HackerEarth Two types of queries problem solution

In this HackerEarth Two types of queries problem solution you are given a string str. It costs one unit of a coin to change a character at an index. Your task is to convert it into a palindrome with minimum coins. Also, you are given  number of queries. The queries are of the following types:
  • 1 A B
  • 2
After solving the first type of query, you can convert character A into character B without any cost and vice versa. In the second type of query, you are required to answer the minimum cost that is required to convert the given string into a palindrome.
