An abbreviation of a word follows the form <first letter><number><last letter>. Below are some examples of word abbreviations:
a) it --> it (no abbreviation) 1 b) d|o|g --> d1g 1 1 1 1---5----0----5--8 c) i|nternationalizatio|n --> i18n 1 1---5----0 d) l|ocalizatio|n --> l10n
Assume you have a dictionary and given a word, find whether its abbreviation is unique in the dictionary. A word's abbreviation is unique if no other word from the dictionary has the same abbreviation.
Example:
Given dictionary = [ "deer", "door", "cake", "card" ] isUnique("dear") ->false
isUnique("cart") ->true
isUnique("cane") ->false
isUnique("make") ->true
[CODE]
public class ValidWordAbbr { Map<String, Set<String> > map = new HashMap<>(); public ValidWordAbbr(String[] dictionary) { for(int i=0; i<dictionary.length; i++) { String s = dictionary[i]; if(s.length() > 2 ) { s = s.charAt(0) + Integer.toString(s.length()-2) + s.charAt(s.length()-1); } if(map.containsKey(s) ) { map.get(s).add(dictionary[i]); } else { Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>(); set.add(dictionary[i]); map.put(s, set); } } } public boolean isUnique(String word) { //input check String s = word; if(s.length() > 2 ) { s = s.charAt(0) + Integer.toString(s.length()-2) + s.charAt(s.length()-1); } if(!map.containsKey(s)) return true; else return map.get(s).contains(word) && map.get(s).size()<=1; } } // Your ValidWordAbbr object will be instantiated and called as such: // ValidWordAbbr vwa = new ValidWordAbbr(dictionary); // vwa.isUnique("Word"); // vwa.isUnique("anotherWord");
