Check if String can be divided into two Subsequences so that product of sum is odd

Given a string S of length N, the task is to check whether it is possible to partition the string S into two disjoint non-empty subsequences S₁ and S2 such that sum(S1) × sum(S2) is odd and every character of S must be in either S2 and S1.

Examples:

Input: S = “1122”
Output: Yes

Explanation: We partition the string into two subsequences .Let S1 be the underlined elements and S2 be the other ones. sum(S1) × sum(S2) = 3 × 3 = 9.

Input: S = “135”
Output: No

Approach: The problem can be solved based on the following observation:

To make the product of two numbers odd, both numbers should be odd. So, the sum of S1 and S2 must be odd. This is only possible when each of them has odd number of odd integers. If the string has even number (except 0) of odd digits then only such a partition is possible. 

This satisfies that the sum of S will also be even and there will be atleast 2 odd numbers.

Follow the steps mentioned below to implement the idea:

• Traverse through the string S.
• Check if the sum is even and the number of odd digits is at least 2.
  • If the condition is satisfied, the partition is possible.
  • Otherwise, the partition is not possible.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ code to implement the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to Check whether it is
// possible to partition a string S
// into two non-empty sub-sequences
// S1 and S2.
string check(string S, int n)
{
    int arr[n];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        arr[i] = S.at(i) - '0';
    }
    int S1 = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        if ((arr[i] & 1) != 0)
            S1++;

    if ((S1 & 1) != 0 || S1 == 0)
        return "No";
    return "Yes";
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{

    string S = "1122";

    int N = S.length();

    // Function Call
    cout << check(S, N);

    return 0;
}
