Description

Given two strings s*** and **t*, determine if they are isomorphic.

Two strings are isomorphic if the characters in s*** can be replaced to get **t*.

All occurrences of a character must be replaced with another character while preserving the order of characters. No two characters may map to the same character but a character may map to itself.

Example 1:

Input: s = "egg", t = "add"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = "foo", t = "bar"
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: s = "paper", t = "title"
Output: true

Note: You may assume both s*** and **t* have the same length.

                if hash_t[t[i]] != s[i]:
                    return False
            else:
                hash_t[t[i]] = s[i]
        return True
