0288. Unique Word Abbreviation

https://leetcode.com/problems/unique-word-abbreviation

Description

The abbreviation of a word is a concatenation of its first letter, the number of characters between the first and last letter, and its last letter. If a word has only two characters, then it is an abbreviation of itself.

For example:

  • dog --> d1g because there is one letter between the first letter 'd' and the last letter 'g'.

  • internationalization --> i18n because there are 18 letters between the first letter 'i' and the last letter 'n'.

  • it --> it because any word with only two characters is an abbreviation of itself.

Implement the ValidWordAbbr class:

  • ValidWordAbbr(String[] dictionary) Initializes the object with a dictionary of words.

  • boolean isUnique(string word) Returns true if either of the following conditions are met (otherwise returns false):

    • There is no word in dictionary whose abbreviation is equal to word's abbreviation.

    • For any word in dictionary whose abbreviation is equal to word's abbreviation, that word and word are the same.

Example 1:

**Input**
["ValidWordAbbr", "isUnique", "isUnique", "isUnique", "isUnique", "isUnique"]
[[["deer", "door", "cake", "card"]], ["dear"], ["cart"], ["cane"], ["make"], ["cake"]]
**Output**
[null, false, true, false, true, true]
**Explanation**
ValidWordAbbr validWordAbbr = new ValidWordAbbr(["deer", "door", "cake", "card"]);
validWordAbbr.isUnique("dear"); // return false, dictionary word "deer" and word "dear" have the same abbreviation "d2r" but are not the same.
validWordAbbr.isUnique("cart"); // return true, no words in the dictionary have the abbreviation "c2t".
validWordAbbr.isUnique("cane"); // return false, dictionary word "cake" and word "cane" have the same abbreviation  "c2e" but are not the same.
validWordAbbr.isUnique("make"); // return true, no words in the dictionary have the abbreviation "m2e".
validWordAbbr.isUnique("cake"); // return true, because "cake" is already in the dictionary and no other word in the dictionary has "c2e" abbreviation.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= dictionary.length <= 3 * 104

  • 1 <= dictionary[i].length <= 20

  • dictionary[i] consists of lowercase English letters.

  • 1 <= word.length <= 20

  • word consists of lowercase English letters.

  • At most 5000 calls will be made to isUnique.
