Sherlock considers a string to be valid if all characters of the string appear the same number of times. It is also valid if he can remove just character at index in the string, and the remaining characters will occur the same number of times. Given a string , determine if it is valid.
For example, if , it is a valid string because frequencies are . So is because we can remove one and have of each character in the remaining string. If however, the string is not valid as we can only remove occurrence of . That would leave character frequencies of .
Input Format
A single string .
Constraints
- Each character
Output Format
Print YES
if string is valid, otherwise, print NO
.
Sample Input 0
aabbcd
Sample Output 0
NO
Explanation 0
Given , we would need to remove two characters, both c
and d
aabb
or a
and b
abcd
, to make it valid. We are limited to removing only one character, so is invalid.
Sample Input 1
aabbccddeefghi
Sample Output 1
NO
Explanation 1
Frequency counts for the letters are as follows:
{'a': 2, 'b': 2, 'c': 2, 'd': 2, 'e': 2, 'f': 1, 'g': 1, 'h': 1, 'i': 1}
There are two ways to make the valid string:
- Remove characters with a frequency of : .
- Remove characters of frequency : .
Neither of these is an option.
Sample Input 2
abcdefghhgfedecba
Sample Output 2
YES
Explanation 2
All characters occur twice except for which occurs times. We can delete one instance of to have a valid string.
아!!!! 문제가 쉬운듯 하면서 상당히 까다롭다!
이것저것 따져야 할 것이 많다.!
앞문자, 앞앞문자의 연속성 체크!!!
Discussion에는 대부분 JAVA의 얘기만 가득한데......Github의 c++ 풀이를 보면서 로직을 이해해봤다.
처음 내가 작성한 코드는 Run Code는 넘어가지만, 테스트 케이스를 넘어가지 못한다. 뭔가 머리로의 이해의 한계에 왔다고나 할까. ㅠ
정말 Medium 레벨의 문제들은 은근 까다롭고 생각을 오래 할 수록 더 꼬여만 간다.
내가 작성한 코드다. (실패코드)
이게 성공한 코드이다.
