# [953. Verifying an Alien Dictionary](https://leetcode.com/problems/verifying-an-alien-dictionary/)


## 题目

In an alien language, surprisingly they also use english lowercase letters, but possibly in a different `order`. The `order`of the alphabet is some permutation of lowercase letters.

Given a sequence of `words` written in the alien language, and the `order` of the alphabet, return `true` if and only if the given `words` are sorted lexicographicaly in this alien language.

**Example 1:**

    Input: words = ["hello","leetcode"], order = "hlabcdefgijkmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    Output: true
    Explanation: As 'h' comes before 'l' in this language, then the sequence is sorted.

**Example 2:**

    Input: words = ["word","world","row"], order = "worldabcefghijkmnpqstuvxyz"
    Output: false
    Explanation: As 'd' comes after 'l' in this language, then words[0] > words[1], hence the sequence is unsorted.

**Example 3:**

    Input: words = ["apple","app"], order = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    Output: false
    Explanation: The first three characters "app" match, and the second string is shorter (in size.) According to lexicographical rules "apple" > "app", because 'l' > '∅', where '∅' is defined as the blank character which is less than any other character (More info).

**Note:**

1. `1 <= words.length <= 100`
2. `1 <= words[i].length <= 20`
3. `order.length == 26`
4. All characters in `words[i]` and `order` are english lowercase letters.


## 题目大意

某种外星语也使用英文小写字母，但可能顺序 order 不同。字母表的顺序（order）是一些小写字母的排列。给定一组用外星语书写的单词 words，以及其字母表的顺序 order，只有当给定的单词在这种外星语中按字典序排列时，返回 true；否则，返回 false。



## 解题思路


- 这一题是简单题。给出一个字符串数组，判断把字符串数组里面字符串是否是按照 order 的排序排列的。order 是给出个一个字符串排序。这道题的解法是把 26 个字母的顺序先存在 map 中，然后依次遍历判断字符串数组里面字符串的大小。
