383. Ransom Note

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.

Note:

You may assume that both strings contain only lowercase letters.

canConstruct("a", "b") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "ab") -> false
canConstruct("aa", "aab") -> true

思路：

这是LeetCode Discuss中的最热代码，它的原理就是列出了magazine的字母表，然后算出了出现个数，然后遍历ransomNote，保证有足够的字母可用，代码非常清晰。

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