MERGE THE TOOLS

 Consider the following:

  • A string, , of length  where .
  • An integer, , where  is a factor of .

We can split  into  substrings where each subtring, , consists of a contiguous block of  characters in . Then, use each  to create string  such that:

  • The characters in  are a subsequence of the characters in 
  • Any repeat occurrence of a character is removed from the string such that each character in  occurs exactly once. In other words, if the character at some index  in  occurs at a previous index  in , then do not include the character in string .

Given  and , print  lines where each line  denotes string 

Example 
 

There are three substrings of length  to consider: 'AAA', 'BCA' and 'DDE'. The first substring is all 'A' characters, so . The second substring has all distinct characters, so . The third substring has  different characters, so . Note that a subsequence maintains the original order of characters encountered. The order of characters in each subsequence shown is important. 

Function Description

Complete the merge_the_tools function in the editor below. 

merge_the_tools has the following parameters: 

  • string s: the string to analyze 
  • int k: the size of substrings to analyze 

Prints

Print each subsequence on a new line. There will be  of them. No return value is expected. 

Input Format

The first line contains a single string, 
The second line contains an integer, , the length of each substring.

Constraints

  • , where  is the length of 
  • It is guaranteed that  is a multiple of 

Sample Input

STDIN       Function
-----       --------
AABCAAADA   s = 'AABCAAADA'
3           k = 3

Sample Output

AB
CA
AD

Explanation

Split  into  equal parts of length . Convert each  to  by removing any subsequent occurrences of non-distinct characters in :

Print each  on a new line.

CODE:

def merge_the_tools(string, k):
    # your code goes here
    parts=len(string)/k
    t=[]
    u=[]
    for i in range(0,len(string),k):
        t.append(string[i:i+k])
    
    for i in t:
        s=''
        for j in i:
            if j not in s:
                s+=j
        u.append(s)
    for i in u:
        print(i)
        

if __name__ == '__main__':
    string, k = input(), int(input())
    merge_the_tools(string, k)
OTHER CODE:
def merge_the_tools(string, k):
    # your code goes here

    Nums=len(string)/k
    for i in range(int(Nums)):
        Toprint=[]
        val=i*k
        for j in range(k):
            if string[val+j] not in Toprint:
                Toprint.append(string[val+j])
        print(''.join(Toprint))
