Problem: Isomorphic Strings
Explore how to use hash tables to determine if two strings are isomorphic. Learn to implement a bidirectional character mapping that ensures consistency and injectivity, enabling you to solve this problem efficiently with linear time complexity and constant space.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given two strings s and t, determine whether they are isomorphic.
Two strings are considered isomorphic if there exists a one-to-one mapping from every character in s to a character in t such that replacing each character in s according to this mapping produces t. The mapping must preserve character order. Every occurrence of a given character in s must map to the same character in t, and no two distinct characters in s may map to the same character in t. A character is allowed to map to itself.
Return TRUE if s and t are isomorphic, and FALSE otherwise.
Note: The mapping must be bijective, meaning it is both one-to-one (no two characters in
smap to the same character int) and consistent (each character insalways maps to the same character int).
