17164 - Rainbow Beads
📌 문제
Jaehyun has a bead which consists of jewels arranged from left to right. Each jewel is in one of the three colors: Red, Blue, and Violet, which is represented as a single character R, B, V. As one of the committees in an important contest, Jaehyun wants to use it as a souvenir for some participant.
Jaehyun likes a bead with diverse colors, so he defines a bead beautiful if every adjacent jewel has different colors. For example, RBVBV is a beautiful bead because every adjacent jewel has a different color. V is a beautiful bead because it does not have adjacent pairs. However, RBBV is not a beautiful bead, because two B is adjacent in the string.
Not only Jaehyun likes a bead with diverse colors, but he likes a contest with diversity. This time, Jaehyun wants to make a bead that is also colorful to colorblind people. For convenience, we will only consider three kinds of people in this problem.
- Non-colorblind people, who can tell all three colors.
- Red-colorblind people (Protanopia), who can't tell apart red and violet: They consider violet jewels as red jewels.
- Blue-colorblind people (Tritanopia), who can't tell apart red blue and violet: They consider violet jewels as blue jewels.
In this case, the string RVB is colorful for non-colorblind people, but it is not colorful for red-colorblind people as red and violet jewels are adjacent, and it is also not colorful for blue-colorblind people as violet and blue jewels are adjacent.
Jaehyun wants to pick some contiguous part of the bead and cut it out to give as a souvenir. The part Jaehyun cuts should be colorful to all three kinds of people. Note that, if the whole bead is beautiful, then Jaehyun does not necessarily cut it out, but just give the whole bead. What is the length of the longest bead he can give?
📋 코드
N = int(input())
colors = list(input())
result, count = 0, 1
for i in range(1, N):
if colors[i-1] == 'R' and colors[i] == 'B' or colors[i-1] == 'B' and colors[i] == 'R':
count += 1
continue
result = max(result, count)
count = 1
result = max(result, count)
print(result)💡 한마디
2, 3번째 조건에 의해 R과 V / B와 V는 연속해서 올 수 없다. 따라서 구슬이 R-B 혹은 B-R 순서로 오는 경우에만 길이를 늘려준다.
