Description
Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.
Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.
Note
- You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.
- canConstruct(“a”, “b”) -> false
canConstruct(“aa”, “ab”) -> false
canConstruct(“aa”, “aab”) -> true
Explain
统计一个字符串各字母出现的次数,然后在另一个字符串里减即可,刚好python里有个计数的Counter
Code
class Solution(object):
def canConstruct(self, ransomNote, magazine):
"""
:type ransomNote: str
:type magazine: str
:rtype: bool
"""
import collections
return not collections.Counter(ransomNote) - collections.Counter(magazine)
