Menor Palíndromo após substituição

Dada uma string que possui alguns caracteres alfabéticos minúsculos e um caractere especial ponto (.). Precisamos substituir todos os pontos por algum caractere do alfabeto de tal forma que a string resultante se torne um palíndromo. No caso de muitas substituições possíveis, precisamos escolher a string do palíndromo que seja lexicograficamente menor. Se não for possível converter string em palíndromo após todas as substituições possíveis, a saída Não é possível. 

Exemplos:  

Input : str = ab..e.c.a Output : abcaeacba The smallest palindrome which can be made after replacement is 'abcaeacba' We replaced first dot with 'c' second dot with 'a' third dot with 'a' and fourth dot with 'b' Input : str = ab..e.c.b Output : Not Possible It is not possible to convert above string into palindrome

Podemos resolver este problema da seguinte maneira: Como a string resultante precisa ser um palíndromo, podemos verificar o par de caracteres que não são pontos no início, se eles não corresponderem, o retorno direto não é possível porque podemos colocar o novo caractere na posição dos pontos, mas não em qualquer outro lugar. 



Depois disso, iteramos sobre os caracteres da string se o caractere atual for um ponto, então verificamos seu caractere emparelhado (caractere na (n - i -1)-ésima posição). Se esse caractere também for um ponto, podemos substituir ambos os caracteres por 'a' porque 'a' é o menor alfabeto minúsculo, o que garantirá a menor string lexicográfica no final, substituindo ambos por qualquer outro caractere, resultará em uma string palindrômica lexicograficamente maior. Em outro caso, se o caractere emparelhado não for um ponto, para criar uma string palíndromo, devemos substituir o caractere atual pelo seu caractere emparelhado. 

So in short If both 'i' and 'n- i- 1' are dot replace them by ‘a’ If one of them is a dot character replace that by other non-dot character

O procedimento acima nos fornece a menor string de palíndromo lexicograficamente.
