2399. Check Distances Between Same Letters ¶
Problem
You are given a 0-indexed string s
consisting of only lowercase English letters, where each letter in s
appears exactly twice. You are also given a 0-indexed integer array distance
of length 26
.
Each letter in the alphabet is numbered from 0
to 25
(i.e. 'a' -> 0
, 'b' -> 1
, 'c' -> 2
, ... , 'z' -> 25
).
In a well-spaced string, the number of letters between the two occurrences of the ith
letter is distance[i]
. If the ith
letter does not appear in s
, then distance[i]
can be ignored.
Return true
if s
is a well-spaced string, otherwise return false
.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abaccb", distance = [1,3,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] Output: true Explanation: - 'a' appears at indices 0 and 2 so it satisfies distance[0] = 1. - 'b' appears at indices 1 and 5 so it satisfies distance[1] = 3. - 'c' appears at indices 3 and 4 so it satisfies distance[2] = 0. Note that distance[3] = 5, but since 'd' does not appear in s, it can be ignored. Return true because s is a well-spaced string.
Example 2:
Input: s = "aa", distance = [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] Output: false Explanation: - 'a' appears at indices 0 and 1 so there are zero letters between them. Because distance[0] = 1, s is not a well-spaced string.
Constraints:
2 <= s.length <= 52
s
consists only of lowercase English letters.- Each letter appears in
s
exactly twice. distance.length == 26
0 <= distance[i] <= 50
