Question:
Implement a trie with insert
, search
, and startsWith
methods.
Note:
You may assume that all inputs are consist of lowercase letters a-z
.
Answer:
package algorithm;
import java.util.HashMap;
class TrieNode {
public char c;
boolean isword = false;
public HashMap<Character, TrieNode> children = new HashMap<Character, TrieNode>();
// Initialize your data structure here.
public TrieNode() {
}
public TrieNode(char c) {
this.c = c;
}
}
public class Trie {
private TrieNode root;
public Trie() {
root = new TrieNode();
}
// Inserts a word into the trie.
public void insert(String word) {
if (null == word || "".equals(word))
return;
TrieNode cur = root;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
TrieNode node = cur.children.get(c);
if (null == node) {
node = new TrieNode(c);
cur.children.put(c, node);
}
cur = node;
}
cur.isword = true;
}
// Returns if the word is in the trie.
public boolean search(String word) {
boolean flag = false;
if (null == word || "".equals(word))
return flag;
TrieNode cur = root;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
if (!cur.children.containsKey(c)) {
return flag;
} else {
cur = cur.children.get(c);
}
}
if (cur.isword)
flag = true;
return flag;
}
// Returns if there is any word in the trie
// that starts with the given prefix.
public boolean startsWith(String prefix) {
boolean flag = true;
if (null == prefix || "".equals(prefix))
return flag;
TrieNode cur = root;
for (int i = 0; i < prefix.length(); i++) {
char c = prefix.charAt(i);
if (!cur.children.containsKey(c)) {
flag = false;
} else {
cur = cur.children.get(c);
}
}
return flag;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Trie trie = new Trie();
trie.insert("hello");
System.out.println(trie.search("hell"));
System.out.println(trie.search("helloa"));
System.out.println(trie.search("hello"));
System.out.println(trie.startsWith("hell"));
System.out.println(trie.startsWith("helloa"));
System.out.println(trie.startsWith("hello"));
}
}
// Your Trie object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Trie trie = new Trie();
// trie.insert("somestring");
// trie.search("key");
