Repeated DNA Sequences
Explore how to detect repeated 10-letter sequences in DNA strings by applying the sliding window approach. Understand problem constraints and implement an optimized solution to enhance your pattern recognition skills in coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
A DNA sequence consists of a series of nucleotides, each represented by one of the characters 'A', 'C', 'G', or 'T'.
Given a string s representing a DNA sequence, find and return all s. The result may be returned in any order.
Constraints:
s.lengths[i]is one of'A','C','G', or'T'
Examples
Understand the problem
Now, let’s take a moment to make sure you’ve correctly understood the problem. The quiz below helps you check if you’re solving the correct problem:
Repeated DNA Sequences
Given the input s = "TTTTTTTTT", what is the output of finding all -letter-long substrings that appear more than once?
["TTTTTTTTT"]
["TTTTTTTTTT"]
[]
["TTTTTTTTT", "TTTTTTTTTT"]
Figure it out!
We have a game for you to play. Rearrange the logical building blocks to develop a clearer understanding of how to solve this problem.
Try it yourself
Implement your solution in the following coding playground.
function findRepeatedDnaSequences(s) {// Replace this placeholder return statement with your codereturn ["test"];}export { findRepeatedDnaSequences };
