Feature #1: Store and Fetch Words
Implementing the "Store and Fetch Words" feature for our "Search Engine" project.
We'll cover the following
Description
For the first feature, your company wants you to design a module for the search engine that can be used to store and fetch words efficiently. This module will act as a dictionary with insert and search functionalities. Moreover, this dictionary should also have a feature for searching whether a given prefix exists in the dictionary or not. This feature can be represented by the startsWith function because a prefix comes at the beginning of the word.
Let’s say we insert the following words in the dictionary: the
, a
, there
, answer
, any
, by
, bye
, their
, and abc
by calling the insert_word()
function. Then, by calling the search_word()
function with input, there
should return true
. Similarly, calling the starts_with()
function with the prefix by
should also return true
.
