@nitin yes i meant the same, if each different character have equal number of frequency like abcabcabc a's -3, b's - 3 c's- 3 then resultant string size is 2 else 1 surender On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 12:21 AM, Ankur Garg wrote: > @Srinivas > > Wat if the string is abc > then it reduces to cc :)

Well it aint O(n) ..:P ...The erase part will be complex and will take shifting string parts . So complexity will be O(n^2) for str.erase operation On Sat, Nov 12, 2011 at 8:34 PM, Ankur Garg wrote: > The Complexity of my solution is of Order n . At most I Traverse the whole > string twice ..

I can prove that the size of resulting string will be 1 or 2. @surender - what do you mean by no of distinct characters? they are 3 in this case - a,b and c. Do you mean to say that the no. of times each character appears are equal then the final string is of size 2. and 1 otherwise? On Sat,
