You are given a 0-indexed string s
having an even length n
.
You are also given a 0-indexed 2D integer array, queries
, where queries[i] = [ai, bi, ci, di]
.
For each query i
, you are allowed to perform the following operations:
- Rearrange the characters within the substring
s[ai:bi]
, where0 <= ai <= bi < n / 2
. - Rearrange the characters within the substring
s[ci:di]
, wheren / 2 <= ci <= di < n
.
For each query, your task is to determine whether it is possible to make s
a palindrome by performing the operations.
Each query is answered independently of the others.
Return a 0-indexed array answer
, where answer[i] == true
if it is possible to make s
a palindrome by performing operations specified by the ith
query, and false
otherwise.
- A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.
s[x:y]
represents the substring consisting of characters from the indexx
to indexy
ins
, both inclusive.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abcabc", queries = [[1,1,3,5],[0,2,5,5]] Output: [true,true] Explanation: In this example, there are two queries: In the first query: - a0 = 1, b0 = 1, c0 = 3, d0 = 5. - So, you are allowed to rearrange s[1:1] => abcabc and s[3:5] => abcabc. - To make s a palindrome, s[3:5] can be rearranged to become => abccba. - Now, s is a palindrome. So, answer[0] = true. In the second query: - a1 = 0, b1 = 2, c1 = 5, d1 = 5. - So, you are allowed to rearrange s[0:2] => abcabc and s[5:5] => abcabc. - To make s a palindrome, s[0:2] can be rearranged to become => cbaabc. - Now, s is a palindrome. So, answer[1] = true.
Example 2:
Input: s = "abbcdecbba", queries = [[0,2,7,9]] Output: [false] Explanation: In this example, there is only one query. a0 = 0, b0 = 2, c0 = 7, d0 = 9. So, you are allowed to rearrange s[0:2] => abbcdecbba and s[7:9] => abbcdecbba. It is not possible to make s a palindrome by rearranging these substrings because s[3:6] is not a palindrome. So, answer[0] = false.
Example 3:
Input: s = "acbcab", queries = [[1,2,4,5]] Output: [true] Explanation: In this example, there is only one query. a0 = 1, b0 = 2, c0 = 4, d0 = 5. So, you are allowed to rearrange s[1:2] => acbcab and s[4:5] => acbcab. To make s a palindrome s[1:2] can be rearranged to become abccab. Then, s[4:5] can be rearranged to become abccba. Now, s is a palindrome. So, answer[0] = true.
Constraints:
2 <= n == s.length <= 105
1 <= queries.length <= 105
queries[i].length == 4
ai == queries[i][0], bi == queries[i][1]
ci == queries[i][2], di == queries[i][3]
0 <= ai <= bi < n / 2
n / 2 <= ci <= di < n
n
is even.s
consists of only lowercase English letters.
Let's denote the length of string
We preprocess the following information:
- The prefix sum array
$pre_1$ of string$s$ , where$pre_1[i][j]$ represents the quantity of character$j$ in the first$i$ characters of string$s$ ; - The prefix sum array
$pre_2$ of string$t$ , where$pre_2[i][j]$ represents the quantity of character$j$ in the first$i$ characters of string$t$ ; - The difference array
$diff$ of strings$s$ and$t$ , where$diff[i]$ represents the quantity of different characters in the first$i$ characters of strings$s$ and$t$ .
For each query
- The prefix substrings
$s[..a_i-1]$ and$t[..a_i-1]$ of strings$s$ and$t$ must be equal, and the suffix substrings$s[\max(b_i, d_i)+1..]$ and$t[\max(b_i, d_i)..]$ must also be equal, otherwise, it is impossible to rearrange to make strings$s$ and$t$ equal; - If
$d_i \le b_i$ , it means the interval$[a_i, b_i]$ contains the interval$[c_i, d_i]$ . If the substrings$s[a_i, b_i]$ and$t[a_i, b_i]$ contain the same quantity of characters, then it is possible to rearrange to make strings$s$ and$t$ equal, otherwise, it is impossible; - If
$b_i < c_i$ , it means the intervals$[a_i, b_i]$ and$[c_i, d_i]$ do not intersect. Then the substrings$s[b_i+1, c_i-1]$ and$t[b_i+1, c_i-1]$ must be equal, and the substrings$s[a_i, b_i]$ and$t[a_i, b_i]$ must be equal, and the substrings$s[c_i, d_i]$ and$t[c_i, d_i]$ must be equal, otherwise, it is impossible to rearrange to make strings$s$ and$t$ equal. - If
$c_i \le b_i < d_i$ , it means the intervals$[a_i, b_i]$ and$[c_i, d_i]$ intersect. Then the characters contained in$s[a_i, b_i]$ , minus the characters contained in$t[a_i, c_i-1]$ , must be equal to the characters contained in$t[c_i, d_i]$ , minus the characters contained in$s[b_i+1, d_i]$ , otherwise, it is impossible to rearrange to make strings$s$ and$t$ equal.
Based on the above analysis, we iterate through each query
