if any appropriate substring exists, an appropriate substring of length 2 also exists.↵
</spoiler>↵
↵
↵
<spoiler summary = "Solution">↵
Why does the problem ask us only to check if we can do less than n↵
operations instead of just asking the minimum amount? That must be making the problem easier, so let's focus our attention on that.↵
↵
What if it was ≤n↵
instead of <n↵
? Well, then the problem would be trivial. You can type the word letter by letter and be done in n↵
operations. So we only have to save one operation. In order to save at least one operation, we have to use the copy operation and copy more than one character in that.↵
↵
Let's think further. Imagine we found a substring that works. Let it have length k↵
. Notice how you can remove its last character, obtaining a substring of length k−1↵
, and it will still occur in the same set of positions (possibly, even more occurrences will be found). Remove characters until the substring has length 2↵
. Thus, if any appropriate substring exists, an appropriate substring of length 2↵
also exists.↵
↵
Finally, we can check if there exists a substring of length 2↵
that appears at least twice in the string so that the occurrences are at least 2↵
apart. That can be done with a set or a dictionary. Some implementations might require careful handling of the substrings of kind "aa", "bb" and similar.↵

Consider The cases where n is even and odd↵
</spoiler>↵
↵
↵
<spoiler summary = "Solution">↵
Let's assume that 1 to 2n is paired and each sum of pair is k,k+1,⋯,k+n−1↵
. Sum from 1↵
to 2n↵
should equal to the sum of k↵
to k+n−1↵
. So we obtain n(2n+1)=(2k+n−1)n/2↵
, which leads to 4n+2=2k+n−1↵
. Since 4n+2↵
is even, 2k+n−1↵
should be even. So if n↵
is even, we cannot find such pairing.↵
↵
If n↵
is odd, there are various ways to make such pairing. ↵
Let's see one of them, If all the sums of the pairs are consecutive, it is possible to find the middle element by dividing the total sum of the pairs by n. From that, we can determine all the sums of the pairs, such as k, k+1, k+2, ..., k+n-1. We can then separate the sums into odd and even categories. For example, let the first sum (k) be even; we can start with 1 and k-1. By incrementing both numbers by 1, we can find the next even number. So, the first odd pair sum is k + 1. We can use the numbers (ceil(n/2) + 1) and (k + 1 — ceil(n/2) + 1) to obtain k + 1. By continuing to add 1 to both numbers, we can generate the next odd number.↵

<p>At first, we will count the occurrences of "$abacaba$" within the given string $s$. If the count is exactly one, it means there is a unique occurrence of "$abacaba$" in $s$.
