You are given an array nums
consisting of positive integers.
We call two integers x
and y
in this problem almost equal if both integers can become equal after performing the following operation at most once:
x
or y
and swap any two digits within the chosen number.Return the number of indices i
and j
in nums
where i < j
such that nums[i]
and nums[j]
are almost equal.
Note that it is allowed for an integer to have leading zeros after performing an operation.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [3,12,30,17,21]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The almost equal pairs of elements are:
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1]
Output: 10
Explanation:
Every two elements in the array are almost equal.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [123,231]
Output: 0
Explanation:
We cannot swap any two digits of 123 or 231 to reach the other.
Constraints:
2 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums[i] <= 106
