LeetCode - Implement Trie (Prefix Tree)

10 Jan 2018 • LeetCode

Question Definition

Implement a trie with insert, search, and startsWith methods.

Note:

You may assume that all inputs are consist of lowercase letters a-z.

Java Solution

class TrieNode {
    public char val;
    public boolean isWord;
    public TrieNode[] children = new TrieNode[26];
    public TrieNode() {}
    TrieNode(char c){
        TrieNode node = new TrieNode();
        node.val = c;
    }
}

public class Trie {
    private TrieNode root;
    public Trie() {
        root = new TrieNode();
        root.val = ' ';
    }

    public void insert(String word) {
        TrieNode ws = root;
        for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++){
            char c = word.charAt(i);
            if(ws.children[c - 'a'] == null){
                ws.children[c - 'a'] = new TrieNode(c);
            }
            ws = ws.children[c - 'a'];
        }
        ws.isWord = true;
    }

    public boolean search(String word) {
        TrieNode ws = root;
        for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++){
            char c = word.charAt(i);
            if(ws.children[c - 'a'] == null) return false;
            ws = ws.children[c - 'a'];
        }
        return ws.isWord;
    }

    public boolean startsWith(String prefix) {
        TrieNode ws = root;
        for(int i = 0; i < prefix.length(); i++){
            char c = prefix.charAt(i);
            if(ws.children[c - 'a'] == null) return false;
            ws = ws.children[c - 'a'];
        }
        return true;
    }
}
