Design a data structure that supports adding new words and finding if a string matches any previously added string.
Implement the WordDictionary
class:
WordDictionary()
Initializes the object.void addWord(word)
Addsword
to the data structure, it can be matched later.bool search(word)
Returnstrue
if there is any string in the data structure that matchesword
orfalse
otherwise.word
may contain dots'.'
where dots can be matched with any letter.
Example
Input
["WordDictionary","addWord","addWord","addWord","search","search","search","search"]
[[],["bad"],["dad"],["mad"],["pad"],["bad"],[".ad"],["b.."]]
Output
[null,null,null,null,false,true,true,true]
Explanation
WordDictionary wordDictionary = new WordDictionary();
wordDictionary.addWord("bad");
wordDictionary.addWord("dad");
wordDictionary.addWord("mad");
wordDictionary.search("pad"); // return False
wordDictionary.search("bad"); // return True
wordDictionary.search(".ad"); // return True
wordDictionary.search("b.."); // return True
Solution
var WordDictionary = function () {
//Declare a root node
this.n = {};
this.isWord = false;
return this;
};
/**
* @param {string} word
* @return {void}
*/
WordDictionary.prototype.addWord = function (word) {
//Declare a current node
let curr = this;
//Loop through the word
for (let i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
if (!curr.n[word[i]]) {
//If the current node does not have the letter, add it
curr.n[word[i]] = new WordDictionary(word[i]);
}
curr = curr.n[word[i]];
}
//Set the last node to be a word
curr.isWord = true;
};
/**
* @param {string} word
* @return {boolean}
*/
WordDictionary.prototype.search = function (word, start = 0, newCurr = null) {
let curr = this;
//If a new current node is passed in, set it to be the current node
if (newCurr != null) curr = newCurr;
for (let i = start; i < word.length; i++) {
let char = word[i];
if (char == ".") {
let letters = Object.keys(curr.n);
let res = false;
for (let letter of letters) {
//Recursively call search on each letter
res = res || this.search(word, i + 1, curr.n[letter]);
}
return res;
} else if (!curr.n[char]) {
return false;
}
//Set the current node to be the next letter
curr = curr.n[char];
}
return curr.isWord;
};
/**
* Your WordDictionary object will be instantiated and called as such:
* var obj = new WordDictionary()
* obj.addWord(word)
* var param_2 = obj.search(word)
