Solution: Stream of Characters

Explore how to implement a custom data structure that checks if the suffix of a character stream matches any given words. Learn to reverse words, build a Trie for suffix matching, and use a deque for dynamic stream processing to efficiently query matches.

Statement

Design a data structure that processes a stream of characters and, after each character is received, determines if a suffix of these characters is a string in a given array of strings words.

For example, if words = ["dog"] and the stream adds the characters $\text{`d', `c', `a'}$ , and $\text{`t'}$ in sequence, the algorithm should detect that the suffix "cat" of the stream "dcat" matches the word "cat" from the list.

So, for words, the goal is to detect if any of these words appear as a suffix of the stream built so far. To accomplish this, implement a class StreamChecker:

Constructor: Initializes the object with the list of target words.
boolean query(char letter): Appends a character to the stream and returns TRUE if any suffix of the stream matches a word in the list words.

Constraints:

$1\leq$ words.length $\leq 1000$
$1 \leq$ words[i].length ...
