3331: Find Subtree Sizes After Changes

Problem Statement

You are given a tree rooted at node 0 that consists of n nodes numbered from 0 to n - 1. The tree is represented by an array parent of size n, where parent[i] is the parent of node i. Since node 0 is the root, parent[0] == -1.

You are also given a string s of length n, where s[i] is the character assigned to node i.

We make the following changes on the tree one time simultaneously for all nodes x from 1 to n - 1:

  • Find the closest node y to node x such that y is an ancestor of x, and s[x] == s[y].
  • If node y does not exist, do nothing.
  • Otherwise, remove the edge between x and its current parent and make node y the new parent of x by adding an edge between them.

Return an array answer of size n where answer[i] is the size of the subtree rooted at node i in the final tree.

Example 1:

Input: parent = [-1,0,0,1,1,1], s = "abaabc"

Output: [6,3,1,1,1,1]

Explanation:

The parent of node 3 will change from node 1 to node 0.

Example 2:

Input: parent = [-1,0,4,0,1], s = "abbba"

Output: [5,2,1,1,1]

Explanation:

The following changes will happen at the same time:

  • The parent of node 4 will change from node 1 to node 0.
  • The parent of node 2 will change from node 4 to node 1.

Constraints:

  • n == parent.length == s.length
  • 1 <= n <= 105
  • 0 <= parent[i] <= n - 1 for all i >= 1.
  • parent[0] == -1
  • parent represents a valid tree.
  • s consists only of lowercase English letters.
