2287. Rearrange Characters to Make Target String

Leetcode Solutions

Counting Characters and Finding Minimum Ratio

  1. Initialize two dictionaries (or hash maps) to store the character frequencies of s and target respectively.
  2. Iterate over each character in s and increment its count in the corresponding frequency dictionary.
  3. Iterate over each character in target and increment its count in the corresponding frequency dictionary.
  4. Initialize a variable min_copies to a large value (e.g., infinity).
  5. Iterate over each character in target and calculate the ratio of its frequency in s to its frequency in target.
  6. Update min_copies with the minimum ratio found in the previous step.
  7. Return min_copies as the result.
