题目描述:
Given two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters.
String t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random position.
Find the letter that was added in t.
Example:
Input: s = "abcd" t = "abcde" Output: e Explanation: 'e' is the letter that was added.
中文理解:给定s,t字符串,t是由s随机打乱后在任意位置添加一个字符得到的,返回添加的该字符。
解题思路:定义一个count[26]的数组,用来统计a-z每个字符的出现次数,在遍历s时,字符出现次数减1,在遍历t时,字符出现次数加1,count数组中元素值为1的下标i,返回(char)(i+'a')。
代码(java):
class Solution {
public char findTheDifference(String s, String t) {
int []count=new int[26];
int lens=s.length();
int lent=t.length();
for(int i=0;i<lens;i++){
count[s.charAt(i)-'a']--;
}
for(int i=0;i<lent;i++){
count[t.charAt(i)-'a']++;
}
for(int i=0;i<26;i++){
if(count[i]==1)return (char) ('a'+i);
}
return (char)(-1);
}
}
