10. Number following a pattern
The problem can be found at the following link: Question Link
My Approach
To generate the minimum number following a given pattern,
I iterate through the input string
S
and create a vector of pairs to store consecutive characters and their counts.Then, I construct the output string based on this information.
The key idea is to increment or decrement the numbers in the output string based on whether the corresponding character in the input is
I
orD
.After observing some pattern I found that when decrementing, we need to include
count + 1
in our output, and when incrementing, we should usecount - 1
characters in the output.
Time and Auxiliary Space Complexity
Time Complexity:
O(N)
, where N is the length of the input string.Auxiliary Space Complexity:
O(N)
, for storing the pairs representing consecutive characters and their counts.
