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
public class Solution { public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) { int[] counter1 = new int[26]; int[] counter2 = new int[26]; char[] note = ransomNote.toCharArray(); char[] mag = magazine.toCharArray(); for(int i=0;i<ransomNote.length();i++){ counter1[note[i]-97]++; } for(int j=0;j<magazine.length();j++){ counter2[mag[j]-97]++; } for(int m=0;m<26;m++){ if(counter1[m]>counter2[m]){ return false; } } return true; } }
