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 <= 1001 <= nums[i] <= 106NeetCodeIO
