LeetCode: Isomorphic Strings

LeetCode: Isomorphic Strings

Given two strings s and t, determine if they are isomorphic.
Two strings are isomorphic if the characters in s can be replaced to get t. All occurrences of a character must be replaced with another character while preserving the order of characters. No two characters may map to the same character but a character may map to itself.

For example,

  • Given "egg", "add", return true.
  • Given "foo", "bar", return false. 8 Given "paper", "title", return true.
