Answer 2

Answer:

The printer has a pointer that is initially at​ a.

Explanation:

A circular printer container consisting of lowercase alphabets from ‘a’ to ‘z’, a pointer pointing first at alphabet ‘a’, and a string "str", the task is to find the minimum time required to print the given string "str" from the circular container, based on below mentioned operations that can be performed on every character:

• Move the pointer one character anti-clockwise or clockwise in one unit time

• Print the character in one unit time, and then move the pointer to the next index of the string

Below steps can be followed to solve the given problem:

• Calculate time required to reach character index from current pointer index in both directions:

1. clockwise time is calculated by taking absolute difference of both indices
2. anti-clockwise time is calculated by subtracting clockwise time from 26

• Minimum of both times obtained in the previous step is added to the answer

• Then print the character, one unit time is also added to the answer

Finally print the answer obtained as the minimum time required.
