676 Implement Magic Dictionary

1. Question

Implement a magic directory withbuildDict, andsearchmethods.

For the methodbuildDict, you'll be given a list of non-repetitive words to build a dictionary.

For the methodsearch, you'll be given a word, and judge whether if you modify exactly one character into another character in this word, the modified word is in the dictionary you just built.

Example 1:

Input: buildDict(["hello", "leetcode"]), Output: Null
Input: search("hello"), Output: False
Input: search("hhllo"), Output: True
Input: search("hell"), Output: False
Input: search("leetcoded"), Output: False

Note:

  1. You may assume that all the inputs are consist of lowercase lettersa-z.

  2. For contest purpose, the test data is rather small by now. You could think about highly efficient algorithm after the contest.

  3. Please remember to RESET your class variables declared in class MagicDictionary, as static/class variables are

    persisted across multiple test cases. Please see here for more details.

2. Implementation

(1) HashMap

(2) Trie

3. Time & Space Complexity

HashMap: 时间复杂度O(nm), n为dict里word的数量, m是dict里word的平均长度, 空间复杂度O(nm)

Trie: 时间复杂度build: O(nm), n为dict里word的数量, m是dict里word的平均长度, search: O(n * 25^m), 空间复杂度O(nm)
