Codechef SEPT17 CookOff - Subsequence Equality Problem Code: LIKECS01
Problem: (Link: https://www.codechef.com/problems/LIKECS01 )⌗
Chef Tobby is playing a rapid fire with Bhuvan. He gives Bhuvan a string
S and each time, Bhuvan has to guess whether there exists 2
equal subsequences in the
string or not.
Bhuvan got a perfect score in the game with Chef Tobby. However, Chef
Tobby has now asked Bhuvan to write a program that will do this
automatically given a string S. Bhuvan is an intelligent man but he
does not know how to write a code. Can you help him?
Find two different subsequences such that they are equal in their value,
more formally, find two sequences of indices (a1,
a2, …, ak-1, ak) and (b1,
b2, …, bk-1, bk) such that:
- 1≤ ai, bi ≤ |S|
- ai < ai+1 for all valid i
- bi < bi+1 for all valid i
- Sai = Sbi for all valid i
- there exist at least one i such that ai is not equal to bi
Input section⌗
The first line contains T, the number of test cases.
Each of the next T lines contain one string S each.
Input will only consist of lowercase english characters
Output section⌗
For each test case, output “yes” or “no” (without quotes) as the solution to the problem.
Input constraints⌗
1 ≤ T ≤ 1000
1 ≤ length of S ≤ 100
Sample Input⌗

Sample Output⌗
no
yes
no
yes
Explanation⌗
In test case 2, one of the possible equal subsequence is “vi”
and “vi”. (one at position {0, 3} and other at {4, 7},
assuming 0-based indexing).
In test case 4, one of the possible equal subsequence is “ce”
and “ce”. (one at position {0, 3} and other at {4, 6},
assuming 0-based indexing).

#include <iostream>
#include <set>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int t;
cin >> t;
while (t--) {
set<char> st;
string s;
cin >> s;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
st.insert(s[i]);
if (st.size() == s.length())
cout << "no" << endl;
else
cout << "yes" << endl;
}
return 0;
