# LC 2828. Check if a String Is an Acronym of Words ### [Problem link](https://leetcode.com/problems/check-if-a-string-is-an-acronym-of-words/) ###### tags: `leedcode` `python` `easy` Given an array of strings <code>words</code> and a string <code>s</code>, determine if <code>s</code> is an **acronym** of words. The string <code>s</code> is considered an acronym of <code>words</code> if it can be formed by concatenating the **first** character of each string in <code>words</code> **in order** . For example, <code>"ab"</code> can be formed from <code>["apple", "banana"]</code>, but it can't be formed from <code>["bear", "aardvark"]</code>. Return <code>true</code> if <code>s</code> is an acronym of <code>words</code>, and <code>false</code> otherwise. **Example 1:** ``` Input: words = ["alice","bob","charlie"], s = "abc" Output: true Explanation: The first character in the words "alice", "bob", and "charlie" are 'a', 'b', and 'c', respectively. Hence, s = "abc" is the acronym. ``` **Example 2:** ``` Input: words = ["an","apple"], s = "a" Output: false Explanation: The first character in the words "an" and "apple" are 'a' and 'a', respectively. The acronym formed by concatenating these characters is "aa". Hence, s = "a" is not the acronym. ``` **Example 3:** ``` Input: words = ["never","gonna","give","up","on","you"], s = "ngguoy" Output: true Explanation: By concatenating the first character of the words in the array, we get the string "ngguoy". Hence, s = "ngguoy" is the acronym. ``` **Constraints:** - <code>1 <= words.length <= 100</code> - <code>1 <= words[i].length <= 10</code> - <code>1 <= s.length <= 100</code> - <code>words[i]</code> and <code>s</code> consist of lowercase English letters. ## Solution 1 ```python= class Solution: def isAcronym(self, words: List[str], s: str) -> bool: res = [] for word in words: res.append(word[0]) return ''.join(res) == s ``` >### Complexity >n = words.length >| | Time Complexity | Space Complexity | >| ----------- | --------------- | ---------------- | >| Solution 1 | O(n) | O(n) | ## Note x
