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.
刚开始很SB地去用循环扫描两个字符串。后来发现过不了,然后参考了别人的代码,恍然大悟:
char findTheDifference(char* s, char* t) {
int lent = strlen(t);
int i;
char ch = 0;
for(i = 0; i < lent; ++i) {
ch ^= s[i];
ch ^= t[i];
}
return ch;
}
举个例子:
s = "toeflgre"
t = "gerlkfoet"
ch = 0 ^ t ^ g ^ o ^ e ^ e ^ r ^ f ^ l ^ l ^ k ^ g ^ f ^ r ^ o ^ e ^ e ^ 0 ^ t
相同的字母相异或为0,所以上面最后化简的结果就是k。
