To some stringS
, we will perform some replacement operations that replace groups of letters with new ones (not necessarily the same size).
Each replacement operation has3
parameters: a starting indexi
, a source word x
and a target word y
. The rule is that ifx
starts at positioni
in theoriginalstringS
, then we will replace that occurrence of x
with y
. If not, we do nothing.
For example, if we have S = "abcd"
and we have some replacement operation i = 2, x = "cd", y = "ffff"
, then because "cd"
starts at position2
in the original stringS
, we will replace it with"ffff"
.
Using another example onS = "abcd"
, if we have both the replacement operationi = 0, x = "ab", y = "eee"
, as well as another replacement operation i = 2, x = "ec", y = "ffff"
, this second operation does nothing because in the original string S[2] = 'c'
, which doesn't match x[0] = 'e'
.
All these operations occur simultaneously. It's guaranteed that there won't be any overlap in replacement: for example, S = "abc", indexes = [0, 1], sources = ["ab","bc"]
is not a valid test case.
Example 1:
Input:
S = "abcd", indexes = [0,2], sources = ["a","cd"], targets = ["eee","ffff"]
Output:
"eeebffff"
Explanation:
"a" starts at index 0 in S, so it's replaced by "eee".
"cd" starts at index 2 in S, so it's replaced by "ffff".
Example 2:
Input:
S = "abcd", indexes = [0,2], sources = ["ab","ec"], targets = ["eee","ffff"]
Output:
"eeecd"
Explanation:
"ab" starts at index 0 in S, so it's replaced by "eee".
"ec" doesn't starts at index 2 in the
original
S, so we do nothing.
