Statement
You are given two strings, jewels and stones. Each character in jewels represents a stone type that is a jewel, and each character in stones represents a stone you have. Count how many characters in stones belong to the set of characters in jewels.
Note: Matching is case-sensitive, so
'a'and'A'are different types of stones.
