cyclicString
We call a string cyclic if it can be obtained by concatenating another string to itself many times (for example, s2 = "abcabcabcabc..."
is cyclic since it can be obtained from s1 = "abc"
in such a way).
You’re given a substring s
of some cyclic string. What’s the length of the smallest possible string that can be concatenated to itself many times to obtain this cyclic string?
Example
For s = "cabca"
, the output should be cyclicString(s) = 3
.
"cabca"
is a substring of a cycle string "abcabcabcabc..."
that can be obtained by concatenating "abc"
to itself. Thus, the answer is 3
.
