Structure of a Trie

Explore the structure of a trie and its implementation in C#. Understand how trie nodes represent alphabets, manage children pointers, and mark word endings. This lesson helps you develop a trie class in C# to efficiently store and search English words.

We'll cover the following...

Introduction

In this lesson, you will take a look at the basic structure of a trie, and then build a class in C# based on what you have studied.

g t t o o t->o h h t->h p p o->p u u h->u e e h->e s s u->s i i e->i r r i->r Root Root Root->t
Trie containing "top," "thus," and "their."

The trie node class

The node of a trie represents an alphabet. For example, if you want to insert “hello” in the trie, you will need to add 5 nodes; one for each alphabet. A typical node in a trie consists of three data members: ...
