You are given a string s
of lowercase English letters and a 2D integer array shifts
where shifts[i] = [starti, endi, directioni]
. For every i
, shift the characters in s
from the index starti
to the index endi
(inclusive) forward if directioni = 1
, or shift the characters backward if directioni = 0
.
Shifting a character forward means replacing it with the next letter in the alphabet (wrapping around so that 'z'
becomes 'a'
). Similarly, shifting a character backward means replacing it with the previous letter in the alphabet (wrapping around so that 'a'
becomes 'z'
).
Return the final string after all such shifts to s
are applied.
Example 1:
Input: s = “abc”, shifts = [[0,1,0],[1,2,1],[0,2,1]]
Output: “ace”
Explanation: Firstly, shift the characters from index 0 to index 1 backward. Now s = “zac”.
Secondly, shift the characters from index 1 to index 2 forward. Now s = “zbd”.
Finally, shift the characters from index 0 to index 2 forward. Now s = “ace”.
Example 2:
Input: s = “dztz”, shifts = [[0,0,0],[1,1,1]]
Output: “catz”
Explanation: Firstly, shift the characters from index 0 to index 0 backward. Now s = “cztz”.
Finally, shift the characters from index 1 to index 1 forward. Now s = “catz”.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, shifts.length <= 5 * 104
shifts[i].length == 3
0 <= starti <= endi < s.length
0 <= directioni <= 1
s
