Problem Statement


Let's say you have a binary string such as the following:

011100011          

One way to encrypt this string is to add to each digit the sum of            its adjacent digits. For example, the above string would become:

123210122          

In particular, if P is the original string, and Q            is the encrypted string, then Q[i] = P[i-1] + P[i] + P[i+1]            for all digit positions i. Characters off the left and            right edges of the string are treated as zeroes.

An encrypted string given to you in this format can be decoded as            follows (using 123210122 as an example):

  1. Assume P[0] = 0.

  2. Because Q[0] = P[0] + P[1] = 0 + P[1] = 1, we know that P[1]              = 1.

  3. Because Q[1] = P[0] + P[1] + P[2] = 0 + 1 + P[2] = 2,              we know that P[2] = 1.

  4. Because Q[2] = P[1] + P[2] + P[3] = 1 + 1 + P[3] = 3,              we know that P[3] = 1.

  5. Repeating these steps gives us P[4] = 0, P[5] = 0,              P[6] = 0, P[7] = 1, and P[8] = 1.

  6. We check our work by noting that Q[8] = P[7] + P[8] = 1 + 1              = 2. Since this equation works out, we are finished, and we              have recovered one possible original string.

Now we repeat the process, assuming the opposite about P[0]:

  1. Assume P[0] = 1.

  2. Because Q[0] = P[0] + P[1] = 1 + P[1] = 1, we know that P[1]              = 0.

  3. Because Q[1] = P[0] + P[1] + P[2] = 1 + 0 + P[2] = 2,              we know that P[2] = 1.

  4. Now note that Q[2] = P[1] + P[2] + P[3] = 0 + 1 + P[3] = 3,              which leads us to the conclusion that P[3] = 2.              However, this violates the fact that each character in the              original string must be '0' or '1'. Therefore, there exists no              such original string P where the first digit is '1'.

Note that this algorithm produces at most two decodings for any            given encrypted string. There can never be more than one possible            way to decode a string once the first binary digit is set.

Given a String message, containing the encrypted string,            return a String[] with exactly two elements. The first element            should contain the decrypted string assuming the first character            is '0'; the second element should assume the first character is            '1'. If one of the tests fails, return the string "NONE" in its            place. For the above example, you should return {"011100011",            "NONE"}.

Examples

0)

"123210122"
                   
Returns: { "011100011",  "NONE" }
             

The example from above.

1)

"11"
                   
Returns: { "01",  "10" }
             

We know that one of the digits must be '1', and the                        other must be '0'. We return both cases.

2)

"22111"
                   
Returns: { "NONE",  "11001" }
             

Since the first digit of the encrypted string is '2',                        the first two digits of the original string must be                        '1'. Our test fails when we try to assume that P[0]                        = 0.

3)

"123210120"
                   
Returns: { "NONE",  "NONE" }
             

This is the same as the first example, but the                        rightmost digit has been changed to something                        inconsistent with the rest of the original string. No                        solutions are possible.

4)

"3"
                   
Returns: { "NONE",  "NONE" }
             

5)

"12221112222221112221111111112221111"
                   
Returns: 
{ "01101001101101001101001001001101001",
  "10110010110110010110010010010110010" }
