String Processing in Python: Is Palindrome Permutation

In this video, we will be considering how to determine if a string is a palindrome permutation. Specifically:

Given a string, we wish to write a function to determine if it is a permutation of a palindrome.

Recall:

Palindrome: A word or phrase that is the same forwards and backward.

Permutation: A rearrangement of letters.The palindrome does not need to be limited to just dictionary words.

This video is part of a series on string processing and, specifically, on how these problems tend to show up in the context of a technical interview:

This video is also part of an "Algorithm" series. For more algorithm tutorials:

Do you like the development environment I'm using in this video? It's a customized version of vim that's enhanced for Python development. If you want to see how I set up my vim, I have a series on this here:

def intersect_sorted_array(A, B):
A = sorted(set(A))
B = sorted(set(B))
common = []
for i in A:
for j in B:
if i==j:
common.append(i)
return common
