Problem
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 derivative. For example, when the root "help"
is followed by the word "ful"
, we can form a derivative "helpful"
.
Given a dictionary
consisting of many roots and a sentence
consisting of words separated by spaces, replace all the derivatives in the sentence with the root forming it. If a derivative can be replaced by more than one root, replace it with the root that has the shortest length.
Return the sentence
after 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 <= 1000
1 <= dictionary[i].length <= 100
dictionary[i]
consists of only lower-case letters.1 <= sentence.length <= 106
sentence
consists of only lower-case letters and spaces.- The number of words in
sentence
is in the range[1, 1000]
- The length of each word in
sentence
is in the range[1, 1000]
- Every two consecutive words in
sentence
will be separated by exactly one space. sentence
does not have leading or trailing spaces.
