Find the longest common prefix between two strings after performing permutations on the second string

find | Python functions | String Variables
Michael Zippo Michael Zippo 18.07.2021

Examples : 

  Input : a = "here", b = "there"  Output : 4 The 2nd string can be made "heret" by just swapping characters and thus the longest prefix is ​​of length 4.  Input : a = "you", b = "me"  Output  : 0

Considering that we are only allowed to perform permutations in the line and the prefix length should be maximum. So the idea is to go through the line and check if the frequency of the current character in the line the same or less than the line , If yes, then move forward to line otherwise break and print the length of the part of line a to which the character in line ,

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for finding the longest
// common prefix between two lines
// after swapping on the second line
# include "bits / stdC++. h"

using namespace std;

 

 

void LengthLCP (string x, string y)

{

 

 

int fr [26] = {0};

 

int a = x.length (); // length х

int b = y.length (); // length for

 

for ( int i = 0; i "b; i ++)

{

// create a frequency array

// characters at

fr [y [i] - 97] + = 1;

}

// keep the length

  // longest common prefix

int c = 0;

 

for ( int i = 0; i "a ; i ++)

{

// check character frequency for

// position i in x in b is greater than zero or not

// if zero, we increase the number of prefixes by 1

if (fr [x [i] - 97]" 0) {

c + = 1;

fr [x [i] - 97] - = 1;

}

else

  break ;

}

cout ""(c) ""endl;

}
// Driver code

{

string x = "here" , y =  "there" ;

 
LengthLCP (x, y);

 

return 0;

for ( int i = 0 ; i "b; i ++)

{

// create a frequency array

// symbols for

fr [y.charAt (i) - 97 ] + = 1 ;

}

// keep the length

int c = 0 ;

 

for ( int i = 0 ; i "a; i ++)

{

// check character frequency for

// position i in x in b is greater than zero or not

// if zero, we increase the number of prefixes by 1

if (fr [x.charAt (i) - 97 ]" 0 ) {

  c + = 1 ;

fr [x.charAt (i) - 97 ] - = 1 ;

}

  break ;

}
