Here is a code in c:
#include <stdio .h>
#include <conio .h>
int isSubset(char \*a, char \*b);
int main(){
char str1\[\]="defabc";
char str2\[\]="abcfed";
if(isSubset(str1, str2)==0)
printf("\\nYes, characters in B=\[%s\] are a subset of characters in A=\[%s\]\\n",str2,str1);
}
else
{
printf("\\nNo, characters in B=\[%s\] are not a subset of characters in A=\[%s\]\\n",str2,str1);
}
getch();
return(0);
}
// Function to check if characters in "b" are a subset
// of the characters in "a"
int isSubset(char \*a, char \*b)
{
int letterPresent\[256\];
int i;
for(i=0; i<256; i++)
letterPresent\[i\]=0;
for(i=0; a\[i\]!='\\0'; i++)
letterPresent\[a\[i\]\]++;
for(i=0; b\[i\]!='\\0'; i++)
if(!letterPresent\[b\[i\]\])
return(1);
return(0);
}
same code can be achieved in java by using hashset or array of 256 char as well.
