Problem
You are given a string s
representing a list of words. Each letter in the word has one or more options.
- If there is one option, the letter is represented as is.
- If there is more than one option, then curly braces delimit the options. For example,
"{a,b,c}"
represents options["a", "b", "c"]
.
For example, if s = "a{b,c}"
, the first character is always 'a'
, but the second character can be 'b'
or 'c'
. The original list is ["ab", "ac"]
.
Return all words that can be formed in this manner, sorted in lexicographical order.
Â
Example 1:
Input: s = "{a,b}c{d,e}f" Output: ["acdf","acef","bcdf","bcef"]
Example 2:
Input: s = "abcd" Output: ["abcd"]
Â
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 50
s
consists of curly brackets'{}'
, commasÂ','
, and lowercase English letters.s
is guaranteed to be a valid input.- There are no nested curly brackets.
- All characters inside a pair of consecutive opening and ending curly brackets are different.
