let 10 digit phone number stored in array a[] take a array b[10] and initialise its elements with 0 int gp2[][2]; // group with 2 elements will store here int gp3[][3]; // group with 3 elements will store here int l=0,r=0,count=0; int m[],n; //l,m,n is global for(i=0;i10;i++)

So, I think first check for excellent groups then good and then usual to increase the quality. So to get excellent groups scan the string and keep a count of the contagious repeating elements ,if count==3 or count==2,then put in one group The same procedure for good and usual accord to constraints

It scans 555 count=3(excellent group) it will put in one group than 54 since the count is one puts that in usual group quality =2*1 =2 , On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 1:28 AM, Piyush Sinha ecstasy.piy...@gmail.comwrote: @Rajeev...check ur logic for 4 On 7/8/11, rajeev bharshetty

i think DP has answer to this question initialy compute the quality value of all the substrings of length 1,2,3 Ans[i][j] = max(ans[i,j-2]+ans[j-1][j],ans[i,j-3]+ans[j-2][j],ans[i,i+1]+ans[i+2][j],ans[i,i+2]+ans[i+3][j]) something like that. On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 1:31 AM, rajeev bharshetty

@sunny , yep it looks DP. more of MCM. solve for substrings of length 1,2,3. and then apply DP[i][j]=max score for a substring from i to j. =max(DP[i][k]+DP[k][j]) where ki kj . The complexity this approach renders would be O(n^3). with O(n^2) space complexity. anyone anything better ?

Nopes solution is for only groups of size 2 and 3. solution is like a general DP for string of length i to j there can be only 4 possibilities substring of length 2 from start + remaining string substring of length 3 from start + remaining string string except last 2 + value of last 2 string
