Write code to find the lexicographic minimum in a circular array, e.g. for the array BCABDADAB, the lexicographic minimum is ABBCABDAD
Input Constraint: 1 < n < 1000 

Examples: 

Input:  GEEKSQUIZ
Output: EEKSQUIZG

Input: GFG
Output: FGG

Input : CAPABCQ
Output : ABCQCAP

We have discussed a O(n2Logn) solution in Lexicographically minimum string rotation | Set 1. Here we need to find the starting index of minimum rotation and then print the rotation.

1) Initially assume 0 to be current min 
starting index.
2) Loop through i = 1 to n-1.
a) For each i compare sequence starting
at i with current min starting index
b) If sequence starting at i is lexicographically
smaller, update current min starting
index.

Here is the pseudo-code for the algorithm 

function findIndexForSmallestSequence(S, n):
result = 0
for i = 1:n-1
if (sequence beginning at i <
sequence beginning at result)
result = i
end if
end for
return result

Here is implementation of above algorithm. 


Output
AADCACBC

Complexity Analysis:

  • Time Complexity : O(n^2)
  • Auxiliary Space : O(1)
