Leetcode2103. Rings and Rods
Easy?
There are?n
?rings and each ring is either red, green, or blue. The rings are distributed?across ten rods?labeled from?0
?to?9
.
You are given a string?rings
?of length?2n
?that describes the?n
?rings that are placed onto the rods. Every two characters in?rings
?forms a?color-position pair?that is used to describe each ring where:
The?first?character of the?
ith
?pair denotes the?ith
?ring's?color?('R'
,?'G'
,?'B'
).The?second?character of the?
ith
?pair denotes the?rod?that the?ith
?ring is placed on ('0'
?to?'9'
).
For example,?"R3G2B1"
?describes?n == 3
?rings: a red ring placed onto the rod labeled 3, a green ring placed onto the rod labeled 2, and a blue ring placed onto the rod labeled 1.
Return?the number of rods that have?all three colors?of rings on them.

Example 1:
Input: rings = "B0B6G0R6R0R6G9"Output: 1Explanation: - The rod labeled 0 holds 3 rings with all colors: red, green, and blue. - The rod labeled 6 holds 3 rings, but it only has red and blue. - The rod labeled 9 holds only a green ring. Thus, the number of rods with all three colors is 1.
Example 2:

Input: rings = "B0R0G0R9R0B0G0"Output: 1Explanation: - The rod labeled 0 holds 6 rings with all colors: red, green, and blue. - The rod labeled 9 holds only a red ring. Thus, the number of rods with all three colors is 1.
Example 3:
Input: rings = "G4"Output: 0Explanation: Only one ring is given. Thus, no rods have all three colors.

Constraints:
rings.length == 2 * n
1 <= n <= 100
rings[i]
?where?i
?is?even?is either?'R'
,?'G'
, or?'B'
?(0-indexed).rings[i]
?where?i
?is?odd?is a digit from?'0'
?to?'9'
?(0-indexed).
