การเข้ารหัสสตริง การกลับลำดับ และพาลินโดรม

การกลับลำดับสตริงในตำแหน่งเดิม

def reverse_string(s):
    chars = list(s)
    left, right = 0, len(chars) - 1
    while left < right:
        chars[left], chars[right] = chars[right], chars[left]
        left  += 1
        right -= 1
    return ''.join(chars)

print(reverse_string('hello'))   # 'olleh'
print(reverse_string('Hannah'))  # 'hannaH'

# Pythonic shortcut (creates new string):
print('hello'[::-1])  # 'olleh'

การกลับลำดับคำในประโยค

def reverse_words(s):
    words = s.split()       # split and strip whitespace
    words.reverse()         # in-place reverse
    return ' '.join(words)  # single space between words

print(reverse_words('  hello   world  '))  # 'world hello'
print(reverse_words('a good example'))     # 'example good a'

# One-liner:
print(' '.join('  hello   world  '.split()[::-1]))

การตรวจหาพาลินโดรม: แบบพื้นฐาน

def is_palindrome(s):
    # Filter and normalise
    cleaned = ''.join(c.lower() for c in s if c.isalnum())
    return cleaned == cleaned[::-1]

print(is_palindrome('A man, a plan, a canal: Panama'))  # True
print(is_palindrome('race a car'))                       # False
print(is_palindrome('Was it a car or a cat I saw?'))     # True

การตรวจหาพาลินโดรม: ตัวชี้สองตัว

def is_palindrome_twoptr(s):
    left, right = 0, len(s) - 1
    while left < right:
        while left < right and not s[left].isalnum():
            left += 1
        while left < right and not s[right].isalnum():
            right -= 1
        if s[left].lower() != s[right].lower():
            return False
        left += 1; right -= 1
    return True

print(is_palindrome_twoptr('A man, a plan, a canal: Panama'))  # True

การขยายรอบจุดกึ่งกลางเพื่อหาพาลินโดรมที่ยาวที่สุด

def longest_palindrome(s):
    best_start = best_end = 0

    def expand(left, right):
        while left >= 0 and right < len(s) and s[left] == s[right]:
            left -= 1; right += 1
        return left + 1, right - 1  # last valid bounds

    for i in range(len(s)):
        l, r = expand(i, i)      # odd-length
        if r - l > best_end - best_start:
            best_start, best_end = l, r
        l, r = expand(i, i + 1)  # even-length
        if r - l > best_end - best_start:
            best_start, best_end = l, r

    return s[best_start:best_end+1]

print(longest_palindrome('babad'))    # 'bab' or 'aba'
print(longest_palindrome('cbbd'))     # 'bb'

เกริ่นนำอัลกอริทึมมานาเชอร์

# Manacher's: O(n) longest palindromic substring
def manacher(s):

    t = '#' + '#'.join(s) + '#'
    n = len(t)
    P = [0] * n  # P[i] = palindrome radius at i
    center = right = 0
    for i in range(n):
        mirror = 2 * center - i
        if i < right:
            P[i] = min(right - i, P[mirror])
        while (i + P[i] + 1 < n and i - P[i] - 1 >= 0
               and t[i+P[i]+1] == t[i-P[i]-1]):
            P[i] += 1
        if i + P[i] > right:
            center, right = i, i + P[i]
    max_len = max(P)
    center_idx = P.index(max_len)
    start = (center_idx - max_len) // 2
    return s[start:start+max_len]

การเข้ารหัสความยาวช่วง

def encode_rle(s):
    if not s: return ''
    parts = []
    i = 0
    while i < len(s):
        char = s[i]
        j = i
        while j < len(s) and s[j] == char:
            j += 1
        count = j - i
        parts.append(char + (str(count) if count > 1 else ''))
        i = j
    encoded = ''.join(parts)
    return encoded if len(encoded) < len(s) else s

print(encode_rle('aaabbc'))    # 'a3b2c'
print(encode_rle('abc'))       # 'abc'  (no compression gain)

การถอดรหัสสตริงที่เข้ารหัสแบบความยาวช่วง

        result.append(char * count)
    return ''.join(result)

print(decode_rle('a3b2c'))    # 'aaabbc'

        while l < r:
            if s[l] != s[r]: return False

พาลินโดรมที่สั้นที่สุด: การแฮชสตริง

def shortest_palindrome(s):
    rev = s[::-1]
    combined = s + '#' + rev  # '#' prevents overlap
    n = len(combined)
    kmp = [0] * n
    j = 0
    for i in range(1, n):
        while j > 0 and combined[i] != combined[j]:
            j = kmp[j-1]
        if combined[i] == combined[j]:
            j += 1
        kmp[i] = j
    # kmp[-1] = length of longest palindromic prefix
    to_add = rev[:len(s) - kmp[-1]]
    return to_add + s

print(shortest_palindrome('aacecaaa'))  # 'aaacecaaa'
print(shortest_palindrome('abcd'))      # 'dcbabcd'
