给出一个字符串数组 words
组成的一本英语词典。返回 words
中最长的一个单词,该单词是由 words
词典中其他单词逐步添加一个字母组成。
若其中有多个可行的答案,则返回答案中字典序最小的单词。若无答案,则返回空字符串。
示例 1:
输入:words = ["w","wo","wor","worl", "world"] 输出:"world" 解释: 单词"world"可由"w", "wo", "wor", 和 "worl"逐步添加一个字母组成。
示例 2:
输入:words = ["a", "banana", "app", "appl", "ap", "apply", "apple"] 输出:"apple" 解释:"apply" 和 "apple" 都能由词典中的单词组成。但是 "apple" 的字典序小于 "apply"
提示:
1 <= words.length <= 1000
1 <= words[i].length <= 30
- 所有输入的字符串
words[i]
都只包含小写字母。
方法一:哈希表
用哈希表存放所有单词。遍历这些单词,找出长度最长且字典序最小的单词。
方法二:排序
优先返回符合条件、长度最长且字典序最小的单词,那么可以进行依照该规则,先对 words
进行排序,免去多个结果之间的比较。
