1704. Determine if String Halves Are Alike
Easy
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.
Constraints:
2 <= s.length <= 1000
s.length
is even.s
consists of uppercase and lowercase letters.
