    I reads about hash but i can`t understand the relation between hash and the problem . but , I used the array of char instead of strings and get AC http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/559/submission/13719791

    could you illustrate the relation between hash and the problem and send me your code for it .

      well if tow strings are equal then their hash is equal ! and as hash is only a number u can check it in O(1)
