| 1 | +<p>You are given a string array <code>words</code>, and an array <code>groups</code>, both arrays having length <code>n</code>.</p> |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +<p>The <strong>hamming distance</strong> between two strings of equal length is the number of positions at which the corresponding characters are <strong>different</strong>.</p> |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +<p>You need to select the <strong>longest</strong> <span data-keyword="subsequence-array">subsequence</span> from an array of indices <code>[0, 1, ..., n - 1]</code>, such that for the subsequence denoted as <code>[i<sub>0</sub>, i<sub>1</sub>, ..., i<sub>k-1</sub>]</code> having length <code>k</code>, the following holds:</p> |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +<ul> |
| 8 | + <li>For <strong>adjacent</strong> indices in the subsequence, their corresponding groups are <strong>unequal</strong>, i.e., <code>groups[i<sub>j</sub>] != groups[i<sub>j+1</sub>]</code>, for each <code>j</code> where <code>0 < j + 1 < k</code>.</li> |
| 9 | + <li><code>words[i<sub>j</sub>]</code> and <code>words[i<sub>j+1</sub>]</code> are <strong>equal</strong> in length, and the <strong>hamming distance</strong> between them is <code>1</code>, where <code>0 < j + 1 < k</code>, for all indices in the subsequence.</li> |
| 10 | +</ul> |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +<p>Return <em>a string array containing the words corresponding to the indices <strong>(in order)</strong> in the selected subsequence</em>. If there are multiple answers, return <em>any of them</em>.</p> |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +<p><strong>Note:</strong> strings in <code>words</code> may be <strong>unequal</strong> in length.</p> |
| 15 | + |

| 17 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +<div class="example-block" style="border-color: var(--border-tertiary); border-left-width: 2px; color: var(--text-secondary); font-size: .875rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible; padding-left: 1rem;"> |
| 20 | +<p><strong>Input: </strong><span class="example-io" style="font-family: Menlo,sans-serif; font-size: 0.85rem;">words = ["bab","dab","cab"], groups = [1,2,2]</span></p> |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +<p><strong>Output: </strong><span class="example-io" style="font-family: Menlo,sans-serif; font-size: 0.85rem;">["bab","cab"]</span></p> |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +<p><strong>Explanation: </strong>A subsequence that can be selected is <code>[0,2]</code>.</p> |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +<ul> |
| 27 | + <li><code>groups[0] != groups[2]</code></li> |
| 28 | + <li><code>words[0].length == words[2].length</code>, and the hamming distance between them is 1.</li> |
| 29 | +</ul> |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +<p>So, a valid answer is <code>[words[0],words[2]] = ["bab","cab"]</code>.</p> |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +<p>Another subsequence that can be selected is <code>[0,1]</code>.</p> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +<ul> |
| 36 | + <li><code>groups[0] != groups[1]</code></li> |
| 37 | + <li><code>words[0].length == words[1].length</code>, and the hamming distance between them is <code>1</code>.</li> |
| 38 | +</ul> |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +<p>So, another valid answer is <code>[words[0],words[1]] = ["bab","dab"]</code>.</p> |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +<p>It can be shown that the length of the longest subsequence of indices that satisfies the conditions is <code>2</code>.</p> |
| 43 | +</div> |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +<div class="example-block" style="border-color: var(--border-tertiary); border-left-width: 2px; color: var(--text-secondary); font-size: .875rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible; padding-left: 1rem;"> |
| 48 | +<p><strong>Input: </strong><span class="example-io" style="font-family: Menlo,sans-serif; font-size: 0.85rem;">words = ["a","b","c","d"], groups = [1,2,3,4]</span></p> |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +<p><strong>Output: </strong><span class="example-io" style="font-family: Menlo,sans-serif; font-size: 0.85rem;">["a","b","c","d"]</span></p> |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +<p><strong>Explanation: </strong>We can select the subsequence <code>[0,1,2,3]</code>.</p> |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +<p>It satisfies both conditions.</p> |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +<p>Hence, the answer is <code>[words[0],words[1],words[2],words[3]] = ["a","b","c","d"]</code>.</p> |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +<p>It has the longest length among all subsequences of indices that satisfy the conditions.</p> |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +<p>Hence, it is the only answer.</p> |
| 61 | +</div> |

| 65 | + |

| 67 | + <li><code>1 <= n == words.length == groups.length <= 1000</code></li> |
