Question:
Implement a trie with insert
, search
, and startsWith
methods.
Note:
You may assume that all inputs are consist of lowercase letters a-z
.
class TrieNode {
// Initialize your data structure here.
public char c;
public boolean isWord;
public Map<Character, TrieNode> children = new HashMap<Character,TrieNode>();
public TrieNode(char c){
this.c=c;
}
public TrieNode() {};
}
public class Trie {
private TrieNode root;
public Trie() {
root = new TrieNode();
}
// Inserts a word into the trie.
public void insert(String word) {
int n=word.length();
Map<Character, TrieNode> children = root.children;
for(int i=0;i<=n-1;i++)
{
TrieNode t=new TrieNode();
char c=word.charAt(i);
if(children.containsKey(c)) {
t = children.get(c);
} else {
t = new TrieNode(c);
children.put(c, t);
}
children = t.children;
if(i==word.length()-1) t.isWord=true;
}
}
// Returns if the word is in the trie.
public boolean search(String word) {
TrieNode t = searchNode(word);
return t!=null && t.isWord;
}
// Returns if there is any word in the trie
// that starts with the given prefix.
public boolean startsWith(String prefix) {
TrieNode t=searchNode(prefix);
return t!=null;
}
private TrieNode searchNode(String word){
int n=word.length();
Map<Character, TrieNode> children = root.children;
TrieNode t = null;
for(int i=0;i<=n-1;i++)
{
char c = word.charAt(i);
if(!children.containsKey(c))
return null;
t = children.get(c);
children = t.children;
}
return t;
}
}
// Your Trie object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Trie trie = new Trie();
// trie.insert("somestring");
// trie.search("key");
