804. Unique Morse Code Words

International Morse Code defines a standard encoding where each letter is mapped to a series of dots and dashes, as follows: "a" maps to ".-", "b" maps to "-...", "c" maps to "-.-.", and so on.
For convenience, the full table for the 26 letters of the English alphabet is given below:
[".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."]
Now, given a list of words, each word can be written as a concatenation of the Morse code of each letter. For example, "cba" can be written as "-.-.-....-", (which is the concatenation "-.-." + "-..." + ".-"). We'll call such a concatenation, the transformation of a word.
Return the number of different transformations among all words we have.
Example:
Input: words = ["gin", "zen", "gig", "msg"]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
The transformation of each word is:
"gin" -> "--...-."
"zen" -> "--...-."
"gig" -> "--...--."
"msg" -> "--...--."

There are 2 different transformations, "--...-." and "--...--.".

Intuition and Algorithm
We can transform each word into it's Morse Code representation.
After, we put all transformations into a set seen, and return the size of the set.


class Solution {
    public int uniqueMorseRepresentations(String[] words) {
        String[] MORSE = new String[]{".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.",
                         "....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.",
                         "---",".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-",
                         "...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."};

        Set<String> seen = new HashSet();
        for (String word: words) {
            StringBuilder code = new StringBuilder();
            for (char c: word.toCharArray())
                code.append(MORSE[c - 'a']);
            seen.add(code.toString());
        }

        return seen.size();
    }
}
