# 09. Find the N-th character

The problem can be found at the following link: [Question Link](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/find-the-n-th-character5925/1)

## My Approach

* Initialize a variable len to store the length of the input string s.
* Use a loop to iterate r times for the specified number of iterations.
* In each iteration :
  * Create a temporary string temp and copy the content of the original string s.
  * Use another loop to traverse each character in the original string s.
  * Update each character based on the following logic :
    * If the corresponding character in temp at position j/2 is '0', set s\[j] to '0' + (j % 2).
    * Otherwise, set s\[j] to '1' - (j % 2).
* After completing all iterations, the desired character is at index n in the final string s.

## Time and Auxiliary Space Complexity

* **Time Complexity** : `O(r*|s|)`, as there are two nested loops.
* **Auxiliary Space Complexity** : `O(|s|)`, as the temporary string temp is of the same length as the input string.

## Code (C++)

```cpp
class Solution{
  public:
    char nthCharacter(string s, int r, int n)
    {
        int len=s.length();
        for (int i=0;i<r;i++)
        {
            string temp=s;
            for (int j=0;j<len;j++)
            {
                if (temp[j/2]=='0')
                    s[j]='0'+(j%2);
                else s[j]='1'-(j%2);
            }
        }
        return s[n];
    }
};
```
