2103 - Rings and Rods.

Easy

There are n rings and each ring is either red, green, or blue. The rings are distributed across ten rods labeled from 0 to 9.

You are given a string rings of length 2n that describes the n rings that are placed onto the rods. Every two characters in rings forms a color-position pair that is used to describe each ring where:

• The first character of the <code>i^th</code> pair denotes the <code>i^th</code> ring's color ('R', 'G', 'B').

• The second character of the <code>i^th</code> pair denotes the rod that the <code>i^th</code> ring is placed on ('0' to '9').

For example, "R3G2B1" describes n == 3 rings: a red ring placed onto the rod labeled 3, a green ring placed onto the rod labeled 2, and a blue ring placed onto the rod labeled 1.

Return the number of rods that have all three colors of rings on them.

Example 1:

Input: rings = "B0B6G0R6R0R6G9"

Output: 1

Explanation:

• The rod labeled 0 holds 3 rings with all colors: red, green, and blue.

• The rod labeled 6 holds 3 rings, but it only has red and blue.

• The rod labeled 9 holds only a green ring.

Thus, the number of rods with all three colors is 1.

Example 2:

Input: rings = "B0R0G0R9R0B0G0"

Output: 1

Explanation:

• The rod labeled 0 holds 6 rings with all colors: red, green, and blue.

• The rod labeled 9 holds only a red ring.

Thus, the number of rods with all three colors is 1.

Example 3:

Input: rings = "G4"

Output: 0

Explanation: Only one ring is given. Thus, no rods have all three colors.

Constraints:

• rings.length == 2 * n

• 1 <= n <= 100

• rings[i] where i is even is either 'R', 'G', or 'B' ( 0-indexed ).

• rings[i] where i is odd is a digit from '0' to '9' ( 0-indexed ).
