Problem: Isomorphic Strings
Explore how to solve the isomorphic strings problem by implementing two hash tables to create a one-to-one character mapping between two strings. Understand consistency and injectivity requirements and apply this approach in C# to ensure efficient and correct solutions with linear time complexity.
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).
