Dada una string con caracteres repetidos, la tarea es reorganizar los caracteres en una string para que no haya dos caracteres adyacentes iguales.
Nota: se puede suponer que la string solo tiene alfabetos ingleses en minúsculas.
Ejemplos:
Entrada: aaabc
Salida: abacáEntrada: aaabb
Salida: ababaEntrada: aa
Salida: No posibleEntrada: aaaabc
Salida: No es posible

Enfoque (utilizando la cola de prioridad) :
la idea es poner primero el carácter de frecuencia más alta (un enfoque codicioso). Usamos una cola de prioridad (o Binary Max Heap) y colocamos todos los caracteres y los ordenamos por sus frecuencias (carácter de mayor frecuencia en la raíz). Tomamos uno por uno el carácter de frecuencia más alta del montón y lo agregamos al resultado. Después de agregar, disminuimos la frecuencia del personaje y lo sacamos temporalmente de la cola de prioridad para que no se elija la próxima vez.
Tenemos que seguir los pasos para solucionar este problema, son:
- Cree un Priority_queue o max_heap, pq que almacene caracteres y sus frecuencias.
- Priority_queue o max_heap se construye sobre la base de la frecuencia del carácter.
- Cree una clave temporal que se usará como el elemento visitado anteriormente (el elemento anterior en la string resultante. Inicialícelo { char = ‘#’, freq = ‘-1’}
- Mientras que pq no está vacío.
- Haga estallar un elemento y agréguelo al resultado.
- Disminuya la frecuencia del elemento reventado en ‘1’
- Vuelva a colocar el elemento anterior en la cola de prioridad si su frecuencia es > ‘0’
- Haga que el elemento actual sea el elemento anterior para la siguiente iteración.
- Si la longitud de la string resultante y la string original no es igual, imprima «no es posible». De lo contrario, imprima el resultado.
A continuación se muestra la implementación de la idea anterior:
C++
// C++ program to rearrange characters in a string // so that no two adjacent characters are same. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; const int MAX_CHAR = 26; struct Key { int freq; // store frequency of character char ch; // function for priority_queue to store Key // according to freq bool operator<(const Key& k) const { return freq < k.freq; } }; // Function to rearrange character of a string // so that no char repeat twice void rearrangeString(string str) { int n = str.length(); // Store frequencies of all characters in string int count[MAX_CHAR] = { 0 }; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) count[str[i] - 'a']++; // Insert all characters with their frequencies // into a priority_queue priority_queue<Key> pq; for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++) { int val = c - 'a'; if (count[val]) { pq.push(Key{ count[val], c }); } } // 'str' that will store resultant value str = ""; // work as the previous visited element // initial previous element be. ( '#' and // it's frequency '-1' ) Key prev{ -1, '#' }; // traverse queue while (!pq.empty()) { // pop top element from queue and add it // to string. Key k = pq.top(); pq.pop(); str = str + k.ch; // IF frequency of previous character is less // than zero that means it is useless, we // need not to push it if (prev.freq > 0) pq.push(prev); // make current character as the previous 'char' // decrease frequency by 'one' (k.freq)--; prev = k; } // If length of the resultant string and original // string is not same then string is not valid if (n != str.length()) cout << " Not valid String " << endl; else // valid string cout << str << endl; } // Driver program to test above function int main() { string str = "bbbaa"; rearrangeString(str); return 0; }

Complejidad del tiempo: O(n log(n))
Aquí n es la longitud de la string
Espacio Auxiliar: O(n)
Se utiliza espacio adicional para almacenar la string resultante, los demás espacios utilizados son constantes.
Otro enfoque: Otro enfoque es llenar primero todas las posiciones pares de la string de resultados, con el carácter de mayor frecuencia. Si todavía quedan algunas posiciones pares, llénelas primero. Una vez que haya terminado con las posiciones pares, rellene las posiciones impares. De esta manera, podemos asegurarnos de que no haya dos caracteres adyacentes iguales.
