# [1002. Find Common Characters](https://leetcode.com/problems/find-common-characters/) ## 题目 Given an array `A` of strings made only from lowercase letters, return a list of all characters that show up in all strings within the list **(including duplicates)**. For example, if a character occurs 3 times in all strings but not 4 times, you need to include that character three times in the final answer. You may return the answer in any order. **Example 1**: Input: ["bella","label","roller"] Output: ["e","l","l"] **Example 2**: Input: ["cool","lock","cook"] Output: ["c","o"] **Note**: 1. `1 <= A.length <= 100` 2. `1 <= A[i].length <= 100` 3. `A[i][j]` is a lowercase letter ## 题目大意 给定仅有小写字母组成的字符串数组 A,返回列表中的每个字符串中都显示的全部字符(包括重复字符)组成的列表。例如,如果一个字符在每个字符串中出现 3 次,但不是 4 次,则需要在最终答案中包含该字符 3 次。你可以按任意顺序返回答案。 ## 解题思路 - 简单题。给出一个字符串数组 A,要求找出这个数组中每个字符串都包含字符,如果字符出现多次,在最终结果中也需要出现多次。这一题可以用 map 来统计每个字符串的频次,但是如果用数组统计会更快。题目中说了只有小写字母,那么用 2 个 26 位长度的数组就可以统计出来了。遍历字符串数组的过程中,不过的缩小每个字符在每个字符串中出现的频次(因为需要找所有字符串公共的字符,公共的频次肯定就是最小的频次),得到了最终公共字符的频次数组以后,按顺序输出就可以了。 ## 代码 ```go package leetcode import "math" func commonChars(A []string) []string { cnt := [26]int{} for i := range cnt { cnt[i] = math.MaxUint16 } cntInWord := [26]int{} for _, word := range A { for _, char := range []byte(word) { // compiler trick - here we will not allocate new memory cntInWord[char-'a']++ } for i := 0; i < 26; i++ { // 缩小频次,使得统计的公共频次更加准确 if cntInWord[i] < cnt[i] { cnt[i] = cntInWord[i] } } // 重置状态 for i := range cntInWord { cntInWord[i] = 0 } } result := make([]string, 0) for i := 0; i < 26; i++ { for j := 0; j < cnt[i]; j++ { result = append(result, string(i+'a')) } } return result } ```
