389. Find the Difference - Easy

Given two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters.

String t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random position.

Find the letter that was added in t.

Example:

Input:
s = "abcd"
t = "abcde"

Output:
e

Explanation:
'e' is the letter that was added.

 

time = O(n), space = O(1)

class Solution {
    public char findTheDifference(String s, String t) {
        char c = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            c ^= s.charAt(i);
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < t.length(); i++) {
            c ^= t.charAt(i);
        }
        return c;
    }
