Ransom Note
Explore how to solve the ransom note problem by tracking character frequencies efficiently. Understand how to verify if one string can be constructed from another, and learn an optimal approach that runs in linear time and constant space, strengthening your grasp of frequency-based solutions in coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given two strings, ransomNote and magazine, check if ransomNote can be constructed using the letters from magazine. Return TRUE if it can be constructed, FALSE otherwise.
Note: A ransom note is a written message that can be constructed by using the letters available in the given magazine. The magazine can have multiple instances of the same letter. Each instance of the letter in the magazine can only be used once to construct the ransom note.
