Print all Palindromic Partitions of a String using Bit Manipulation (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 28 May, 2024

Given a string, find all possible palindromic partitions of a given string.

Note that this problem is different from Palindrome Partitioning Problem, there the task was to find the partitioning with minimum cuts in input string. Here we need to print all possible partitions.

**Example:

**Input: nitin
**Output: n i t i n
n iti n
nitin

**Input: geeks
**Output: g e e k s
g ee k s

Please refer Print all Palindromic Partitions of a String using Backtracking for Backtracking approach for this problem.

**Print all Palindromic Partitions Using Bit Manipulation

The idea is to consider the space between two characters in the string.

If there **n characters in the string, then there are **n-1 positions to put a space or say cut the string.

Each of these positions can be given a binary number 1 (If a cut is made in this position) or 0 (If no cut is made in this position).

This will give a total of 2 n-1 partitions and for each partition check whether this partition is palindrome or not.

**Illustration:

**Input : geeks

0100 => ["ge","eks"] (not valid)
1011 => ["g","ee","k","s"] (valid)
1111 => ["g","e","e","k","s"] (valid)
0000 => ["geeks"] (not valid)

Below is the implementation of the idea.

C++ `

#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;

class GFG { public: vector<vector > ans;

// Checks whether a Partition of string is palindrome or
// not.
bool checkPalindrome(vector<string> currPartition)
{
    for (auto s : currPartition) {
        int n = s.size();
        int i = 0, j = n - 1;
        while (i < j) {
            if (s[i] != s[j])
                return false;
            i++;
            j--;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

// Generates partition of a string according to
// bitString.
void generatePartition(string& s, string& bitString)
{
    vector<string> currPartition;
    string subString;
    subString.push_back(s[0]);
    for (int i = 0; i < bitString.size(); i++) {

        // If current character of bitString is '0' no
        // cut will be made and next character will be
        // included in the current subString
        if (bitString[i] == '0') {
            // no cut is made so next character is added
            // to substring
            subString.push_back(s[i + 1]);
        }

        // If current character of bitString is '1' then
        // a cut will be made and current subString will
        // be appended in current Partition and new
        // subString will start from next position.
        else {
            // subString is added to current Partition.
            currPartition.push_back(subString);

            subString.clear();

            // New substring is created starting from
            // next position of string s.
            subString.push_back(s[i + 1]);
        }
    }
    currPartition.push_back(subString);
    if (checkPalindrome(currPartition)) {
        ans.push_back(currPartition);
    }
}

// Recursive function to generate all the bitStrings
// which will denote the positions in which string will
// be cut.
void bitManipulation(string& s, string& bitString)
{
    // When a bitString is generated generatePartition()
    // will be called to partition the string
    // accordingly.
    if (bitString.size() == s.size() - 1) {

        return;
    }
    bitString.push_back('1');
    bitManipulation(s, bitString);
    bitString.pop_back();
    bitString.push_back('0');
    bitManipulation(s, bitString);
    bitString.pop_back();
}
// Return all the palindromic partition of string s.
vector<vector<string> > Partition(string s)
{
    string bitString;
    bitManipulation(s, bitString);
    return ans;
