211. Add and Search Word - Data structure design
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.
Example:
addWord("bad")
addWord("dad")
addWord("mad")
search("pad") -> false
search("bad") -> true
search(".ad") -> true
search("b..") -> true
Constraints:
1 <= word.length <= 500
word in addWord consists lower-case English letters.
word in search consist of '.' or lower-case English letters.
At most 50000 calls will be made to addWord and search.
Algorithm
With the structure of the Trie, the only difference is that the search function needs to be rewritten, compared with Trie problem.
Because the . in this question can replace any character, once there is a ., all subtrees need to be searched. As long as one returns true, the entire search function returns true.
Typical DFS problem.
