/*
Given an arbitrary ransom note string and another string containing letters from all the magazines,
write a function that will return true if the ransom note can be constructed from the magazines ;
otherwise, it will return false.
Each letter in the magazine string can only be used once in your ransom note.
Example 1:
Input: ransomNote = "a", magazine = "b"
Output: false
Example 2:
Input: ransomNote = "aa", magazine = "ab"
Output: false
Example 3:
Input: ransomNote = "aa", magazine = "aab"
Output: true
