LeetCode in Kotlin

1880. Check if Word Equals Summation of Two Words

Easy

The letter value of a letter is its position in the alphabet starting from 0 (i.e. 'a' -> 0, 'b' -> 1, 'c' -> 2, etc.).

The numerical value of some string of lowercase English letters s is the concatenation of the letter values of each letter in s, which is then converted into an integer.

You are given three strings firstWord, secondWord, and targetWord, each consisting of lowercase English letters 'a' through 'j' inclusive.

Return true if the summation of the numerical values of firstWord and secondWord equals the numerical value of targetWord, or false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: firstWord = “acb”, secondWord = “cba”, targetWord = “cdb”

Output: true

Explanation:

The numerical value of firstWord is “acb” -> “021” -> 21.

The numerical value of secondWord is “cba” -> “210” -> 210.

The numerical value of targetWord is “cdb” -> “231” -> 231.

We return true because 21 + 210 == 231.

Example 2:

Input: firstWord = “aaa”, secondWord = “a”, targetWord = “aab”

Output: false

Explanation:

The numerical value of firstWord is “aaa” -> “000” -> 0.

The numerical value of secondWord is “a” -> “0” -> 0.

The numerical value of targetWord is “aab” -> “001” -> 1.

We return false because 0 + 0 != 1.

Example 3:

Input: firstWord = “aaa”, secondWord = “a”, targetWord = “aaaa”

Output: true

Explanation:

The numerical value of firstWord is “aaa” -> “000” -> 0.

The numerical value of secondWord is “a” -> “0” -> 0.

The numerical value of targetWord is “aaaa” -> “0000” -> 0.

We return true because 0 + 0 == 0.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun isSumEqual(firstWord: String, secondWord: String, targetWord: String): Boolean {
        val sb = StringBuilder()
        val a = getSum(firstWord, sb)
        sb.setLength(0)
        val b = getSum(secondWord, sb)
        sb.setLength(0)
        val c = getSum(targetWord, sb)
        return a + b == c
    }

    private fun getSum(firstWord: String, sb: StringBuilder): Int {
        for (c in firstWord.toCharArray()) {
            sb.append(c.code - 'a'.code)
        }
        return sb.toString().toInt()
    }
