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
iandjwhere0 <= 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.length2 <= n <= 105sandtargetconsist of only the digits0and1.
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).
