290. Word Pattern

Given a 

pattern and a string 

str, find if 

str follows the same pattern.

Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern and a non-emptyword in str.

Examples:

1. pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat dog" should return true.
2. pattern = "abba", str = "dog cat cat fish" should return false.
3. pattern = "aaaa", str = "dog cat cat dog" should return false.
4. pattern = "abba", str = "dog dog dog dog" should return false.

 

Notes:

You may assume pattern contains only lowercase letters, and str contains lowercase letters separated by a single space.

291. Word Pattern II

Problem Description:

Given a pattern and a string str, find if str follows the same pattern.

Here follow means a full match, such that there is a bijection between a letter in pattern and a non-empty substring in str.

Examples:

1. 1. pattern = "abab", str = "redblueredblue" should return true.
   2. pattern = "aaaa", str = "asdasdasdasd" should return true.
   3. pattern = "aabb", str = "xyzabcxzyabc" should return false. 

Notes:

You may assume both pattern and str contains only lowercase letters.
