Given two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters.
String t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random position.
Find the letter that was added in t.
example:
Input:
s = "abcd"
t = "abcde"
Output:
e
Explanation:
'e' is the letter that was added.
翻译:给你两个字符串s和t,只包含小写字母,其中t是s的随机排列,其中在任意位置还增加了一个字母,题目就是找到这个字母。
cpp
class Solution {
public:
char findTheDifference(string s, string t) {
char r=0;
for(char c:s) r ^=c;
for(char c:t) r ^=c;
return r;
}
};
首先:
1 0^1 1 = 0 1
a^b = b^a
a^a = 0
则遍历s :0^a^b^c^d 为r
再遍历t:0^a^b^c^d ^a^b^c^d^e = e
简言之
先用0异或遍历s的每个元素变成r,再用r和遍历t的每个元素,返回r即是两者不同的地方。
