You are given a 0-indexed string s consisting of only lowercase English letters, where each letter in s appears exactly twice. You are also given a 0-indexed integer array distance of length 26.

\n\n

Each letter in the alphabet is numbered from 0 to 25 (i.e. 'a' -> 0, 'b' -> 1, 'c' -> 2, ... , 'z' -> 25).

\n\n

In a well-spaced string, the number of letters between the two occurrences of the ith letter is distance[i]. If the ith letter does not appear in s, then distance[i] can be ignored.

\n\n

Return true if s is a well-spaced string, otherwise return false.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abaccb", distance = [1,3,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]\nOutput: true\nExplanation:\n- 'a' appears at indices 0 and 2 so it satisfies distance[0] = 1.\n- 'b' appears at indices 1 and 5 so it satisfies distance[1] = 3.\n- 'c' appears at indices 3 and 4 so it satisfies distance[2] = 0.\nNote that distance[3] = 5, but since 'd' does not appear in s, it can be ignored.\nReturn true because s is a well-spaced string.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "aa", distance = [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]\nOutput: false\nExplanation:\n- 'a' appears at indices 0 and 1 so there are zero letters between them.\nBecause distance[0] = 1, s is not a well-spaced string.\n
