https://leetcode.com/problems/single-row-keyboard
Description
There is a special keyboard with all keys in a single row.
Given a string keyboard
of length 26
indicating the layout of the keyboard (indexed from 0
to 25
). Initially, your finger is at index 0
. To type a character, you have to move your finger to the index of the desired character. The time taken to move your finger from index i
to index j
is |i - j|
.
You want to type a string word
. Write a function to calculate how much time it takes to type it with one finger.
Example 1:
**Input:** keyboard = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", word = "cba"
**Output:** 4
**Explanation:** The index moves from 0 to 2 to write 'c' then to 1 to write 'b' then to 0 again to write 'a'.
Total time = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4.
Example 2:
**Input:** keyboard = "pqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmno", word = "leetcode"
**Output:** 73
Constraints:
keyboard.length == 26
keyboard
contains each English lowercase letter exactly once in some order.1 <= word.length <= 104
word[i]
is an English lowercase letter.
