Sherlock and anagrams hackerrank solution
In this problem sherlock and anagram from hackerrank interview preparation kit series I have used map to solve this problem
code: https://gist.github.com/Kuldip-G/017e...
Naive approach : check for no of substrings present then sort them add map them to our unordered_map using key value of string, int (key,value) pair. In this approach we can use sorting to ensure all the pairs are categorized in the same key
Optimized : In above part instead of sorting every time we can create a distinct value for each string, this can be done by assigning a prime value to every char (a-2.b-3...) and then multiply them( ab will be 6 and ba as well) hence it will help us create a key value pair of int ,int .
then we can calculate no of distinct pair of substrings using n(n-1)/2 where n is length of string.
