Compare Strings

Compare Strings

Compare two strings A and B, determine whether A contains all of the characters in B.

The characters in string A and B are all Upper Caseletters.

Example

For A = "ABCD", B = "ABC", return true.

For A = "ABCD" B = "AABC", return false.

Solution:

    public boolean compareStrings(String A, String B) {
        if (A == null || B == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if (A.length() < B.length()) {
            return false;
        }
        if (A.length() >= 0 && B.length() == 0) {
            return true;
        }
        boolean[] visited = new boolean[A.length()];
        for (int i = 0; i < visited.length; i++) {
            visited[i] = false;
        }
         int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < B.length(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < A.length(); j++) {
                if (B.charAt(i) == A.charAt(j) && !visited[j]) {
                    count++;
                    if (count == B.length()) {
                        return true;
                    }
                    visited[j] = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

思路：

O(n^2)遍历，consumable 用visited标志。
