Problem : https://www.codechef.com/problems/LIKECS01

Chef Tobby is playing a rapid fire with Bhuvan. He gives Bhuvan a string S and each time, Bhuvan has to guess whether there exists 2 equal subsequences in the string or not.
Bhuvan got a perfect score in the game with Chef Tobby. However, Chef Tobby has now asked Bhuvan to write a program that will do this automatically given a string S. Bhuvan is an intelligent man but he does not know how to write a code. Can you help him?
Find two different subsequences such that they are equal in their value, more formally, find two sequences of indices (a1, a2, ..., ak-1, ak) and (b1, b2, ..., bk-1, bk) such that:

  1. 1≤ ai, bi ≤ |S|
  2. ai < ai+1 for all valid i
  3. bi < bi+1 for all valid i
  4. Sai = Sbi for all valid i
  5. there exist at least one i such that ai is not equal to bi

Input section

The first line contains T, the number of test cases.
Each of the next T lines contain one string S each.
Input will only consist of lowercase english characters

Output section

For each test case, output "yes" or "no" (without quotes) as the solution to the problem.

Input constraints

1 ≤ T ≤ 1000 1 ≤ length of S ≤ 100

Sample Input

4 likecs venivedivici bhuvan codechef

Sample Output

no yes no yes

Explanation

In test case 2, one of the possible equal subsequence is "vi" and "vi". (one at position 3 and other at 7, assuming 0-based indexing).
In test case 4, one of the possible equal subsequence is "ce" and "ce". (one at position 3 and other at 6, assuming 0-based indexing).

Solution

#include <iostream>
#include <set>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int t;
cin >> t;
while (t--) {
set<char> st;
string s;
cin >> s;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
st.insert(s[i]);
if (st.size() == s.length())
cout << "no" << endl;
else
cout << "yes" << endl;
}
return 0;
}
