题目描述:
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
思路:
class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) {
int[] buckets = new int[26];
for (int i = 0; i < magazine.length(); i++)
buckets[magazine.charAt(i) - 'a']++;
for (int i = 0; i < ransomNote.length(); i++)
if (--buckets[ransomNote.charAt(i) - 'a'] < 0)
return false;
return true;
}
}
利用HashMap
class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) {
HashMap<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (char c : magazine.toCharArray())
{
if (map.containsKey(c))
map.put(c, map.get(c) + 1);
else
map.put(c, 1);
}
for (char c : ransomNote.toCharArray())
{
if (map.containsKey(c))
map.put(c, map.get(c) - 1);
else
map.put(c, -1);
if (map.get(c) < 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
