Description

You are given a string s of even length. Divide it into two equal halves a and b. Two strings are alike if they contain the same total number of vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'). Return true if a and b are alike, otherwise return false.

Example 1:

Input: s = "book"

Output: true

Explanation: a = "bo" and b = "ok". a has 1 vowel and b has 1 vowel. Therefore, they are alike.

Example 2:

Input: s = "textbook"

Output: false

Explanation: a = "text" and b = "book". a has 1 vowel whereas b has 2. Therefore, they are not alike.

Notice that the vowel o is counted twice.
