We are given a sentence. Our task is to print all funny words/strings in that sentence.
What is a funny word ?
Reverse the given string. Iterate through each character of that string, compare the absolute difference in the ASCII values of the characters at positions 0 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 3 and so on to the end. If the list of absolute differences is the same for both strings, they are funny otherwise not.
Examples:
Input : HKMNPS
Output : HKMNPS
Explanation:
Let r be the reverse of original string s
s = “HKMNPS”
r = “SPNMKH”
|H-K| = 3 = |S-P|
|K-M| = 2 = |P-N|
|M-N| = 1 = |N-M|
|N-P| = 2 = |M-K|
|P-S| = 3 = |K-H|
Since each comparison is equal so given string is funnyInput : bdwy
Output : bdwy
NOTE: Every palindrome string is a funny string but not vice-versa.
The idea is to split the string into words. For every word, traverse it from both ends and compare differences between adjacent characters.
Implementation:
C++
// C++ program to print all // funny words in a string #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; bool checkFunny(string word) { int i = 1; int j = word.length() - 2; for ( int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) word[i] = tolower (word[i]); while (i <= j) { if ( abs (word[i] - word[i - 1]) != abs (word[j] - word[j + 1])) return false ; i++; j--; } return true ; } void printFunnyWords(string str) { // to extract last word of sentence str += " " ; // to word stores each word of sentence string word = "" ; for ( int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) { char ch = str[i]; // extracting each word if (ch != ' ' ) word += ch; else { if (checkFunny(word)) cout << word << endl; word = "" ; } } if (word != "" ) { if (checkFunny(word)) cout << word << endl; } } // Driver Code int main() { printFunnyWords( "Miss Arora teaches us malayalam bdwy" ); return 0; } // This code is contributed by // sanjeev2552 |

Arora us malayalam bdwy
Time Complexity: O(|s|)
Auxiliary Space: O(|s|), where |s| is the length of the string.
