QUESTION
Input a stream of characters (characters are received one by one), write a function that prints Yes if a character makes the complete string palindrome, else prints No.
“TESTCASE_1”: “aabaacaabaa\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\na Yes\na Yes\nb No\na No\na Yes\nc No\na No\na No\nb No\na No\na Yes”, “TESTCASE_2”: “abcba\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\na Yes\nb No\nc No\nb No\na Yes”, “TESTCASE_3”: “abccacbaa\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\na Yes\nb No\nc No\nc No\na No\nc No\nb No\na No\na No”, “TESTCASE_4”: “0\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\n0”, “TESTCASE_5”: “0\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\n0
ANSWER
// C program for online algorithm for palindrome checking
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
// d is the number of characters in input alphabet
#define d 256
// q is a prime number used for evaluating Rabin Karp's Rolling hash
#define q 103
void checkPalindromes(char str[])
{
// Length of input string
int N = strlen(str);
// A single character is always a palindrome
printf("%c Yes\n", str[0]);
// Return if string has only one character
if (N == 1) return;
// Initialize first half reverse and second half for
// as firstr and second characters
int firstr = str[0] % q;
int second = str[1] % q;
int h = 1, i, j;
// Now check for palindromes from second character
// onward
for (i=1; i<N; i++)
{
// If the hash values of 'firstr' and 'second'
// match, then only check individual characters
if (firstr == second)
{
/* Check if str[0..i] is palindrome using
simple character by character match */
for (j = 0; j < i/2; j++)
{
if (str[j] != str[i-j])
break;
}
(j == i/2)? printf("%c Yes\n", str[i]):
printf("%c No\n", str[i]);
}
else printf("%c No\n", str[i]);
// Calculate hash values for next iteration.
// Don't calculate hash for next characters if
// this is the last character of string
if (i != N-1)
{
// If i is even (next i is odd)
if (i%2 == 0)
{
// Add next character after first half at beginning
// of 'firstr'
h = (h*d) % q;
firstr = (firstr + h*str[i/2])%q;
// Add next character after second half at the end
// of second half.
second = (second*d + str[i+1])%q;
}
else
{
// If next i is odd (next i is even) then we
// need not to change firstr, we need to remove
// first character of second and append a
// character to it.
second = (d*(second + q - str[(i+1)/2]*h)%q
+ str[i+1])%q;
}
}
}
}
