1704. Determine if String Halves Are Alike

2024-01-12 1 min read

題目敘述

You are given a string s of even length. Split this string into two halves of equal lengths, and let a be the first half and b be the second half.

Two strings are alike if they have the same number of vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'). Notice that s contains uppercase and lowercase letters.

Return true if a and b are alike. Otherwise, return false.

Example 1

Input: s = “book” Output: true Explanation: a = “bo” and b = “ok”. a has 1 vowel and b has 1 vowel. Therefore, they are alike.

Example 2

Input: s = “textbook” Output: false Explanation: a = “text” and b = “book”. a has 1 vowel whereas b has 2. Therefore, they are not alike. Notice that the vowel o is counted twice.

解題思路

Solution

class Solution {
    public boolean halvesAreAlike(String s) {
        if(s.length() % 2 != 0){
            return false;
        }

        int subLen = s.length() / 2;

        String a = s.substring(0, subLen);
        String b = s.substring(subLen, s.length());

        a = a.replaceAll("[aeiouAEIOU]", "");
        b = b.replaceAll("[aeiouAEIOU]", "");

        return a.length() == b.length();
    }
}
