211. Add and Search Word - Data structure design【M】【91】

Design a data structure that supports the following two operations:

void addWord(word)
bool search(word)

search(word) can search a literal word or a regular expression string containing only letters a-z or .. A . means it can represent any one letter.

For example:

addWord("bad")
addWord("dad")
addWord("mad")
search("pad") -> false
search("bad") -> true
search(".ad") -> true
search("b..") -> true

Note:
You may assume that all words are consist of lowercase letters a-z.

You should be familiar with how a Trie works. If not, please work on this problem:  Implement Trie (Prefix Tree) first.

本来应该用trie，不过看来散列也可以

class WordDictionary(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.dic = {}
    def addWord(self, word):
        l = len(word)
        if l in self.dic.keys():
            self.dic[l].append(word)
        else:
            self.dic[l] = [word]

    def search(self, word):
        l = len(word)

        #print self.dic
        if '.' not in word:
            return (word in self.dic.get(l,[]))

        li = self.dic.get(l,[])
        for v in li:
            flag = True
            for index,c in enumerate(word):
                if c == v[index] or c == '.':
                    flag = True
                else:
                    flag = False
                    break
            if flag:
                return True
        return False
