USACO 5.5 Hidden Password

Hidden Password

ACM South Eastern Europe -- 2003

Sometimes the programmers have very strange ways of hiding their passwords. Billy "Hacker" Geits chooses a string S composed of L (5 <= L <= 100,000) lowercase letters ('a'..'z') with length L. Then he makes and sorts all L-1 one-letter left cyclic shifts of the string. He then takes as a password one prefix of the lexicographically first of the obtained strings (including S).

For example consider the string "alabala". The sorted cyclic one-letter left shifts (including the initial string) are:

aalabal 
abalaal 
alaalab 
alabala 
balaala 
laalaba 
labalaa

Lexicographically, first string is 'aalabal'. The first letter of this string ('a') is the 'a' that was in position 6 in the initial string (counting the first letter in the string as position 0).

Write a program that, for given string S, finds the start position of the first letter of the sorted list of cyclic shifts of the string. If the first element appears more than once in the sorted list, then the program should output the smallest possible initial position.

PROGRAM NAME: hidden

INPUT FORMAT

• Line 1: A single integer: L
• Line 2..?: All L characters of the the string S, broken across lines such that each line has 72 characters except the last one, which might have fewer.

SAMPLE INPUT (file hidden.in)

alabala

OUTPUT FORMAT

• Line 1: A single integer that is the start position of the first letter, as described above.

SAMPLE OUTPUT (file hidden.out)

它只让你输出最小值你为什么要排序sjq你是sb吗！！！！
这道题一开始的思路是建l个string排个序……【为什么要排序！！！】然后爆空间了
然后开始用lcp（最小公共前缀）然后排个序【为什么要排序！！！】然后超时了
我想，不能超时啊……nlognlogn啊……【为什么要排序！！！】
我又一想，哎，我为什么要排序啊？【对啊！！！！】
然后我做完了
好了这道题的思路就是把字符串复制一下，使它变成2*l长，这样我们断环为链，再处理成一个字符串hash
对于每两个开头a，b二分得出他们的lcp，然后比较lcp的下一位，或者他们完全相等比较a，b大小
这道题我们只输出最小值O（L）就可以选出最小值，加上二分的复杂度，最大也就是O（LlogL） 【所以你为什么要排序！！！】
