You have been given two arrays, 'AT' and 'DT', representing the arrival and departure times of all trains that reach a railway station.

Your task is to find the minimum number of platforms required for the railway station so that no train needs to wait.

Note :
1. Every train will depart on the same day and the departure time will always be greater than the arrival time. For example, A train with arrival time 2240 and departure time 1930 is not possible.

2. Time will be given in 24H format and colons will be omitted for convenience. For example, 9:05AM will be given as "905", or 9:10PM will be given as "2110".

3. Also, there will be no leading zeroes in the given times. For example, 12:10AM will be given as “10” and not as “0010”.

2. Split the String

You are given a string ‘str’ of ‘N’ lowercase alphabets. Your task is to check whether it is possible to split the given string into three non-empty substrings such that one of them is a substring of another two.

For example:

‘str’ = 'abcabab', we can split this string into 3 string a, b, c as a = 'abc', b = 'ab',  c = 'abc', we can clearly see that b is a substring of both a and c.

Note:

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. For example 'ab', 'b' and 'abc' are the substring of string 'abc', but 'ac' is not a substring of 'abc'. 

A non-empty substring means a substring with a size greater than 0.

Urban Company (UrbanClap)WalmartNutanix

Ninja got holiday homework from his English teacher. His teacher gave him a string and told him to find the rank of the string if the string is sorted in lexicographical order.

Ninja is very new into programming, he didn’t know how to solve this question but he has to solve this question as this question has a very heavy weightage among all the questions given in holiday homework.

Ninja knows that you are a very good programmer who has practiced a lot of questions. Help Ninja!.

Note:

There will only be distinct characters in the given string.
