Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns in Go

Word Pattern

Explore how to check if a string follows a specific pattern by ensuring a unique one-to-one correspondence between pattern characters and words. This lesson covers using hash maps to implement bijection checks, helping you understand pattern matching in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a pattern and a string, s. You need to determine whether the string s follows the same pattern.

A string s is said to follow a pattern if a bijection exists between a character in the pattern and a non-empty word in s.

  • Each character in the pattern must map to exactly one unique word in s.

  • Each word in s must map to exactly one unique character in pattern.

  • No two characters map to the same word, and no two words map to the same character.
