Given the strings s1
and s2
of size n
, and the string evil
. Return the number of good strings.
A good string has size n
, it is alphabetically greater than or equal to s1
, it is alphabetically smaller than or equal to s2
, and it does not contain the string evil
as a substring. Since the answer can be a huge number, return this modulo 10^9 + 7.
Example 1:
Input: n = 2, s1 = "aa", s2 = "da", evil = "b" Output: 51 Explanation: There are 25 good strings starting with 'a': "aa","ac","ad",...,"az". Then there are 25 good strings starting with 'c': "ca","cc","cd",...,"cz" and finally there is one good string starting with 'd': "da".
Example 2:
Input: n = 8, s1 = "leetcode", s2 = "leetgoes", evil = "leet" Output: 0 Explanation: All strings greater than or equal to s1 and smaller than or equal to s2 start with the prefix "leet", therefore, there is not any good string.
Example 3:
Input: n = 2, s1 = "gx", s2 = "gz", evil = "x" Output: 2
Constraints:
s1.length == n
s2.length == n
1 <= n <= 500
1 <= evil.length <= 50
- All strings consist of lowercase English letters.

Let dp[i][j][k]
Let tr[i][j]
be the maximum suffix length if we prepend character 'a' + j
to a e
's suffix of size i
.
For example, if e = "abab"
, i = 2
, j = 1
, so the new suffix we get by prepending 'a' + 1 = 'b'
to e[0..(i-1)] = "ab"
is "bab"
, and "bab"
is a suffix of e
that is of size 3
. So tr[2][1] = 3
.
