暴力&构造 day2
题意:
字符集为{a,b,c}的长为\(n,(n\le 2e5)\)的字符串,每次修改可以把某个位置上的字母改成{a,b,c}中的任意一个。
\(m, (m \le 2e5)\)次询问,每次询问一个子串最少要进行多少次修改,使得这个字串中不包含长度大于等于2的回文串。
sol:
考虑构造长度任意的非回文字符串,将原串改成这个串,并统计每个位置上的修改次数,将区间询问转为求区间和。
注意到\(s_i \ne s_{i-1}\)且\(s_i \ne s_{i-2}\),那么一定有\(s_i=s_{i-3}\)。所以非回文的字符串一定是以形如abc的字符串作为循环节的。枚举每种循环节并生成字符串,并询问区间修改次数即可。
