# 1657. Determine if Two Strings Are Close

<https://leetcode.com/problems/determine-if-two-strings-are-close>

## Description

Two strings are considered **close** if you can attain one from the other using the following operations:

* Operation 1: Swap any two **existing** characters.
  * For example, `abcde -> aecdb`
* Operation 2: Transform **every** occurrence of one **existing** character into another **existing** character, and do the same with the other character.
  * For example, `aacabb -> bbcbaa` (all `a`'s turn into `b`'s, and all `b`'s turn into `a`'s)

You can use the operations on either string as many times as necessary.

Given two strings, `word1` and `word2`, return `true` *if* `word1` *and* `word2` *are **close**, and* `false` *otherwise.*

**Example 1:**

```
**Input:** word1 = "abc", word2 = "bca"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** You can attain word2 from word1 in 2 operations.
Apply Operation 1: "abc" -> "acb"
Apply Operation 1: "acb" -> "bca"
```

**Example 2:**

```
**Input:** word1 = "a", word2 = "aa"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** It is impossible to attain word2 from word1, or vice versa, in any number of operations.
```

**Example 3:**

```
**Input:** word1 = "cabbba", word2 = "abbccc"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** You can attain word2 from word1 in 3 operations.
Apply Operation 1: "cabbba" -> "caabbb"
Apply Operation 2: "caabbb" -> "baaccc"
Apply Operation 2: "baaccc" -> "abbccc"
```

**Example 4:**

```
**Input:** word1 = "cabbba", word2 = "aabbss"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** It is impossible to attain word2 from word1, or vice versa, in any amount of operations.
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 105`
* `word1` and `word2` contain only lowercase English letters.
