[Solved] International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows: ‘a’ maps to “.-“, ‘b’ maps to “-…”,

Question

International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows:

• 'a' maps to ".-",
• 'b' maps to "-...",
• 'c' maps to "-.-.", and so on.

For convenience, the full table for the 26 letters of the English alphabet is given below:

[".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."]

Given an array of strings words where each word can be written as a concatenation of the Morse code of each letter.

• For example, "cab" can be written as "-.-..--...", which is the concatenation of "-.-.", ".-", and "-...". We will call such a concatenation the transformation of a word.

Return the number of different transformations among all words we have.

Example 1:

Input: words = ["gin","zen","gig","msg"]
Output: 2
Explanation: The transformation of each word is:
"gin" -> "--...-."
"zen" -> "--...-."
"gig" -> "--...--."
"msg" -> "--...--."
There are 2 different transformations: "--...-." and "--...--.".

Example 2:

Input: words = ["a"]
Output: 1

Constraints:

• 1 <= words.length <= 100
• 1 <= words[i].length <= 12
• words[i] consists of lowercase English letters.

Python Solution

    def uniqueMorseRepresentations(self, words: List[str]) -> int:
        codes =[".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."]
        for i in range(len(words)):
            k=''
            for w in words[i]:
                k = k + codes[ord(w)-97]
            words[i]=k

        return( len(set(words)))
