Given a string s and a dictionary of words dict, add spaces in s to construct a sentence where each word is a valid dictionary word.
Return all such possible sentences.
For example, given
s = "catsanddog",
dict = ["cat", "cats", "and", "sand", "dog"].
A solution is ["cats and dog", "cat sand dog"].
Analyse:
1. Recursion. Add one character at one time, continuously judge whether the remaining part can be found in the dictionary. If could, then add to the temporary string, if the size of temporary string is bigger than the original string, then we say the string can be segmented by the dictionary items.
