1858. Longest Word With All Prefixes

Description

Given an array of strings words, find the longest string in words such that every prefix of it is also in words.

For example, let words = ["a", "app", "ap"]. The string "app" has prefixes "ap" and "a", all of which are in words.

Return the string described above. If there is more than one string with the same length, return the lexicographically smallest one, and if no string exists, return "".

Example 1:

Input: words = ["k","ki","kir","kira", "kiran"]
Output: "kiran"
Explanation: "kiran" has prefixes "kira", "kir", "ki", and "k", and all of them appear in words.

Example 2:

Input: words = ["a", "banana", "app", "appl", "ap", "apply", "apple"]
Output: "apple"
Explanation: Both "apple" and "apply" have all their prefixes in words.
However, "apple" is lexicographically smaller, so we return that.

Example 3:

Input: words = ["abc", "bc", "ab", "qwe"]
Output: ""

Constraints:

1 <= words.length <= 10⁵
1 <= words[i].length <= 10⁵
1 <= sum(words[i].length) <= 10⁵

Solutions

Solution 1: Trie

We define a trie, each node of the trie has two attributes, one is a children array of length $26$, and the other is a isEnd flag indicating whether it is the end of a word.

We traverse words, for each word w, we start traversing from the root node. If the current node’s children array does not contain the first character of w, we create a new node, then continue to traverse the next character of w, until we finish traversing w, we mark the isEnd of the current node as true.

Next, we traverse words, for each word w, we start traversing from the root node. If the isEnd field of the current node’s children array is false, it means that some prefix of w is not in words, we return false. Otherwise, we continue to traverse the next character of w, until we finish traversing w, we return true.

The time complexity is $O(\sum_{w \in words}

)$, and the space complexity is $O(\sum_{w \in words}

)$.
