Prerequisites
How to Solve Complex Mixed String Problems
Step 1: Write the given complex string (may contain letters, digits, symbols)
Step 2: Reverse the order of all characters
Step 3: For each character in the reversed string, identify its type
Step 4: Apply the appropriate water image rule for that character type
Step 5: Letters: apply letter rules (symmetrical letters same; M↔W)
Step 6: Digits: apply digit rules (0,1,8 same; 6↔9)
Step 7: Symbols: apply symbol rules (+,-,*,= same; /↔\)
Step 8: Combine all transformed characters in order
Example Problem
Example: Find the water image of 'M6+W'. Solution: Step 1: Given string: M 6 + W Step 2: Reverse order: W + 6 M Step 3: Water image of W = M Step 4: Water image of + = + Step 5: Water image of 6 = 9 Step 6: Water image of M = W Step 7: Combine: M + 9 W = 'M+9W' Step 8: Water image of 'M6+W' is 'M+9W' Answer: M+9W
Pro Tips & Tricks
- Always reverse the entire string first regardless of character types
- Create a mental or written mapping of the reversed string
- Handle each character type with its specific rules
- Letters: A,H,I,O,T,U,V,X,Y → same; M↔W
- Digits: 0,1,8 → same; 6↔9
- Symbols: +,-,*,= → same; /↔\
