Given two strings, determine if they are isomorphic.
Two words are called isomorphic if the letters in one word can be remapped to get the second word. Remapping a letter means replacing all occurrences of it with another letter while the ordering of the letters remains unchanged. No two letters may map to the same letter, but a letter may map to itself.
Examples:
Given 'foo', 'app'
, returns true
We can map 'f' -> 'a' and 'o' -> 'p'
Given 'bar', 'foo'
, returns false
We can’t map both 'a' and 'r'
to 'o'
Given 'turtle', 'tletur'
, returns true
We can map 't' -> 't', 'u' -> 'l', 'r' -> 'e', 'l' -> 'u', 'e' -'r'
Given 'ab', 'ca'
, returns true
We can map 'a' -> 'c', 'b' -> 'a'
public boolean is_isomorphic(String s, String t) { if(s.length() != t.length()) return false; Map<Character, Character> mapS = new HashMap<>(), mapT = new HashMap<>(); for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++) { char cs = s.charAt(i); char ct = t.charAt(i); if(!mapS.containsKey(cs)) { mapS.put(cs, ct); } else if(mapS.get(cs) != ct) { return false; } if(!mapT.containsKey(ct)) { mapT.put(ct, cs); } else if(mapT.get(ct) != cs) { return false; } } return true; }
