0859. Buddy Strings
https://leetcode.com/problems/buddy-strings
Description
Given two strings s
and goal
, return true
if you can swap two letters in s
so the result is equal to goal
, otherwise, return false
.
Swapping letters is defined as taking two indices i
and j
(0-indexed) such that i != j
and swapping the characters at s[i]
and s[j]
.
For example, swapping at indices
0
and2
in"abcd"
results in"cbad"
.
Example 1:
**Input:** s = "ab", goal = "ba"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** You can swap s[0] = 'a' and s[1] = 'b' to get "ba", which is equal to goal.
Example 2:
**Input:** s = "ab", goal = "ab"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** The only letters you can swap are s[0] = 'a' and s[1] = 'b', which results in "ba" != goal.
Example 3:
**Input:** s = "aa", goal = "aa"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** You can swap s[0] = 'a' and s[1] = 'a' to get "aa", which is equal to goal.
Example 4:
**Input:** s = "aaaaaaabc", goal = "aaaaaaacb"
**Output:** true
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, goal.length <= 2 * 104
s
andgoal
consist of lowercase letters.
