Given an integer N and a binary string consisting of 4*N number of 0s initially, the task is to flip the characters such that any two pair of indices of the string consisting of 1s are neither co-prime nor the pair of indices can be divisible by each other. 
Note: Consider 1-based indexing.

Examples:

Input: N = 3, S =000000000000”
Output: 000000010101
Explanation: In the modified string “000000010101”, the indices of 1s are {8, 10, 12}. In the above set of indices, there does not exist any pair of indices that are co-prime and divisible by each other.

Input: N = 2, S = “00000000”
Output: 00000101

Approach: The given problem can be solved based on the observation that if the characters are flipped at the positions 4*N, 4*N – 2, 4*N – 4, … up to N terms, then there doesn’t exist any pair of indices that are divisible by each other and having GCD as 1.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to modify a string such
// that there doesn't exist any pair
// of indices consisting of 1s, whose
// GCD is 1 and are divisible by each other
void findString(char S[], int N)
{
  int strLen = 4 * N;
 
  // Flips characters at indices
  // 4N, 4N - 2, 4N - 4 .... upto N terms
  for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
 
    S[strLen - 1] = '1';
    strLen -= 2;
  }
 
  // Print the string
  for (int i = 0; i < 4 * N; i++) {
    cout << S[i];
  }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
  int N = 2;
 
  char S[4 * N];
 
  // Initialize the string S
  for (int i = 0; i < 4 * N; i++)
    S[i] = '0';
  // function call
  findString(S, N);
  return 0;
}

    // GCD is 1 and are divisible by each other
    public static void findString(char S[], int N)
    {
        int strLen = 4 * N;
 
        // Flips characters at indices
        // 4N, 4N - 2, 4N - 4 .... upto N terms
        for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
 
            S[strLen - 1] = '1';
            strLen -= 2;
        }
 
        // Print the string
        System.out.println(S);
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int N = 2;
 
        char S[] = new char[4 * N];
 
        // Initialize the string S
        for (int i = 0; i < 4 * N; i++)
            S[i] = '0';
 
        findString(S, N);
    }
}

      // Initialize the string S
