Woburn Challenge 2017-18 Round 1 - Junior Division
Problem 4: Canuck Detection
Nice, you've just landed your first software engineering internship at a popular blog site! Your first task is to collect data about which countries all of the site's bloggers live in, for further analysis.
Now, you don't exactly have the most experience with such things, but it's important that you get it done somehow. Asking for help would make you look weak! As a first step, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out whether or not a given user is Canadian, right?
You've already gotten a script together to load the text from a single blog post and strip it down into a more convenient format – a non-empty string S consisting of at most 50,000 lowercase letters.
Unfortunately, from there, your algorithm is questionable at best. You know that a characteristic of words written by Canadians is that they sometimes end in "our
" rather an "or
". However, due to faulty programming, your script will decide that the blogger is Canadian if their text contains at least one instance of the *subsequence* "our
".
A string subsequence is an ordered but possibly non-consecutive set of characters in it. For example, the string "abac
" contains subsequences "ab
", "ac
", "bc
", and "abc
", among others. However, it does not contain the subsequence "ca
", as an "a
" never appears anywhere after a "c
".
Things aren't looking great for your internship, but might as well at least test out your approach. Given a string S, output "Y
" if your script would determine that the blogger is Canadian, or "N
" otherwise.
Subtasks
In test cases worth 26/32 of the points, S contains at most 50 letters.
Input Format
The first and only line of input consists of a single string, S.
Output Format
Output a single character, either "Y
" if the blogger is identified as a Canadian, or "N
" otherwise
Sample Input 1
colorusedtobemyfavoriteword
Sample Output 1
Y
Sample Input 2
torontousedtobemytowneh
Sample Output 2
N
Sample Explanation
In the first case, though the blogger doesn't seem very Canadian, the subsequence "our" is present at least once in S. One instance of it is indicated below:
col[o]r[u]sedtobemyfavoritewo[r]d
In the second case, though the blogger is clearly Canadian and S does contain the subsequence "rou", it does not contain the subsequence "our".
