The government of a small but important country has decided that the alphabet needs to be streamlined and reordered. Uppercase letters will be eliminated. They will issue a royal decree in the form of a String of B and A characters. The first character in the decree specifies whether a must come ( B )Before b in the new alphabet or ( A )After b . The second character determines the relative placement of b and c , etc. So, for example, "BAA" means that a must come Before b , b must come After c , and c must come After d .
Any letters beyond these requirements are to be excluded, so if the decree specifies k comparisons then the new alphabet will contain the first k+1 lowercase letters of the current alphabet.
Create a class Alphabet that contains the method choices that takes the decree as input and returns the number of possible new alphabets that conform to the decree. If more than 1,000,000,000 are possible, return -1.

Ink Blotting
One method for escaping from a maze is via ‘ink-blotting’. In this method your starting square
is marked with the number ‘1’. All free, valid squares north, south, east and west around the
number ‘1‘ are marked with a number ‘2’. In the next step, all free, valid squares around the two
are marked with a ‘3’ and the process is repeated iteratively until :
The exit is found (a free square other than the starting position is reached on the very edge
of the maze), or,
No more free squares are available, and hence no exit is possible.
The XML Toolbox converts MATLAB data types (such as double, char, struct, complex, sparse, logical) of any level of nesting to XML format and vice versa.
For example,
>> project.name = MyProject
>> project.id = 1234
>> project.param.a = 3.1415
>> project.param.b = 42
becomes with str=xml_format(project, off )
"<project>
<name>MyProject</name>
<id>1234</id>
<param>
<a>3.1415</a>
<b>42</b>
</param>
</project>"
On the other hand, if an XML string XStr is given, this can be converted easily to a MATLAB data type or structure V with the command V=xml_parse(XStr).
