There is a list of items. Given a specific word, e.g., “sun”, print out all the items in list which contain all the characters of “sun”.
For example if the given word is “sun” and the items are “sunday”, “geeksforgeeks”, “utensils”, “”just” and “sss”, then the program should print “sunday” and “utensils”.
Algorithm: Thanks to geek4u for suggesting this algorithm.
1) Initialize a binary map: map[256] = {0, 0, ..} 2) Set values in map[] for the given word "sun" map['s'] = 1, map['u'] = 1, map['n'] = 1 3) Store length of the word "sun": len = 3 for "sun" 4) Pick words (or items)one by one from the list a) set count = 0; b) For each character ch of the picked word if(map['ch'] is set) increment count and unset map['ch'] c) If count becomes equal to len (3 for "sun"), print the currently picked word. d) Set values in map[] for next list item map['s'] = 1, map['u'] = 1, map['n'] = 1

// C program to print all strings that contain all // characters of a word # include <stdio.h> # include <stdlib.h> # include <string.h> # define NO_OF_CHARS 256 /* prints list items having all caharacters of word */ void print( char *list[], char *word, int list_size) { /*Since calloc is used, map[] is initialized as 0 */ int *map = ( int *) calloc ( sizeof ( int ), NO_OF_CHARS); int i, j, count, word_size; /*Set the values in map */ for (i = 0; *(word+i); i++) map[*(word + i)] = 1; /* Get the length of given word */ word_size = strlen (word); /* Check each item of list if has all characters of word*/ for (i = 0; i < list_size; i++) { for (j = 0, count = 0; *(list[i] + j); j++) { if (map[*(list[i] + j)]) { count++; /* unset the bit so that strings like sss not printed*/ map[*(list[i] + j)] = 0; } } if (count == word_size) printf ( "\n %s" , list[i]); /*Set the values in map for next item*/ for (j = 0; *(word+j); j++) map[*(word + j)] = 1; } } /* Driver program to test to pront printDups*/ int main() { char str[] = "sun" ; char *list[] = { "geeksforgeeks" , "unsorted" , "sunday" , "just" , "sss" }; print(list, str, 5); getchar (); return 0; } |
Output:
unsorted sunday
Time Complexity: O(n + m) where n is total number of characters in the list of items. And m = (number of items in list) * (number of characters in the given word)
