Problem:
Given a string, determine if a permutation of the string could form a palindrome.
For example,
"code"
-> False, "aab"
-> True, "carerac"
-> True.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// Given a string, determine if a permutation of the string could form a palindrome.
// Think: if the string can form a palindrome, it can either has length 1/0 or
// The frequency of the indivial characters should be even with at most 1 exception.
bool canPermutePalindrome(string s) {
if(s.size() <= 1) return true;
unordered_map<char, int> charToCount;
for(int i = 0; i < s.size(); ++i) {
auto iter = charToCount.find(s[i]);
if(iter == charToCount.end()) {
charToCount.insert({s[i], 1});
} else {
iter->second++;
}
}
int count = 0;
for(auto iter = charToCount.begin(); iter != charToCount.end(); ++iter) {
if(iter->second % 2) count++;
}
return count <= 1;
}
int main(void) {
cout << canPermutePalindrome("abc") << endl;
cout << canPermutePalindrome("aab") << endl;
}
