1002. Find Common Characters

Given an array A of strings made only from lowercase letters, return a list of all characters that show up in all strings within the list (including duplicates). For example, if a character occurs 3 times in all strings but not 4 times, you need to include that character three times in the final answer.

You may return the answer in any order.

Example 1:

Input: ["bella","label","roller"]
Output: ["e","l","l"]

Example 2:

Input: ["cool","lock","cook"]
Output: ["c","o"]

Note:

1 <= A.length <= 100

1 <= A[i].length <= 100

Ai is a lowercase letter

难度: easy

题目：给定字符串数组Ａ仅由小字符组成，返回所有在所有字符串中都出现过的字符，包括重复。例如，如果一个字符在所有字符串出现了3次而非4次，则返回结果中要包含3次。返回顺序不限。

思路：每个字符串一个统计表。
