Day 50 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #1897. Redistribute Characters to Make All Strings Equal

You are given an array of strings words (0-indexed).

In one operation, pick two distinct indices i and j, where words[i] is a non-empty string, and move any character from words[i] to any position in words[j].

Return true if you can make every string in words equal using any number of operations, and false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: words = ["abc","aabc","bc"]
Output: true
Explanation: Move the first 'a' in words[1] to the front of words[2], to make words[1] = "abc" and words[2] = "abc". 
All the strings are now equal to "abc", so return true.

Example 2:

Input: words = ["ab","a"]
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to make all the strings equal using the operation.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= words.length <= 100
  • 1 <= words[i].length <= 100
  • words[i] consists of lowercase English letters.

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    public boolean makeEqual(String[] words) {
        int[] fre = new int[26];

        for(int i=0;i<words.length;i++){
            String w = words[i];

            for(int j=0;j<w.length();j++){
                char ch = w.charAt(j);
                int idx = (int)(ch-'a');

                fre[idx]=fre[idx]+1;
            }
        }

        for(int i=0;i<26;i++){

            if(fre[i] % words.length!=0){
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true ;
    }
}
