1786 Count The Number Of Consistent Strings

Count the Number of Consistent Strings image

You are given a string allowed consisting of distinct characters and an array of strings words. A string is **consistent **if all characters in the string appear in the string allowed.

Return* the number of consistent strings in the array *words.

 

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
**Input:** allowed = "ab", words = ["ad","bd","aaab","baa","badab"]
**Output:** 2
**Explanation:** Strings "aaab" and "baa" are consistent since they only contain characters 'a' and 'b'.

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5
**Input:** allowed = "abc", words = ["a","b","c","ab","ac","bc","abc"]
**Output:** 7
**Explanation:** All strings are consistent.

Example 3:

1
2
3
4
5
**Input:** allowed = "cad", words = ["cc","acd","b","ba","bac","bad","ac","d"]
**Output:** 4
**Explanation:** Strings "cc", "acd", "ac", and "d" are consistent.

 

Constraints:

1
2
3
4
5
1 <= words.length <= 104
1 <= allowed.length <= 26
1 <= words[i].length <= 10
The characters in allowed are **distinct**.
words[i] and allowed contain only lowercase English letters.
