Isomorphic Strings

Given two strings s and t, determine if they are isomorphic.

Two strings s and t are isomorphic if the characters in s can be replaced to get t.

All occurrences of a character must be replaced with another character while preserving the order of characters. No two characters may map to the same character, but a character may map to itself.

Example 1:

Input: s = "egg", t = "add"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = "foo", t = "bar"
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: s = "paper", t = "title"
Output: true

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 104
  • t.length == s.length
  • s and t consist of any valid ascii character.

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def isIsomorphic(self, s: str, t: str) -> bool:
        smap = {}
        tmap = {}
        slist = []
        tlist = []
        i = 0
        for c in s:
            if c not in smap:
                smap[c] = i
                i += 1
            slist.append(smap[c])
        i = 0
        for c in t:
            if c not in tmap:
                tmap[c] = i
                i += 1
            tlist.append(tmap[c])
        return slist == tlist
