Given two strings ransomNote and magazine, return true if ransomNote can be constructed by using the letters from magazine and false otherwise.
Each letter in magazine can only be used once in ransomNote.
Example 1:
Input: ransomNote = "a", magazine = "b"
Output: false
Example 2:
Input: ransomNote = "aa", magazine = "ab"
Output: false
Example 3:
Input: ransomNote = "aa", magazine = "aab"
Output: true
Constraints:
-
1 <= ransomNote.length, magazine.length <= 105 -
ransomNoteandmagazineconsist of lowercase English letters.
SOLUTION:
from collections import Counter
class Solution:
def canConstruct(self, ransomNote: str, magazine: str) -> bool:
ctrNote = Counter(ransomNote)
ctrMag = Counter(magazine)
for c in ctrNote:
if ctrMag[c] < ctrNote[c]:
return False
return True
