Gemstones


Problem Statement :


There is a collection of rocks where each rock has various minerals embeded in it. Each type of mineral is designated by a lowercase letter in the range ascii[ a - z ]. There may be multiple occurrences of a mineral in a rock. A mineral is called a gemstone if it occurs at least once in each of the rocks in the collection.

Given a list of minerals embedded in each of the rocks, display the number of types of gemstones in the collection.


Function Description

Complete the gemstones function in the editor below.

gemstones has the following parameter(s):

string arr[n]: an array of strings

Returns

int: the number of gemstones found


Input Format

The first line consists of an integer n, the size of arr.
Each of the next n lines contains a string arr[ i ] where each letter represents an occurence of a mineral in the current rock.

Constraints

1  <=   n  <=  100
1  <=   | arr [ i ] |   <=  100
Each composition arr[ i ] consists of only lower-case Latin letters ('a'-'z').

Sparse Arrays

There is a collection of input strings and a collection of query strings. For each query string, determine how many times it occurs in the list of input strings. Return an array of the results. Example: strings=['ab', 'ab', 'abc'] queries=['ab', 'abc', 'bc'] There are instances of 'ab', 1 of 'abc' and 0 of 'bc'. For each query, add an element to the return array, results=[2,1,0]. Fun

Array Manipulation

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array.
