Leetcode: https://leetcode.com/problems/check-if-all-characters-have-equal-number-of-occurrences/

Problem:

Given a string s, return true if s is a good string, or false otherwise.

A string s is good if all the characters that appear in s have the same number of occurrences (i.e., the same frequency).

Example 1:

Input: s = "abacbc"
Output: true
Explanation: The characters that appear in s are 'a', 'b', and 'c'. All characters occur 2 times in s.

Example 2:

Input: s = "aaabb"
Output: false
Explanation: The characters that appear in s are 'a' and 'b'.
'a' occurs 3 times while 'b' occurs 2 times, which is not the same number of times.

Solution:

class Solution(object):
def areOccurrencesEqual(self, s):
"""
:type s: str
:rtype: bool
"""
initial_count = 0
values = {}
for i in s:
initial_count = s.count(i)
if initial_count not in values:
values[initial_count] = 1

if len(values) > 1:
return False
else:
return True
