Problem
Given a list of strings dict
where all the strings are of the same length.
Return true
if there are 2 strings that only differ by 1 character in the same index, otherwise return false
.
Example 1:
Input: dict = ["abcd","acbd", "aacd"] Output: true Explanation: Strings "abcd" and "aacd" differ only by one character in the index 1.
Example 2:
Input: dict = ["ab","cd","yz"] Output: false
Example 3:
Input: dict = ["abcd","cccc","abyd","abab"] Output: true
Constraints:
- The number of characters in
dict <= 105
dict[i].length == dict[j].length
dict[i]
should be unique.dict[i]
contains only lowercase English letters.
Follow up: Could you solve this problem in O(n * m)
where n is the length of dict
and m
is the length of each string.
