HackerEarth The Alphabet Chocolate problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202413 February 2026

In this HackerEarth The Alphabet Chocolate problem solution A long chocolate was given as a gift to Alice by Bob. The chocolate is a series of square tiles connected to each other in a straight line. Each chocolate piece contains an alphabet carved on it.

Now Alice picks a single part of chocolate and eats it. The taste of a chocolate’s part is determined by how many squares are there in that part on which a vowel is carved.

Since there are lots of ways for Alice to choose her chocolate part, find the sum of tastes of all the possible chocolate parts that can be cut out of the given chocolate.
