290. Word Pattern
Given a pattern and a string str, find if str follows the same pattern.
Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern and a non-empty word in str.
Example 1:
Input: pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: trueExample 2:
Input:pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat fish"
Output: falseExample 3:
Input: pattern = "aaaa", str = "dog cat cat dog"
Output: falseExample 4:
Input: pattern = "abba", str = "dog dog dog dog"
Output: falseNotes:
You may assume pattern contains only lowercase letters, and str contains lowercase letters that may be separated by a single space.
bool wordPattern(string pattern, string str) { // time: O(n); space: O(n)
unordered_map<char, string> char2str;
unordered_set<string> strSt;
istringstream is(str);
string cur;
int i = 0, n = pattern.size();
while (i < n && is >> cur) {
if ((char2str.count(pattern[i]) && char2str[pattern[i]] != cur) ||
!char2str.count(pattern[i]) && strSt.count(cur))
return false;
else {
char2str[pattern[i]] = cur;
strSt.insert(cur);
}
++i;
}
return i == n && !(is >> cur);
