Solution: Find the Lexicographically Largest String From Box II
Explore how to use the two pointers technique to efficiently find the lexicographically largest substring after splitting a string into multiple unique parts. This lesson helps you understand character-by-character comparison and skipping common prefixes to achieve a linear time solution.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a string, word, and an integer numFriends, representing the number of friends participating in a game organized by Alice.
The game consists of multiple rounds, and in each round:
The string
wordis split into exactlynumFriendsnon-empty substrings.The split must be unique; no previous round has produced the same sequence of splits.
All resulting substrings from the split are placed into a box.
When all rounds are over and all possible unique splits have been performed, determine the lexicographically largest string among all the substrings in the box.
A string
is considered lexicographically larger than a string if:
At the first position where
and differ, the character in comes later than the corresponding character in in the alphabet. If
