Asked in companies
A string 'S' is defined as S[s,N] such that 'N' repetitions of 's' make 'S'. For example if S[“ab” 4] then 'S' = ”abababab”. You are given two string S1[s1, N1] and S2[s2, N2]. Your task is to find the maximum value of 'M' such that [S2, M] can be obtained from S1.
It is defined that 'S1' can be obtained from 'S2' if we can remove some character from 'S2' to get 'S1'. For example, string 's' = ”ab” can be obtained from “adeb” but not from “adef”.
For example,
S1[“abc” 4] , S2 = [“ab” 2]
Here, 'S1' = ”abcabcabcabc” and 'S2' = ”abab”,
After deleting all ‘c’ from 'S1' becomes S'1 = “abababab”, which can also be written as
S'1 =[“abab" 2] = [S2 2].
Hence the 'M' = 2.
