Solution: Custom Sort String

Explore how to implement a custom string sorting solution using hash maps to count character frequencies and reorder strings based on a given custom order. Understand the approach to build and return a permutation of the input string that respects the character order constraints while optimizing for time and space complexity.

Statement

Given two strings, order and s, where all characters in order are unique and arranged in a custom order, return any permutation of s that satisfies the following condition:

The characters in the permuted s should appear in the same relative order as they do in order. Specifically, if a character x appears before a character y in order, then x must also appear before y in the permuted string.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq ...
