LeetCode 211 [Add and Search Word - Data structure design]

原题

设计一个包含下面两个操作的数据结构：addWord(word), search(word)
addWord(word)会在数据结构中添加一个单词。而search(word)则支持普通的单词查询或是只包含. 和a-z的简易正则表达式的查询。一个 . 可以代表一个任何的字母。

样例

addWord("bad")
addWord("dad")
addWord("mad")
search("pad")  // return false
search("bad")  // return true
search(".ad")  // return true
search("b..")  // return true

解题思路

• 本题跟Implement Trie十分相似，同样需要使用字典树
• 由于本题里中'.'可以代替任意字符，所以当某一个字符是'.'，就需要查找所有的子树，只要有一个最终能够存在，就返回True

        self.IsWord = False
