public final class Solution648 - Replace Words\.
Medium
In English, we have a concept called root , which can be followed by some other word to form another longer word - let's call this word successor. For example, when the root
"an"is followed by the successor word"other", we can form a new word"another".Given a
dictionaryconsisting of many roots and asentenceconsisting of words separated by spaces, replace all the successors in the sentence with the root forming it. If a successor can be replaced by more than one root , replace it with the root that has the shortest length.Return the
sentenceafter the replacement.Example 1:
Input: dictionary = "cat","bat","rat", sentence = "the cattle was rattled by the battery"
Output: "the cat was rat by the bat"
Example 2:
Input: dictionary = "a","b","c", sentence = "aadsfasf absbs bbab cadsfafs"
Output: "a a b c"
Constraints:
1 <= dictionary.length <= 10001 <= dictionary[i].length <= 100dictionary[i]consists of only lower-case letters.<code>1 <= sentence.length <= 10<sup>6</sup></code>
sentenceconsists of only lower-case letters and spaces.The number of words in
sentenceis in the range[1, 1000]The length of each word in
sentenceis in the range[1, 1000]Every two consecutive words in
sentencewill be separated by exactly one space.sentencedoes not have leading or trailing spaces.
