Solution: Longest Common Suffix Queries
Explore how to solve the longest common suffix queries by constructing and utilizing a reversed trie. Understand how to efficiently match suffixes by inserting words backward and tracking optimal candidates. This lesson guides you through implementing, querying, and analyzing the complexity of trie-based suffix matching to enhance your coding interview skills.
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...
