Construct K Palindrome Strings
Given a string s
and an integer k
. You should construct k
non-empty palindrome strings using all the characters in s
.
Return True if you can use all the characters in s
to construct k
palindrome strings or False otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: s = "annabelle", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: You can construct two palindromes using all characters in s.
Some possible constructions "anna" + "elble", "anbna" + "elle", "anellena" + "b"
Example 2:
Input: s = "leetcode", k = 3
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to construct 3 palindromes using all the characters of s.
Example 3:
Input: s = "true", k = 4
Output: true
Explanation: The only possible solution is to put each character in a separate string.
Example 4:
Input: s = "yzyzyzyzyzyzyzy", k = 2
Output: true
Explanation: Simply you can put all z's in one string and all y's in the other string. Both strings will be palindrome.
Example 5:
Input: s = "cr", k = 7
Output: false
Explanation: We don't have enough characters in s to construct 7 palindromes.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 10^5
All characters in
s
are lower-case English letters.1 <= k <= 10^5
class Solution {
public boolean canConstruct(String s, int k) {
int[] count = new int[26];
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i) {
++count[s.charAt(i) - 'a'];
}
int oddNum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 26; ++i) {
oddNum += count[i] % 2;
}
return oddNum <= k && k <= s.length();
}
}
