Compatible StringsCompatible Strings Two strings A and B comprising of lower case English letters are compatible if they are equal or can be made equal by following this step any number of times:Select a prefix from the string A, and increase the alphabetical value of all the characters in the prefix by the same valid amount. For example, if the string is ashzb and we select the prefix ash then we can convert it to bti by increasing the alphabetical value by 1. If we select the prefix ashzb, then it will be converted into btiac. Your task is to determine if given strings A and B are compatible. Input formatRead N.Read N pairs of strings, each in a separate line . Output formatFor each pair of input strings,print YES if string A can be converted to string B, otherwise print NO. SAMPLE INPUT3abacacdbdagodzjneaaqlmcmmo SAMPLE OUTPUTYESNONO

Solution

To determine if two strings A and B are compatible, we need to check if string A can be converted to string B by increasing the alphabetical value of a prefix in A.

Here is the step-by-step process to determine compatibility:

  1. Read the value of N, which represents the number of pairs of strings to be checked.

  2. For each pair of strings, follow these steps:

    a. Read the pair of strings A and B.

    b. Initialize a variable called "compatible" to false.

    c. Iterate through each character in string A.

    d. Check if the prefix of A, starting from the first character up to the current character, can be converted to match the corresponding prefix in B.

    e. To check if the prefixes can be made equal, calculate the difference in alphabetical values between the corresponding characters in A and B.

    f. If the difference is the same for all characters in the prefix, set "compatible" to true.

    g. If "compatible" is true, print "YES". Otherwise, print "NO".

  3. Repeat step 2 for each pair of strings.

The output will be "YES" if string A can be converted to string B, and "NO" otherwise.

You have given two strings 'A' and ‘B’ of length ‘N’ each which only consists of lowercase English letters. You have also given an integer ‘K’.Your task is to determine if it is possible to convert string ‘A’ into ‘B’ after performing two types of operations on it:1. Choose an index i (1 <= i <= N - 1) and swap A[i] and A[i+1].2. Choose an index i (1 <= i <= N - K + 1) and if A[i], A[i+1],. . . . , A[i+K-1] all are equal to some character x (x != ‘z’), then you can replace each one with the next character (x + 1) , i.e. ‘a’ is replaced by ‘b’, ‘b’ is replaced by ‘c’ and so on.Note:You are allowed to perform any operation any number of times(possibly zero) only on string 'A'.

Given two strings s and t, determine if they are isomorphic.Two strings s and t are isomorphic if the characters in s can be replaced to get t.All occurrences of a character must be replaced with another character while preserving the order of characters. No two characters may map to the same character, but a character may map to itself. Example 1:Input: s = "egg", t = "add"Output: trueExample 2:Input: s = "foo", t = "bar"Output: falseExample 3:Input: s = "paper", t = "title"Output: true Constraints:1 <= s.length <= 5 * 104t.length == s.lengths and t consist of any valid ascii character.
