I am trying to solve this problem in spoj
I need to find the number of rotations of a given string that will make it lexicographically smallest among all the rotations.
For example:
Original: ama
First rotation: maa
Second rotation: aam This is the lexicographically smallest rotation so the answer is 2.
Here's my code:
string s,tmp;
char ss[100002];
scanf("%s",ss);
s=ss;
tmp=s;
int i,len=s.size(),ans=0,t=0;
for(i=0;i<len;i++)
{
string x=s.substr(i,len-i)+s.substr(0,i);
if(x<tmp)
{
tmp=x;
t=ans;
}
ans++;
}
cout<<t<<endl;
I am getting "Time Limit Exceeded" for this solution. I don't understand what optimizations can be made. How can I increase the speed of my solution?
