2416. Sum of Prefix Scores of Strings
Description
You are given an array words
of size n
consisting of non-empty strings.
We define the score of a string term
as the number of strings words[i]
such that term
is a prefix of words[i]
.
- For example, if
words = ["a", "ab", "abc", "cab"]
, then the score of"ab"
is2
, since"ab"
is a prefix of both"ab"
and"abc"
.
Return an array answer
of size n
where answer[i]
is the sum of scores of every non-empty prefix of words[i]
.
Note that a string is considered as a prefix of itself.
Example 1:
Input: words = ["abc","ab","bc","b"] Output: [5,4,3,2] Explanation: The answer for each string is the following: - "abc" has 3 prefixes: "a", "ab", and "abc". - There are 2 strings with the prefix "a", 2 strings with the prefix "ab", and 1 string with the prefix "abc". The total is answer[0] = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5. - "ab" has 2 prefixes: "a" and "ab". - There are 2 strings with the prefix "a", and 2 strings with the prefix "ab". The total is answer[1] = 2 + 2 = 4. - "bc" has 2 prefixes: "b" and "bc". - There are 2 strings with the prefix "b", and 1 string with the prefix "bc". The total is answer[2] = 2 + 1 = 3. - "b" has 1 prefix: "b". - There are 2 strings with the prefix "b". The total is answer[3] = 2.
Example 2:
Input: words = ["abcd"] Output: [4] Explanation: "abcd" has 4 prefixes: "a", "ab", "abc", and "abcd". Each prefix has a score of one, so the total is answer[0] = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4.
Constraints:
1 <= words.length <= 1000
1 <= words[i].length <= 1000
words[i]
consists of lowercase English letters.
Solutions
Solution 1: Prefix Tree
We can use a prefix tree to maintain all prefixes of the strings and count the occurrences of each prefix.
Define the prefix tree node structure Trie
, which includes two properties:
children
: An array of length 26 used to store the current node's children.cnt
: The occurrence count of the current node.
Define two methods for the prefix tree:
insert
: Inserts a string, adding its prefixes into the prefix tree.search
: Searches for a string and returns the occurrence count of its prefixes.
We traverse all strings, inserting each string into the prefix tree. Then we traverse all strings again, calling the search
method for each string and summing up the occurrence counts of each prefix.
Time complexity is $O(L)$, and space complexity is $O(L)$, where $L$ is the total length of all strings.
