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.
class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String ransomNote, String magazine) {
if(ransomNote == null || ransomNote.length() == 0)
return true;
if(magazine == null || magazine.length() == 0)
return false;
int[] count = new int[26];
for(int i = 0; i < magazine.length(); i++)
count[magazine.charAt(i) - 'a']++;
for(int i = 0; i < ransomNote.length(); i++) {
char c = ransomNote.charAt(i);
count[c - 'a']--;
if(count[c - 'a'] < 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
