Given a pattern
and a string str
, find if str
follows the same pattern.
Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern
and a non-empty word in str
.
Examples:
- pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return true. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog cat cat fish"
should return false. - pattern =
"aaaa"
, str ="dog cat cat dog"
should return false. - pattern =
"abba"
, str ="dog dog dog dog"
should return false.
Notes:
You may assume pattern
contains only lowercase letters, and str
contains lowercase letters separated by a single space.
public class Solution {
public boolean wordPattern(String pattern, String str) {
String[] words = str.split(" ");
if (words.length != pattern.length()) {
return false;
}
HashMap<Character, String> map = new HashMap<Character, String>();
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
char c = pattern.charAt(i);
String s = map.get(c);
if (s == null) {
if (map.containsValue(words[i])) {
return false;
}
map.put(c, words[i]);
} else {
if (!s.equals(words[i])) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
}
