hi guys
i get wrong answer in this problem
and i don't know why
please if any one know or can help please share it

I tried to read your code to understand your algorithm, but I didn't recognize it, and the limited commenting you provided didn't make it much clearer.

If you run the program with the sample from the link, do you get the same output?

What other test data did you provide to the program?

Did it appear to produce the correct output?

For the input line "apple bagpipe" the process should be something like this:
Ib01 (bapple)
Cg03 (bagple)
Ci05 (bagpie)
Ip06 (bagpipe)
So the output should be:
Ib01Cg03Ci05Ip06E

Or is this more minimal?
Ib01 (bapple)
Ig03 (bagpple)
Ii05 (bagpiple)
Dl07 (bagpipe)
Ib01Ig03Ii05Dl07E

What output does your program produce?

thanks so so much i get accepted the problem was in the printchanges function
ur help is so appreciated
