Palindromo più piccolo dopo la sostituzione

Data una stringa che contiene alcuni caratteri alfabetici minuscoli e un carattere speciale punto (.). Dobbiamo sostituire tutti i punti con qualche carattere alfabetico in modo tale che la stringa risultante diventi un palindromo. In caso di molte possibili sostituzioni, dobbiamo scegliere la stringa palindroma che è lessicograficamente più piccola. Se non è possibile convertire la stringa in palindromo dopo tutte le possibili sostituzioni, l'output è Not possible. 

Esempi:  

Input : str = ab..e.c.a Output : abcaeacba The smallest palindrome which can be made after replacement is 'abcaeacba' We replaced first dot with 'c' second dot with 'a' third dot with 'a' and fourth dot with 'b' Input : str = ab..e.c.b Output : Not Possible It is not possible to convert above string into palindrome 

Possiamo risolvere questo problema come segue Poiché la stringa risultante deve essere palindroma, possiamo controllare una coppia di caratteri non punto all'inizio se non corrispondono, quindi il ritorno diretto non è possibile perché possiamo posizionare il nuovo carattere solo nella posizione dei punti e non altrove. 

Dopodiché iteriamo sui caratteri della stringa se il carattere corrente è un punto, quindi controlliamo il suo carattere accoppiato (carattere nella (n – i -1)esima posizione) se anche quel carattere è un punto, possiamo sostituire entrambi i caratteri con "a" perché "a" è l'alfabeto minuscolo più piccolo che garantirà la stringa lessicografica più piccola alla fine, sostituendo entrambi con qualsiasi altro carattere si otterrà una stringa palindromica lessicograficamente più grande. In altri casi, se il carattere accoppiato non è un punto, per rendere la stringa palindroma dobbiamo sostituire il carattere corrente con il suo carattere accoppiato. 

So in short If both 'i' and 'n- i- 1' are dot replace them by ‘a’ If one of them is a dot character replace that by other non-dot character 

La procedura sopra ci fornisce la stringa palindromo lessicograficamente più piccola.
