Problem
You are given a 0-indexed string array words
.
Let's define a boolean function isPrefixAndSuffix
that takes two strings, str1
and str2
:
isPrefixAndSuffix(str1, str2)
returnstrue
ifstr1
is both a prefix and a suffix ofstr2
, andfalse
otherwise.
For example, isPrefixAndSuffix("aba", "ababa")
is true
because "aba"
is a prefix of "ababa"
and also a suffix, but isPrefixAndSuffix("abc", "abcd")
is false
.
Return an integer denoting the number of index pairs (i, j)
such that i < j
, and isPrefixAndSuffix(words[i], words[j])
is true
.
Example 1:
Input: words = ["a","aba","ababa","aa"] Output: 4 Explanation: In this example, the counted index pairs are: i = 0 and j = 1 because isPrefixAndSuffix("a", "aba") is true. i = 0 and j = 2 because isPrefixAndSuffix("a", "ababa") is true. i = 0 and j = 3 because isPrefixAndSuffix("a", "aa") is true. i = 1 and j = 2 because isPrefixAndSuffix("aba", "ababa") is true. Therefore, the answer is 4.
Example 2:
Input: words = ["pa","papa","ma","mama"] Output: 2 Explanation: In this example, the counted index pairs are: i = 0 and j = 1 because isPrefixAndSuffix("pa", "papa") is true. i = 2 and j = 3 because isPrefixAndSuffix("ma", "mama") is true. Therefore, the answer is 2.
Example 3:
Input: words = ["abab","ab"] Output: 0 Explanation: In this example, the only valid index pair is i = 0 and j = 1, and isPrefixAndSuffix("abab", "ab") is false. Therefore, the answer is 0.
Constraints:
1 <= words.length <= 50
1 <= words[i].length <= 10
words[i]
consists only of lowercase English letters.
