# Is Isomorphic? > Given two strings s and t, determine if they are isomorphic. Two strings are isomorphic if there is a one-to-one > mapping possible for every character of the first string to every character of the second string. > > Example: > > ```javascript > > isIsomorphic('abb', 'cdd') > > true // 'a' maps to 'c' and 'b' maps to 'd' > > > isIsomorphic('cassidy', '1234567') > > false // 's' cannot have a mapping to both '3' and '4' > > > isIsomorphic('cass', '1233') > > true > ``` Problem from [rendezvous with cassidoo](https://buttondown.email/cassidoo/archive/no-matter-what-people-tell-you-words-and-ideas/) October 15th, 2023 newsletter. Solution at https://strangeobject.space/@ooze/111245359154065762 ## How to run the solution The C code needs to be compiled to an executable, so for example by running GCC: ```console gcc -Wall -o is-isomorphic is_isomorphic.c ./is-isomorphic abb cdd ``` If the arguments are _not_ isomorphic, the program prints an explanation otherwise it returns with a success error code.
