public final class Solution2325 - Decode the Message\.
Easy
You are given the strings
keyandmessage, which represent a cipher key and a secret message, respectively. The steps to decodemessageare as follows:Use the first appearance of all 26 lowercase English letters in
keyas the order of the substitution table.Align the substitution table with the regular English alphabet.
Each letter in
messageis then substituted using the table.Spaces
' 'are transformed to themselves.
For example, given <code>key = "<ins> hap </ins>p<ins> y </ins> <ins> bo </ins>y"</code> (actual key would have at least one instance of each letter in the alphabet), we have the partial substitution table of (
'h' -> 'a','a' -> 'b','p' -> 'c','y' -> 'd','b' -> 'e','o' -> 'f').
Return the decoded message.
Example 1:
Input: key = "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", message = "vkbs bs t suepuv"
Output: "this is a secret"
Explanation: The diagram above shows the substitution table.
It is obtained by taking the first appearance of each letter in "<ins> the </ins> <ins> quick </ins> <ins> brown </ins> <ins> f </ins>o<ins> x </ins> <ins> j </ins>u<ins> mps </ins> o<ins> v </ins>er the <ins> lazy </ins> <ins> d </ins>o<ins> g </ins>".
Example 2:
Input: key = "eljuxhpwnyrdgtqkviszcfmabo", message = "zwx hnfx lqantp mnoeius ycgk vcnjrdb"
Output: "the five boxing wizards jump quickly"
Explanation: The diagram above shows the substitution table.
It is obtained by taking the first appearance of each letter in "<ins> eljuxhpwnyrdgtqkviszcfmabo </ins>".
Constraints:
26 <= key.length <= 2000keyconsists of lowercase English letters and' '.keycontains every letter in the English alphabet ('a'to'z') at least once.1 <= message.length <= 2000messageconsists of lowercase English letters and' '.
