HackerRank The Minion Game solution in python

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024

In this HackerRank The Minion Game problem-solution, Kevin and Stuart want to play the ‘The Minion Game’.

Game Rules

Both players are given the same string, S.

Both players have to make substrings using the letters of the string S.

Stuart has to make words starting with consonants.

Kevin has to make words starting with vowels.

The game ends when both players have made all possible substrings.

Scoring

A player gets +1 point for each occurrence of the substring in the string S.

Your task is to determine the winner of the game and their score.

HackerRank The Minion Game solution in python

Problem solution in Python 2 programming.

# Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
vowels = ['A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U']
s = raw_input()
a = 0
b = 0
for i, c in enumerate(s):
    if c in vowels:
        b += len(s) - i
    else:
        a += len(s) - i
        
if a == b:
    print "Draw"
elif a > b:
    print 'Stuart {}'.format(a)
else:
    print 'Kevin {}'.format(b)

Problem solution in Python 3 programming.

def minion_game(string):
    vowels = 'AEIOU'
    Stuart_score, Kevin_score = 0, 0
    length = len(string)
    for start_idx in range(length):
        score = length - start_idx
        if string[start_idx] in vowels:
            Kevin_score += score
        else:
            Stuart_score += score
    if Stuart_score == Kevin_score:
        print('Draw')
    if Stuart_score > Kevin_score:
        print('Stuart {}'.format(Stuart_score))
    if Stuart_score < Kevin_score:
        print('Kevin {}'.format(Kevin_score))

Problem solution in pypy programming.

# Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT

input_string = raw_input()

vowels = ['A','E','I','O','U']

Kevin_score = 0
Stuart_score = 0

for i in range(len(input_string)):
    if input_string[i] in vowels:
        Kevin_score = Kevin_score + (len(input_string) - i)
    if input_string[i] not in vowels:
        Stuart_score = Stuart_score + (len(input_string) - i)
        
if Kevin_score == Stuart_score:
    print "Draw"
if Kevin_score > Stuart_score:
    print "Kevin",Kevin_score
if Kevin_score < Stuart_score:
    print "Stuart",Stuart_score

# Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
s=input()
vv='AEIOU'
l=len(s)
c=0
v=0
for i in range(l):
    if s[i] in vv:
        v+=l-i
    else:
        c+=l-i
if c>v:
    print ('Stuart',c)
elif c==v:
