Easy
Given two strings s
and goal
, return true
if you can swap two letters in s
so the result is equal to goal
, otherwise, return false
.
Swapping letters is defined as taking two indices i
and j
(0-indexed) such that i != j
and swapping the characters at s[i]
and s[j]
.
0
and 2
in "abcd"
results in "cbad"
.Example 1:
Input: s = “ab”, goal = “ba”
Output: true
Explanation: You can swap s[0] = ‘a’ and s[1] = ‘b’ to get “ba”, which is equal to goal.
Example 2:
Input: s = “ab”, goal = “ab”
Output: false
Explanation: The only letters you can swap are s[0] = ‘a’ and s[1] = ‘b’, which results in “ba” != goal.
Example 3:
Input: s = “aa”, goal = “aa”
Output: true
Explanation: You can swap s[0] = ‘a’ and s[1] = ‘a’ to get “aa”, which is equal to goal.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, goal.length <= 2 * 104
s
and goal
consist of lowercase letters.class Solution {
