MAIN113 - Special String |
A string of letters X, Y, Z is special if there are three consecutive letters from which one is X, one is Y, and one is Z. For example, XYZXYZ is special, while XXYYZ is not. Your task is to calculate how many such strings of length n are not special.
Input
First line contains an integer T (1 <= T <= 30) which denotes the total number of test cases. Each test case contains an integer N (1 <= N <= 30) in a single line.
Output
For each test case print total number of strings which have a length N and are not special.
Example
Input: 1 2 Output: 9

Did by DP :) . Unnecessary confusion can be avoided by adding "any" in place of blank in the statement "there is ___ three consecutive letters ", ie xxyz is a special string. Hope this helps. |
