[Question/Problem Statement is the Adapted from HackerRank]
Algorithms/Data Structures — [Problem Solving]
There is a Specific Need for Changes in a List of Usernames. In a given List of Usernames — For Each Username — If the Username can be Modified and Moved Ahead in a Dictionary. The Allowed Modification is that Alphabets can change Positions in the Given Username.
Example
usernames[] = {"Aba", "Cat"}
"Aba" can be Changed to only "Baa" — Hence, It can Never Find a Place Ahead in the Dictionary. Hence, Output will be "NO". "Cat" can be Changed to "Act", "Atc", "Tca", "Tac", "Cta" and Definitely "Act" will Find a Place Before "Cat" in the Dictionary. Hence, Output will be "YES".
[Function Description]
Complete the function possibleChanges in the Editor Below.
possibleChanges has the Following Parameters:
String usernames[n]: An Array of User Names
Returns String[n]: An Array with "YES" or "NO" Based on Feasibility
(Actual Question Says String Array, But Signature is List of Strings)
Constraints
• [No Special Constraints Exist, But Cannot Recall Exactly]
Input Format
"The First Line Contains an Integer, n, the Number of Elements in Usernames.",
"Each Line of the n Subsequent Lines (where 0 < i < n) contains a String usernames[i]."
[Sample Case 0 — Sample Input For Custom Testing]
5
Aba
Cat
Boby
Buba
Bapg
Sungi
Lapg
Acba
Sample Output (Each Should Be on a Separate Line)
NO YES NO YES YES YES YES YES
[Explanation of the Solution]
This is again a Good Question from Hacker Rank to Test Your Logic / Problem Solving Abilities. The Core Point to Handle is that For Each
Combination of 2 Alphabets that Exists in the Username String > We Need to Check if the Latter Occurring Character (ASCII) is Less than the Former Occurring Character (ASCII). For Example in the String "Bapg" — For a Selection of "Ba" from "Bapg" — We have "a" Occurring Before "B" in the English Alphabet. We can Have Two Loops (One Nested) to Decide for a Combination of Each Two Alphabets. The Time Complexity of this Solution is O(n^2).

IoT is now аn integral part of many industrial enterprises. Applied in fields like agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and the energy industry, to name a few, it is one of the main drivers of digital transformation. In a Forbes article posted back in 2016, General Electric’s former CEO Jeff Immelt called the IIoT “beautiful, desirable, and investable”.
As of today, the IIoT giant Accenture has predicted that the Industrial Internet of Things will add $14.2 trillion to the world’s economy by 2030.
