You are given a string S of words. Your task is to count the occurrence of each word present in the string S. A word is a sequence of one or more non-space characters, and there can be multiple spaces between two words, and also there can be leading or trailing spaces in a string S.

For Example:
For the given string  “what we think we become”

“what”,” think”, and “become” occurs 1 time, and “we” occurs 2 times in the given string.

IBMTata Consultancy Services (TCS)Optum

You are given two strings 'str1' and 'str1'.


You have to tell whether these strings form an anagram pair or not.


The strings form an anagram pair if the letters of one string can be rearranged to form another string.

Pre-requisites:

Anagrams are defined as words or names that can be formed by rearranging the letters of another word. Such as "spar" can be formed by rearranging letters of "rasp". Hence, "spar" and "rasp" are anagrams. 

Other examples include:

'triangle' and 'integral'
'listen' and 'silent'
Note:
Since it is a binary problem, there is no partial marking. Marks will only be awarded if you get all the test cases correct. 
Problem approach

I did this question with the help of map.
I split the string on the basis of space and then counted the frequency of each word using map.

1. Palindromic Substrings

Asked in companies
SalesforcePaytm (One97 Communications Limited)Microsoft

You have been given a string STR. Your task is to find the total number of palindromic substrings of STR.

Example :
If the input string is "abbc", then all the possible palindromic substrings would be: ["a", "b", "b", c", "bb"] and hence, the output will be 5 since we have 5 substrings in total which form a palindrome.
Note :
A string is said to be a 'Palindrome' if it is read the same forwards and backwards. 
For example, “abba” is a palindrome, but “abbc” is not.

A 'Substring' is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. 
For example, "a", "b", "c", "ab", "bc", "abc" are substrings of "abc".
