Day 6: Part 2

Problem Description

In this part, the goal was to extend the logic to find a different condition within the character sequence. The new condition typically involves a longer unique sequence.

Approach

To tackle this problem, I followed these steps:
1. Reuse Previous Logic: I reused the sliding window logic from Part 1 to maintain consistency.
2. Adjust Window Size: I modified the size of the sliding window to accommodate the new condition, allowing for the examination of longer substrings.
3. Condition Checking: I applied the same condition checking logic to the new window size, ensuring that the substring met the specified criteria.
4. Output: Finally, I printed the position where the new condition was first met.

This approach efficiently identifies the position for the new condition while building on the existing logic.

Key Insights

• Reusing code can save time and reduce errors.
• Clear documentation of conditions is essential for maintaining code clarity.

Concepts and Algorithms Used

• Input Handling: Reading from files and processing strings.
• Data Structures: Strings for character sequences.
• Algorithms: Sliding window technique for condition checking with adjusted window size.
