299 - Bulls and Cows\.
Medium
You are playing the Bulls and Cows game with your friend.
You write down a secret number and ask your friend to guess what the number is. When your friend makes a guess, you provide a hint with the following info:
The number of "bulls", which are digits in the guess that are in the correct position.
The number of "cows", which are digits in the guess that are in your secret number but are located in the wrong position. Specifically, the non-bull digits in the guess that could be rearranged such that they become bulls.
Given the secret number
secret
and your friend's guessguess
, return the hint for your friend's guess.The hint should be formatted as
"xAyB"
, wherex
is the number of bulls andy
is the number of cows. Note that bothsecret
andguess
may contain duplicate digits.Example 1:
Input: secret = "1807", guess = "7810"
Output: "1A3B"
Explanation:
Bulls are connected with a '|' and cows are underlined: "1807" | "7810"
Example 2:
Input: secret = "1123", guess = "0111"
Output: "1A1B"
Explanation:
Bulls are connected with a '|' and cows are underlined: "1123" "1123" | or | "0111" "0111" Note that only one of the two unmatched 1s is counted as a cow since the non-bull digits can only be rearranged to allow one 1 to be a bull.
Example 3:
Input: secret = "1", guess = "0"
Output: "0A0B"
Example 4:
Input: secret = "1", guess = "1"
Output: "1A0B"
Constraints:
1 <= secret.length, guess.length <= 1000
secret.length == guess.length
secret
andguess
consist of digits only.
