Martian DNA
This problem is adapted from BalticOI 2018 Day 1 “Martian DNA”.
You are given a string s of length N over an alphabet of size \(|\Sigma| = K\). In addition, there are R requirements. Each requirement is specified by a character B and an integer Q, meaning that the chosen substring must contain the character B at least Q times.
Your task is to find the length of the shortest contiguous substring of s that satisfies all R requirements. If no such substring exists, output -1.
inputFormat
The input is given as follows:
N K R s B1 Q1 B2 Q2 ... BR QR
Here,
- N is the length of the string.
- K is the size of the alphabet (\(|\Sigma| = K\)).
- R is the number of requirements.
- s is a string of length N consisting of characters from the given alphabet.
- Each of the next R lines contains a character B and an integer Q (separated by space), meaning that the substring must contain at least Q occurrences of B.
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the length of the shortest substring of s that meets all the requirements. If no such substring exists, output -1.
