You are given an array of strings equations that represent relationships between variables where each string equations[i] is of length 4 and takes one of two different forms: "xi==yi" or "xi!=yi".Here, xi and yi are lowercase letters (not necessarily different) that represent one-letter variable names.

Return true if it is possible to assign integers to variable names so as to satisfy all the given equations, or false otherwise.

 

Example 1:

Input: equations = ["a==b","b!=a"]
Output: false
Explanation: If we assign say, a = 1 and b = 1, then the first equation is satisfied, but not the second.
There is no way to assign the variables to satisfy both equations.

Example 2:

Input: equations = ["b==a","a==b"]
Output: true
Explanation: We could assign a = 1 and b = 1 to satisfy both equations.

Example 3:

Input: equations = ["a==b","b==c","a==c"]
Output: true

Example 4:

Input: equations = ["a==b","b!=c","c==a"]
Output: false

Example 5:

Input: equations = ["c==c","b==d","x!=z"]
Output: true

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= equations.length <= 500
  • equations[i].length == 4
  • equations[i][0] is a lowercase letter.
  • equations[i][1] is either '=' or '!'.
  • equations[i][2] is '='.
  • equations[i][3] is a lowercase letter.
