3136. Valid Word

Description

A word is considered valid if:

  • It contains a minimum of 3 characters.
  • It contains only digits (0-9), and English letters (uppercase and lowercase).
  • It includes at least one vowel.
  • It includes at least one consonant.

You are given a string word.

Return true if word is valid, otherwise, return false.

Notes:

  • 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', and their uppercases are vowels.
  • A consonant is an English letter that is not a vowel.

 

Example 1:

Input: word = "234Adas"

Output: true

Explanation:

This word satisfies the conditions.

Example 2:

Input: word = "b3"

Output: false

Explanation:

The length of this word is fewer than 3, and does not have a vowel.

Example 3:

Input: word = "a3$e"

Output: false

Explanation:

This word contains a '$' character and does not have a consonant.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= word.length <= 20
  • word consists of English uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, '@', '#', and '$'.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

First, we check if the length of the string is less than 3. If it is, we return false.

Next, we iterate through the string, checking if each character is a letter or a number. If it's not, we return false. Otherwise, we check if the character is a vowel. If it is, we set has_vowel to true. If it's not, we set has_consonant to true.

Finally, if both has_vowel and has_consonant are true, we return true. Otherwise, we return false.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$. Where $n$ is the length of the string.
