Problem Description
You are given a number of case-sensitive strings of alphabetic characters, find the largest string X, such that either X, or its inverse can be found as a substring of any of the given strings.
Input
The first line of the input file contains a single integer t (1 <= t <= 10), the number of test cases, followed by the input data for each test case. the first line of each test case contains a single integer n (1 <= n <= 100), the number of given strings, followed by n lines, each representing one string of minimum length 1 and maximum length 100. there is no extra white space before and after a string.
Output
There shoshould be one line per test case containing the length of the largest string found.

Enumerate the possible strings directly and then perform verification.
Code:
#include <cstdio> #include <cstring> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; string s[102]; int n; bool check(string sub) { int i, j; string tmp; for(i=0; i<sub.size(); i++) tmp +=sub[ sub.size()-1-i]; for(i=0; i<n; i++) if(s[i].find(sub)==s[i].npos && s[i].find(tmp)==s[i].npos) return false; return true; } void solve(int t,int p) { string sub; int i, j, k; int ans =0; for(i=0; i<t; i++) for(j=t-1; j>=i; j--) { if(j-i+1<ans) continue; sub = s[p].substr(i,j-i+1); if(check(sub)) { if(j-i+1>ans) ans = j-i+1; } } cout<<ans<<endl; } int main() { // freopen("in.txt","r",stdin); int T,i,t,sub_i, j; cin>>T; while(T--) { cin>>n; t = 200; for(i=0; i<n; i++) { cin>>s[i]; if(s[i].size()<t) { t =s[i].size(); sub_i = i; } } solve(t, sub_i); } return 0; }
