order
and str
are strings composed of lowercase letters. In order
, no letter occurs more than once.
order
was sorted in some custom order previously. We want to permute the characters of str
so that they match the order that order
was sorted. More specifically, if x
occurs before y
in order
, then x
should occur before y
in the returned string.
Return any permutation of str
(as a string) that satisfies this property.
Example: Input: order = "cba" str = "abcd" Output: "cbad" Explanation: "a", "b", "c" appear in order, so the order of "a", "b", "c" should be "c", "b", and "a". Since "d" does not appear in order, it can be at any position in the returned string. "dcba", "cdba", "cbda" are also valid outputs.
Note:
-
order
has length at most26
, and no character is repeated inorder
. -
str
has length at most200
. -
order
andstr
consist of lowercase letters only.
