1704. Determine if String Halves Are Alike

You are given a string s of even length. Split this string into two halves of equal lengths, and let a be the first half and b be the second half.

Two strings are alike if they have the same number of vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'). Notice that s contains uppercase and lowercase letters.

Return true if a and b are alike. Otherwise, return false.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "book"
Output: true
Explanation: a = "bo" and b = "ok". a has 1 vowel and b has 1 vowel. Therefore, they are alike.

Example 2:

Input: s = "textbook"
Output: false
Explanation: a = "text" and b = "book". a has 1 vowel whereas b has 2. Therefore, they are not alike.
Notice that the vowel o is counted twice.

Example 3:

Input: s = "MerryChristmas"
Output: false

Example 4:

Input: s = "AbCdEfGh"
Output: true

 

Constraints:

• 2 <= s.length <= 1000
• s.length is even.
• s consists of uppercase and lowercase letters.

    public boolean halvesAreAlike(String s) {

        int fir = 0, sec = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i ++) {
            if(i < s.length() / 2) {
                fir += (st.indexOf(s.charAt(i)) >= 0 ? 1 : 0);
            }
            else sec += (st.indexOf(s.charAt(i)) >= 0 ? 1 : 0);
        }
        return fir == sec;
    }
