- Valid Anagram
Write a method anagram(s,t) to decide if two strings are anagrams or not.
Example
Given s = “abcd”, t = “dcab”, return true.
Given s = “ab”, t = “ab”, return true.
Given s = “ab”, t = “ac”, return false.
Challenge
O(n) time, O(1) extra space
Clarification
What is Anagram?
Two strings are anagram if they can be the same after change the order of characters.
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param s: The first string
* @param t: The second string
* @return: true or false
*/
bool anagram(string &s, string &t) {
vector<int> counterS(128, 0);
vector<int> counterT(128, 0);
int lenS = s.size();
int lenT = t.size();
for (int i = 0; i < lenS; ++i) {
counterS[s[i]]++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < lenT; ++i) {
counterT[t[i]]++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 128; ++i) {
if ((counterS[i] != counterT[i])) return false;
}
return true;
}
};
