# Isogram

## Introduction

Determine if a word or phrase is an isogram.

An isogram (also known as a "nonpattern word") is a word or phrase without a repeating letter, however spaces and hyphens are allowed to appear multiple times.

Examples of isograms:

* lumberjacks
* background
* downstream
* six-year-old

The word *isograms*, however, is not an isogram, because the s repeats.

### Running the tests

To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory.

If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `--bench`and `--benchmem` flags:

```
go test -v --bench . --benchmem
```

Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.

```go
package isogram

import "strings"

func noSpaceorHyphens(s string) string {
	rep := strings.NewReplacer(" ", "", "-", "")
	return rep.Replace(s)
}

// IsIsogram is a function to check string duplicate
func IsIsogram(input string) bool {
	input = noSpaceorHyphens(input)
	input = strings.ToLower(input)
	temp := map[string]struct{}{}
	for _, r := range input {
		if _, ok := temp[string(r)]; !ok {
			temp[string(r)] = struct{}{}
		} else {
			return false
		}
	}
	return true
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Point

* Use the feature of Map&#x20;

```go
i, ok := m["route"]
```

In this statement, the first value (`i`) is assigned the value stored under the key `"route"`. If that key doesn't exist, `i` is the value type's zero value (`0`). The second value (`ok`) is a `bool` that is `true` if the key exists in the map, and `false` if not.
