Solution: List Sort Using Trie

The solution for sorting a list of strings in lexicographical order utilizes a trie data structure, which is particularly effective for strings with common prefixes. The process involves inserting each word into the trie, followed by a recursive function that traverses the trie to collect sorted words. The time complexity is O(n), where n is the total number of characters across all words, while the space complexity is O(n + m), with m being the length of the longest word. This approach offers advantages over traditional sorting algorithms by efficiently managing string comparisons.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a list of strings as input, implement the sort_list() function, which sorts the elements of the list in lexicographical order.

Constraints:

  • 00\leq words.length 103\leq 10^3 ...
