Anyone help me to find problem in my solution because it cannot pass hissen test case.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your code goes here
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t–){
long long a,b;
cin>>a>>b;
if(a%2==0&&b%2==0){
cout<<string(a/2,‘a’)+string(b,‘b’)+string(a/2,‘a’)<<endl;
cout<<string(b/2,‘b’)+string(a,‘a’)+string(b/2,‘b’)<<endl;
}
else if(b%2==0){
cout<<string(a/2,‘a’)+string(b/2,‘b’)+‘a’+string(b/2,‘b’)+string(a/2,‘a’)<<endl;
cout<<string(b/2,‘b’)+string(a,‘a’)+string(b/2,‘b’)<<endl;
}
else if(a%2==0){
cout<<string(b/2,‘b’)+string(a/2,‘a’)+‘b’+string(a/2,‘a’)+string(b/2,‘b’)<<endl;
cout<<string(a/2,‘a’)+string(b,‘b’)+string(a/2,‘a’)<<endl;
}
else{
cout<<-1<<endl;
}
}
return 0;
}

Hi there.

For someone to be able to help you, you will need to provide a link to the problem you’re trying to solve. Also, it helps a lot if you format your code properly, like this:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  // your code goes here
  int t;
  cin >> t;
  while (t--) {
    long long a, b;
    cin >> a >> b;
    if (a % 2 == 0 && b % 2 == 0) {
      cout << string(a / 2,'a') + string(b,'b') + string(a / 2,'a') << endl;
      cout << string(b / 2,'b') + string(a,'a') + string(b / 2,'b') << endl;
    } else if (b % 2 == 0) {
      cout << string(a / 2,'a') + string(b / 2,'b') +'a'+ string(b / 2,'b') +
                  string(a / 2,'a')
           << endl;
      cout << string(b / 2,'b') + string(a,'a') + string(b / 2,'b') << endl;
    } else if (a % 2 == 0) {
      cout << string(b / 2,'b') + string(a / 2,'a') +'b'+ string(a / 2,'a') +
                  string(b / 2,'b')
           << endl;
      cout << string(a / 2,'a') + string(b,'b') + string(a / 2,'a') << endl;
    } else {
      cout << -1 << endl;
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

On the presumption that this is PALINPAIN, your code fails on this test case, for which the expected answer is ‘-1’:
1
2 1

[Edit: linked to wrong problem, sorry]

Try this case:
7
1 1
1 2
2 1
1 3
3 1
1 4
4 1

should all be -1, yours is
-1
bab
bab
aba
aba
-1
-1
bbabb
bbabb
aabaa
aabaa

I did this but this gave me wrong answer???

#include
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main(){
int t; cin>>t;
while(t–){
int x,y; cin>>x>>y;
char a=‘a’,b=‘b’;

    if(x==1 || y==1 || (x%2==1 && y%2==1))
        cout<<-1<<endl;

    else{
        cout<<string((x/2),a)+string(y,b)+string((x/2),a)<<endl;
        cout<<string((y/2),b)+string(x,a)+string((y/2),b)<<endl;
    }

}
return 0;

}

Please format your code properly. using ‘pre-formatted text’, otherwise the editor mangles it.

Try this input, which should show you where you’re going wrong:
2
5 4
4 5

Check the following test case:

1 2

Your code output is:

bab
bab

while the correct answer is:

-1

as both palindrome strings are equal, and it is impossible to generate two different palindrome strings in this case. The issue with your solution is that when either X or Y is even and the other number is equal to 1, it is impossible to generate two different palindrome strings in this corner case.

Check the palindrome_pair class in the following solution.
