Find the Difference -- LeetCode
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.
思路:用map记录所有char出现的次数。复杂度O(N)。
