is it possible that S evaluates to “.” or “.000000” after applying the rules?
can the output be a negative decimal number(after applying the rules).?

No ! it’s clearly mentioned that
“After all the character replacements, the string is guaranteed to be a decimal number”

No its not possible.
@achaitanyasai: What happens after all the character replacements the string is 0000.0000 ? What will be the shortest notation of this string? 0 or 0000 or no change or something else?

ans for 000.000 should be 0.
for 0 it should be 0.
.000 shouldn’t be a testcase.
correct me if i m wrong.
if this happens , I think u should output 0 for it
but as achaitanyasal said that I will be a decimal number
but if there are extra prefix 0s then it also has very slight possibility of ur case being existing in the test cases
No, after decrypting, the string is ensured to be a decimal number,
Its one of those problems which are really easy, but is quite tricky to implement because of some corner cases!
