389. Find the Difference
Easy
You are given two strings
s and t.String
t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random position.Return the letter that was added to
t.Example 1:
Input: s = "abcd", t = "abcde"
Output:
"e"
Explanation:
'e' is the letter that was added.
Example 2:
Input: s = "", t = "y"
Output:
"y"
Constraints:
0 <= s.length <= 1000t.length == s.length + 1sandtconsist of lowercase English letters.
