1967. Number of Strings That Appear as Substrings in Word

Level

Easy

Description

Given an array of strings patterns and a string word, return the number of strings in patterns that exist as a substring in word.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: patterns = [“a”,”abc”,”bc”,”d”], word = “abc”

Output: 3

Explanation:

  • “a” appears as a substring in “abc”.
  • “abc” appears as a substring in “abc”.
  • “bc” appears as a substring in “abc”.
  • “d” does not appear as a substring in “abc”.

3 of the strings in patterns appear as a substring in word.

Example 2:

Input: patterns = [“a”,”b”,”c”], word = “aaaaabbbbb”

Output: 2

Explanation:

  • “a” appears as a substring in “aaaaabbbbb”.
  • “b” appears as a substring in “aaaaabbbbb”.
  • “c” does not appear as a substring in “aaaaabbbbb”.

2 of the strings in patterns appear as a substring in word.

Example 3:

Input: patterns = [“a”,”a”,”a”], word = “ab”

Output: 3

Explanation: Each of the patterns appears as a substring in word “ab”.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= patterns.length <= 100
  • 1 <= patterns[i].length <= 100
  • 1 <= word.length <= 100
  • patterns[i] and word consist of lowercase English letters.

Solution

Loop over patterns and for each element in pattern, check whether it is a substring of word. Return the number of elements that are substrings of word.

  • class Solution {
    public int numOfStrings(String[] patterns, String word) {
        int count = 0;
        for (String pattern : patterns) {
            if (word.indexOf(pattern) >= 0)
                count++;
        }
        return count;
    }
}
