stringmanipulate

Description

This Python package provides a collection of string manipulation functions, including grouping anagrams, checking string inclusions, decoding strings, and finding the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Installation

To install this package, run the following command in your terminal:

pip install stringmanipulate

Usage

Group Anagrams

groupAnagrams(strs: List[str]) -> List[List[str]]: This function takes a list of strings and groups anagrams together. An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. It returns a list where each element is a list of anagrams.

from stringmanipulate import groupAnagrams
# Example usage:
print(groupAnagrams(["bat", "tab", "eat", "tea", "tan", "nat"]))  
# Output: [["bat", "tab"], ["eat", "tea"], ["tan", "nat"]]

Check Inclusion

checkInclusion(s1: str, s2: str) -> bool: This function checks if one string (s1) is a permutation of any substring of another string (s2). It returns True if any permutation of s1 can be found as a substring in s2, otherwise False.

from stringmanipulate import checkInclusion
# Example usage:
print(checkInclusion("ab", "eidbaooo"))  
# Output: True

Length of Longest Substring

lengthOfLongestSubstring(s: str) -> int: This function finds the length of the longest substring without repeating characters in a given string (s). It returns the maximum length of such substrings.

from stringmanipulate import lengthOfLongestSubstring
# Example usage:
print(lengthOfLongestSubstring("abcabcbb"))  
# Output: 3

Decode String

decodeString(s: str) -> str: This function decodes a string that follows a specific pattern where k[encoded_string] indicates that the encoded_string within the square brackets should be repeated k times. It returns the fully decoded string.

from stringmanipulate import decodeString
# Example usage:
print(decodeString("3[a]2[bc]"))  
# Output: "aaabcbc"
