Problem Statement for "Sherlock"

Problem Statement

  • Computer, find "BENADRYL CUCUMBERPATCH".
  • Did you mean the actor who played Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch?

Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor who is famous not only because of his roles. It is also known that you can misspell his name almost arbitrarily and people (and computers too!) will still recognize him.

In this problem, you are given the name of a person: the Strings firstName and lastName. We say that this name matches Benedict Cumberbatch if it has all properties listed below.

  1. Each name must have at least seven letters.
  2. The first name must start with 'B' and the last name must start with 'C'.
  3. At least three characters of firstName must appear somewhere in the name "BENEDICT".
  4. At least five characters of lastName must appear somewhere in the name "CUMBERBATCH".

In conditions 3 and 4 we count each occurrence of a letter, even if that letter occurs in the given name more times than in the actor's actual name. For example, "BATAXXAT" is a valid first name because three of its characters ('B', 'T', 'T') appear in "BENEDICT".

Return "It is him" if all conditions are satisfied and "It is someone else" if they aren't.
