EDIT - Edit Distance Again |
As any experienced programmer must know the famous problem of "Edit Distance", however this problem is considered an “alternating chain” if you have alternately made case sensitive.
Example: "AaAaAbB" "B" "a" "aBaCdEf"
Alternating chains are considered in our problem.
We only have one operation that is permitted in exchange for a lower or upper case Latin letter.
Given a string giving the minimum number of changes to be considered an alternating chain.
Input
A string with no spaces line containing only uppercase and lowercase letters, one for each line of maximum length 10^3 until end of file
Output
For each line print the minimum number of changes to the chain is a "chain alternately"
Example
Input: AaAaB ABaa a Output: 0 2 0

Can anyone explain why the result for test case "ABaa" is 2? I think it is 1, one move ABaa->AaBa or ABaa->aBaA. |

Solved it! But the leaderboard is filled with 0.00s time while I got 0.01s even though my solution is O(n). Here's my code <snip> Last edit: 2022-08-10 17:01:49 |

The statement is of very poor quality, but got AC first try so it's not bugged. |
