Solution: Stream of Characters
Explore how to build a StreamChecker class that processes streams of characters and detects if any suffix matches words in a list. Understand how reversing words and using a Trie enables efficient suffix matching. Implement query methods to handle dynamic streams and optimize for time and space complexity through code walkthroughs.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Design a data structure that processes a stream of characters and, after each character is received, determines if a suffix of these characters is a string in a given array of strings words.
For example, if words = ["dog"] and the stream adds the characters
So, for words, the goal is to detect if any of these words appear as a suffix of the stream built so far. To accomplish this, implement a class StreamChecker:
Constructor: Initializes the object with the list of target
words.boolean query(char letter): Appends a character to the stream and returns TRUE if any suffix of the stream matches a word in the list
words.
Constraints:
words.length...
