Counting Similar Parameterized Words
Counting Similar Parameterized Words
We define a parameterized word as a string consisting of lowercase English letters and the character '?' . For instance, a??cd
, bcd
, and ??
are parameterized words.
Two parameterized words are said to be similar if it is possible to replace the '?' characters with specific lowercase letters such that the resulting words are identical. For example, a???
and ?b?a
are similar since both can be transformed into abba
.
Given $N$ parameterized words each of length $M$, count the number of pairs of similar parameterized words.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer $N$, the number of parameterized words. Each of the following $N$ lines contains a parameterized word of length $M$.
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the number of pairs of similar parameterized words.
