In English, we have a concept called root
, which can be followed by some other words to form another longer word - let's call this word successor
. For example, the root an
, followed by other
, which can form another word another
.
Now, given a dictionary consisting of many roots and a sentence. You need to replace all the successor
in the sentence with the root
forming it. If a successor
has many roots
can form it, replace it with the root with the shortest length.
You need to output the sentence after the replacement.
Example 1:
Input: dict = ["cat", "bat", "rat"] sentence = "the cattle was rattled by the battery" Output: "the cat was rat by the bat"
Note:
- The input will only have lower-case letters.
- 1 <= dict words number <= 1000
- 1 <= sentence words number <= 1000
- 1 <= root length <= 100
- 1 <= sentence words length <= 1000
思路:
思路很朴素,就是将句子里每一个单词从到尾求子串,如果这个子串出现在了dict里,那么就把这个单词替换掉。
string replaceWords(vector<string>& dict, string sentence) { map<string, string>mpdic; for (auto s : dict)mpdic[s] = s; vector<string>word; stringstream ss(sentence); string tmp; while (ss >> tmp)word.push_back(tmp); for (auto &str : word) { for (int i = 1; i < str.length();i++) { if (mpdic.count(str.substr(0,i))) { str = str.substr(0, i); break; } } } string ret = word[0]; for (int i = 1; i < word.size();i++)ret += " " + word[i]; return ret; }
