+# [Hash Tables: Ransom Notes](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/ctci-ransom-note)
+
+- Difficulty:  `#easy`
+- Category: `#ProblemSolvingIntermediate`
+
+Harold is a kidnapper who wrote a ransom note, but now he is worried it will be
+traced back to him through his handwriting. He found a magazine and wants to
+know if he can cut out whole words from it and use them to create an untraceable
+replica of his ransom note.
+The words in his note are case-sensitive and he must use only whole words
+available in the magazine.
+He cannot use substrings or concatenation to create the words he needs.
+
+Given the words in the magazine and the words in the ransom note,
+print `Yes` if he can replicate his ransom note exactly using whole words
+from the magazine; otherwise, print `No`.
+
+## Example
+
+`magazine` = "attack at dawn"  `note` = "Attack at dawn"
+
+The magazine has all the right words, but there is a case mismatch.
+The answer is `No`.
+
+## Function Description
+
+Complete the checkMagazine function in the editor below.
+It must print `Yes` if the note can be formed using the magazine, or .
+
+checkMagazine has the following parameters:
+
+- `string magazine[m]`: the words in the magazine
+- `string note[n]`: the words in the ransom note
+
+## Prints
+
+- string: either  or , no return value is expected
+
+## Input Format
+
+The first line contains two space-separated integers, `m` and `n`,
+the numbers of words in the  and the , respectively.
+
+The second line contains `m` space-separated strings, each `magazine[i]`.
+
+The third line contains `n` space-separated strings, each `node[i]`.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- $ 1 \leq m, n \leq 30000 $
+- $ 1 \leq $ length of `magazine[i]` and `note[i]` $ \leq 5 $
+- Each word consists of English alphabetic letters (i.e., `a` to `z` and `A` to `Z`).
+
+## Sample Input 0
+
+```text
