Problem
You are given two 0-indexed binary strings s
and target
of the same length n
. You can do the following operation on s
any number of times:
Choose two different indices
i
andj
where0 <= i, j < n
.Simultaneously, replace
s[i]
with (s[i]
ORs[j]
) ands[j]
with (s[i]
XORs[j]
).
For example, if s = "0110"
, you can choose i = 0
and j = 2
, then simultaneously replace s[0]
with (s[0]
OR s[2]
= 0
OR 1
= 1
), and s[2]
with (s[0]
XOR s[2]
= 0
XOR 1
= 1
), so we will have s = "1110"
.
Return true
**if you can make the string *s
* equal to target
, or false
otherwise**.
Example 1:
Input: s = "1010", target = "0110"
Output: true
Explanation: We can do the following operations:
- Choose i = 2 and j = 0. We have now s = "0010".
- Choose i = 2 and j = 1. We have now s = "0110".
Since we can make s equal to target, we return true.
Example 2:
Input: s = "11", target = "00"
Output: false
Explanation: It is not possible to make s equal to target with any number of operations.
Constraints:
n == s.length == target.length
2 <= n <= 105
s
andtarget
consist of only the digits0
and1
.
Solution (Java)
class Solution {
public boolean makeStringsEqual(String s, String t) {
return s.contains("1") == t.contains("1");
}
}
Explain:
nope.
Complexity:
- Time complexity : O(n).
- Space complexity : O(n).
