最开始想都没想就用了set，结果肯定是不对的啊，因为集合会去重，要是有两个a，就变成一个a了

所以用字典，记录每个字母的个数

有一个小技巧，就是使用字典里面的get

还有就是检查的时候，使用try，这样就不用单独处理keyerror了

class Solution(object):
def findTheDifference(self, s, t):

dic_s = dict()
dic_t = dict()

for i in s:
dic_s[i] = dic_s.get(i,0) + 1

for i in t:
dic_t[i] = dic_t.get(i,0) + 1

for i in t:
#print i
try:
if dic_t[i] != dic_s[i]:
return i

except:
return i
