Check if substring S1 appear after any occurrence of substring S2 in given sentence

Last Updated : 18 Jan, 2022

Given strings S1, S2 and S, the task is to check if every substring of S which is same as S1 has another substring of S same as S2 before it. It is given that S1 is always present as a substring in the string S.

Examples:

Input: S1 = “code”, S2 = “geek”, S = “sxygeeksgcodetecode”
Output: True
Explanation: Substring S2 is present before both the occurrence of S1.
“sxygeeksgcodetecode“

Input: S1 = “code”, S2 = “my”, “sxycodesforgeeksvhgh”
Output: False

Approach: The approach is to check which substring occurs first. If substring S2 occurs first return true. If S1 occurs first return false.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if S2 is present
// before all S1 in string S
bool chekfavstring(string& S, string& S1,
                   string& S2)
{
    bool cod = false;
    int n = S.size();
    int n1 = S1.size(), n2 = S2.size();
    for (int i = 0; i <= n - n2; i++) {
        string str;
        for (int k = i; k < i + n2; k++) {
            str.push_back(S[k]);
        }
        if (str == S2) {
            return true;
        }
        if (str == S1) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string S = "sxygeeksgcodetecode";
    string S1 = "code", S2 = "geek";
    chekfavstring(S, S1, S2) ? cout << "True"
                             : cout << "False";
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
class GFG {
 
  // Function to check if S2 is present
  // before all S1 in string S
  static boolean chekfavstring(String S, String S1,
                               String S2)
  {
    int n = S.length();
    int n1 = S1.length(), n2 = S2.length();
    for (int i = 0; i <= n - n2; i++) {
      String str = "";
      for (int k = i; k < i + n2; k++) {
        str += S.charAt(k);
      }
      if (str == S2) {
        return true;
      }
      if (str == S1) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  }
 
  // Driver Code
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String S = "sxygeeksgcodetecode";
    String S1 = "code", S2 = "geek";
 
    if (chekfavstring(S, S1, S2)) {
      System.out.print("True");
    }
    else {
      System.out.print("False");
    }
  }
}

        for k in range(i, i + n2):
            str += S[k]
