0648. Replace Words

https://leetcode.com/problems/replace-words

Description

In English, we have a concept called root, which can be followed by some other word to form another longer word - let's call this word successor. For example, when the root "an" is followed by the successor word "other", we can form a new word "another".

Given a dictionary consisting of many roots and a sentence consisting of words separated by spaces, replace all the successors in the sentence with the root forming it. If a successor can be replaced by more than one root, replace it with the root that has the shortest length.

Return the sentence after the replacement.

Example 1:

**Input:** dictionary = ["cat","bat","rat"], sentence = "the cattle was rattled by the battery"
**Output:** "the cat was rat by the bat"

Example 2:

**Input:** dictionary = ["a","b","c"], sentence = "aadsfasf absbs bbab cadsfafs"
**Output:** "a a b c"

Example 3:

**Input:** dictionary = ["a", "aa", "aaa", "aaaa"], sentence = "a aa a aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaaaa bbb baba ababa"
**Output:** "a a a a a a a a bbb baba a"

Example 4:

**Input:** dictionary = ["catt","cat","bat","rat"], sentence = "the cattle was rattled by the battery"
**Output:** "the cat was rat by the bat"

Example 5:

**Input:** dictionary = ["ac","ab"], sentence = "it is abnormal that this solution is accepted"
**Output:** "it is ab that this solution is ac"

Constraints:

  • 1 <= dictionary.length <= 1000

  • 1 <= dictionary[i].length <= 100

  • dictionary[i] consists of only lower-case letters.

  • 1 <= sentence.length <= 10^6

  • sentence consists of only lower-case letters and spaces.

  • The number of words in sentence is in the range [1, 1000]

  • The length of each word in sentence is in the range [1, 1000]

  • Each two consecutive words in sentence will be separated by exactly one space.

  • sentence does not have leading or trailing spaces.
