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.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
本题还是比较两个字符串,找出多出来的一个字符,可用的方法还是比较多的,实现比较简单的有两种。
方法一,由于字符串t只比字符串s多了一个字符,那么直接用t中所有字符值的和减去字符串s中字符值的和即可:
public char findTheDifference(String s, String t) {
int ret = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
ret -= (int)s.charAt(i);
}
for (int i = 0; i < t.length(); i++) {
ret += (int)t.charAt(i);
}
return (char)ret;
}
方法二, 另外一种思路,既然字符串t只比字符串s多了一个字符,也就是说大部分字符都是相同的。那么,我们可以使用异或的方式,来找出这个不同的值:
public char findTheDifference(String s, String t) {
int ret = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
ret ^= s.charAt(i);
}
for (int i = 0; i < t.length(); i++) {
ret ^= t.charAt(i);
}
return (char)ret;
}
