Determine if String Halves Are Alike

You are given a string s of even length.

You are given a string s of even length. Split this string into two halves of equal lengths, and let a be the first half and b be the second half.

Two strings are alike if they have the same number of vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'). Notice that s contains uppercase and lowercase letters.

Return true if a and b are alike. Otherwise, return false.

Determine if String Halves Are Alike diagram

Example 1

Input: s = "book"

Output: true

Explanation: a = "bo" and b = "ok". a has 1 vowel and b has 1 vowel. Therefore, they are alike.

Example 2

Input: s = "textbook"

Output: false

Explanation: a = "text" and b = "book". a has 1 vowel whereas b has 2. Therefore, they are not alike. Notice that the vowel o is counted twice.

Constraints

  • 2 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s.length is even.
  • s consists of uppercase and lowercase letters.
