Given a string S, we can transform every letter individually to be lowercase or uppercase to create another string. Return a list of all possible strings we could create.
`
Examples:
Input: S = “a1b2”
Output: [“a1b2”, “a1B2”, “A1b2”, “A1B2”]

Input: S = “3z4”
Output: [“3z4”, “3Z4”]

Input: S = “12345”
Output: [“12345”]
`
abc
abc Abc 0
abc aBc Abc ABc 1

abc abC aBc aBC Abc AbC ABc ABC 2

Let’s go!

// BFS solution
    public static List<String> letterCasePermutation(String S) {
//      Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
        LinkedList<String> list = new LinkedList<>();
        char[] chars = S.toCharArray();
        list.add(S);
        for (int i = 0; i < S.length(); i++) {
            if (Character.isDigit(S.charAt(i))) {
                continue;
            }
            int size = list.size();
            for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
                String cur = list.get(j);
                char[] temp = cur.toCharArray();
                temp[i] = Character.toLowerCase(temp[i]);
                list.addLast(String.valueOf(temp));
                temp[i] = Character.toUpperCase(temp[i]);
                list.addLast(String.valueOf(temp));
            }
        }
        Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list);
        return new LinkedList<>(set);
    }

    // DFS solution
      public static List<String> letterCasePermutation2(String S) {
          if (S == null) {
              return new LinkedList<>();
          }
          List<String> res = new LinkedList<>();
          helper(S,res,0);
          return res;
      }

    private static void helper(String s, List<String> res, int pos) {
        if (pos == s.length()) {
            res.add(s);
            return;
        }
        // 是数字
        if (s.charAt(pos) >= '0' && s.charAt(pos) <= '9') {
            helper(s, res, pos + 1);
            return;
        }
        char[] chs = s.toCharArray();
        chs[pos] = Character.toLowerCase(chs[pos]);
        helper(String.valueOf(chs), res, pos + 1);

        chs[pos] = Character.toUpperCase(chs[pos]);
        helper(String.valueOf(chs), res, pos + 1);
    }
