## 题目描述

```
Given a string s1, we may represent it as binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.

Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great":
        great
       /     \
    gr        eat
  /    \      / \
g       r    e   at
                 / \
                a   t
```

### Approach #1

exponential complexity O(2^n)

```java
public class Solution {
    public boolean isScramble(String s1, String s2) {
        if (s1.equals(s2)) return true; 

        int[] letters = new int[26];
        for (int i=0; i<s1.length(); i++) {
            letters[s1.charAt(i)-'a']++;
            letters[s2.charAt(i)-'a']--;
        }
        for (int i=0; i<26; i++) if (letters[i]!=0) return false;

        for (int i=1; i<s1.length(); i++) {
            if (isScramble(s1.substring(0,i), s2.substring(0,i)) 
             && isScramble(s1.substring(i), s2.substring(i))) return true;
            if (isScramble(s1.substring(0,i), s2.substring(s2.length()-i)) 
             && isScramble(s1.substring(i), s2.substring(0,s2.length()-i))) return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://wentao-shao.gitbook.io/leetcode/dynamic-programming/qu-jian-xing/87.scramble-string.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
