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.
判断字符串的两半是否相似。
给你一个偶数长度的字符串 s 。将其拆分成长度相同的两半,前一半为 a ,后一半为 b 。
两个字符串 相似 的前提是它们都含有相同数目的元音('a','e','i','o','u','A','E','I','O','U')。注意,s 可能同时含有大写和小写字母。
如果 a 和 b 相似,返回 true ;否则,返回 false 。

思路是two pointer。用两个指针,从 input 字符串的左右两边往中间逼近,逼近的时候分别检查左指针和右指针各自统计了多少元音字母。最后判断的是左右两边的元音字母的个数是否相等。
