Solution: Longest Common Suffix Queries
Explore how to solve longest common suffix queries by building and querying a reversed trie. This lesson guides you through implementing a trie that stores best candidate matches for suffixes, enabling efficient retrieval of strings sharing the longest suffix. Understand the approach, time and space complexity, and practical trie applications for string management.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two arrays of strings, wordsContainer and wordsQuery.
For each string wordsQuery[i], find the string in wordsContainer that shares the longest common suffix with it.
If multiple strings in
wordsContainershare the same longest suffix, choose the one with the smallest length.If two or more such strings have the same smallest length, choose the string that appears earliest in
wordsContainer.
Return an array of integers ans, where ans[i] is the index of the chosen string in wordsContainer for the query wordsQuery[i].
Constraints:
wordsContainer.length, wordsQuery.length...
