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.
简单题,只需判断magazine里是否包含ransom note。对于26个字母不需要使用hash map,直接用一个数组即可。
public class Solution { public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) { int[] magazineCount = new int[26]; for (int i = 0; i < magazine.length(); i++) { magazineCount[magazine.charAt(i) - 'a']++; } for (int i = 0; i < ransomNote.length(); i++) { if (--magazineCount[ransomNote.charAt(i) - 'a'] < 0) { return false; } } return true; } }
