893. Groups of Special-Equivalent Strings

Example 1:

Input: ["a","b","c","a","c","c"]
Output: 3
Explanation: 3 groups ["a","a"], ["b"], ["c","c","c"]
Example 2:

Input: ["aa","bb","ab","ba"]
Output: 4
Explanation: 4 groups ["aa"], ["bb"], ["ab"], ["ba"]
Example 3:

Input: ["abc","acb","bac","bca","cab","cba"]
Output: 3
Explanation: 3 groups ["abc","cba"], ["acb","bca"], ["bac","cab"]
Example 4:

Input: ["abcd","cdab","adcb","cbad"]
Output: 1
Explanation: 1 group ["abcd","cdab","adcb","cbad"]

Note:

1 <= A.length <= 1000
1 <= A[i].length <= 20
All A[i] have the same length.
All A[i] consist of only lowercase letters.

 

关键在于理解题意。奇数位置字母相同（顺序可以不同），偶数位置字母相同（顺序可以不同），即认为是special-equivalent string。
