Two coding questions based on Strings.

String Minimization
Task: Minimize the length of a string (S) consisting of ‘a, ‘b’, and ‘c’.
Operation: Split the string into two non-empty parts and append the left part to the right part.
Special Rule: While appending, remove matching characters from the boundaries of the appended portions.
Objective: Find the shortest possible resulting string length.


Cyclic Shift
Input:
Integer N represented as a 16-bit binary.
Integer ‘m’ represents the number of positions to shift.
Character ‘c’ can be either ‘L’ for a left shift or ‘R’ for right shift.
Task: Determine the number ‘M’ generated after cyclically shifting the binary representation of N by ‘m’ positions, based on the direction specified by ‘c’ (‘L’ for left, ‘R’ for right).
