ELCS - Easy Longest Common Substring |
In this problem, a string only consists of lowercase letters.
Substring, is a consecutive sequence of characters occurrences at least once in a string.
Common substring means a substring of two strings.
After getting TLE on LCS and LCS2, lqp18_31 felt really depressed. So he came up with an interesting idea. He want to modify the definition of LCS and call it ELCS.
ELCS: for two given strings s1[0..n-1] and s2[0..m-1], the ELCS of them is a string p[0..k-1] k <= min(n, m) so that s1[i] = s2[i] = p[i] (for 0 <= i < k) and s1[k] != s2[k] or k == n or k == m.
Now your task is easy.
You are given N strings and Q queries.
Each query consists two integers a and b. You must answer the length of the ELCS of the a-th string and b-th string.
Input
First line consists one integer N.
Next N lines consist N strings.
Next line consists one integer Q.
Next Q lines consist two integers a and b. (0 <= a, b < N)
30% of the test data: N <= 100 Q <= 10000, length(string[i]) <= 100
100% of the test data: the number of total characters <= 500000, N <= 100000, Q <= 100000.
Output
Q lines. Each line consists the length of the ELCS of the a-th string and b-th string.
Example
Input: 5 dy ljq lqp ws jzt 3 0 1 1 2 0 2 Output: 0 1 0

Does that mean that the total number of characters in all strings doesn't exceed 500000? Reply: Yes.( <=500000 ) :) One more thing, the input format and the example don't match, which one is correct? Reply: Sorry . The example is right. Last edit: 2010-05-18 12:20:45 |
