be a lowercase English letter ('a'-'z')

Output Format

You should print the lenght of the longest square that occurs in s as a subsequence

Example 1: Input: "frankfurt" Expected output: 4 The longest square that occurs in "frankfurt" is "frfr". Its length is 4.

Example 2: Input: "single" Expected output: 0 The letters in the string "single" are all distinct. Hence, the only square that occurs in this string is "". The length of this square is zero.
