1844. Replace All Digits with Characters

You are given a 0-indexed string s that has lowercase English letters in its even indices and digits in its odd indices.

There is a function shift(c, x), where c is a character and x is a digit, that returns the xth character after c.

• For example, shift('a', 5) = 'f' and shift('x', 0) = 'x'.

For every odd index i, you want to replace the digit s[i] with shift(s[i-1], s[i]).

Return s after replacing all digits. It is guaranteed that shift(s[i-1], s[i]) will never exceed 'z'.

Example 1:

Input: s = "a1c1e1"
Output: "abcdef"
Explanation: The digits are replaced as follows:
- s[1] -> shift('a',1) = 'b'
- s[3] -> shift('c',1) = 'd'
- s[5] -> shift('e',1) = 'f'

Example 2:

Input: s = "a1b2c3d4e"
Output: "abbdcfdhe"
Explanation: The digits are replaced as follows:
- s[1] -> shift('a',1) = 'b'
- s[3] -> shift('b',2) = 'd'
- s[5] -> shift('c',3) = 'f'
- s[7] -> shift('d',4) = 'h'

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 100
• s consists only of lowercase English letters and digits.
• shift(s[i-1], s[i]) <= 'z' for all odd indices i.

Solutions (Rust)

1. Solution

impl Solution {
    pub fn replace_digits(s: String) -> String {
        let mut s = s.into_bytes();

        for i in (1..s.len()).step_by(2) {
            s[i] += s[i - 1] - b'0';
        }

        String::from_utf8(s).unwrap()
    }
}
