AnswersSay, you have an nXn grids of alphabets. If you are at (i,j), you can concat with all character adjacent to you except yourself. For example, you have grids like:
- realquant November 04, 2010
abc
def
ghi
from (2,2), you can form substrings:
e, eb,ec,ed,ef,eg,eh,ei
ead,eadg,eadgh,eadghi,edghif,edghifc...
Note that the string never visit a character twice.
How many such substrings can be formed in an nXn grid? Can you write it in closed form?| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
