Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines, write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ; otherwise, it will return false.
Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.
Note:
You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.
canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true
思路:
这是LeetCode Discuss中的最热代码,它的原理就是列出了magazine的字母表,然后算出了出现个数,然后遍历ransomNote,保证有足够的字母可用,代码非常清晰。
class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) {
int[] arr = new int[26];
for (int i = 0; i < magazine.length(); i++) {
arr[magazine.charAt(i) - 'a']++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < ransomNote.length(); i++) {
if(--arr[ransomNote.charAt(i)-'a'] < 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
