  "task_description": "You are given a **0-indexed** string `s` consisting of only lowercase English letters, where each letter in `s` appears **exactly** **twice**. You are also given a **0-indexed** integer array `distance` of length `26`. Each letter in the alphabet is numbered from `0` to `25` (i.e. `'a' -> 0`, `'b' -> 1`, `'c' -> 2`, ... , `'z' -> 25`). In a **well-spaced** string, the number of letters between the two occurrences of the `ith` letter is `distance[i]`. If the `ith` letter does not appear in `s`, then `distance[i]` can be **ignored**. Return `true`_ if _`s`_ is a **well-spaced** string, otherwise return _`false`. **Example 1:** ``` **Input:** s = \"abaccb\", distance = [1,3,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] **Output:** true **Explanation:** - 'a' appears at indices 0 and 2 so it satisfies distance[0] = 1. - 'b' appears at indices 1 and 5 so it satisfies distance[1] = 3. - 'c' appears at indices 3 and 4 so it satisfies distance[2] = 0. Note that distance[3] = 5, but since 'd' does not appear in s, it can be ignored. Return true because s is a well-spaced string. ``` **Example 2:** ``` **Input:** s = \"aa\", distance = [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] **Output:** false **Explanation:** - 'a' appears at indices 0 and 1 so there are zero letters between them. Because distance[0] = 1, s is not a well-spaced string. ``` **Constraints:** `2 <= s.length <= 52` `s` consists only of lowercase English letters. Each letter appears in `s` exactly twice. `distance.length == 26` `0 <= distance[i] <= 50`",
