LeetCode //C - 1268. Search Suggestions System

You are given an array of strings products and a string searchWord.

Design a system that suggests at most three product names from products after each character of searchWord is typed. Suggested products should have common prefix with searchWord. If there are more than three products with a common prefix return the three lexicographically minimums products.

Return a list of lists of the suggested products after each character of searchWord is typed.

Example 1:

Input: products = ["mobile","mouse","moneypot","monitor","mousepad"], searchWord = "mouse"
Output: [["mobile","moneypot","monitor"],["mobile","moneypot","monitor"],["mouse","mousepad"],["mouse","mousepad"],["mouse","mousepad"]]
Explanation: products sorted lexicographically = ["mobile","moneypot","monitor","mouse","mousepad"].

After typing m and mo all products match and we show user ["mobile","moneypot","monitor"].

After typing mou, mous and mouse the system suggests ["mouse","mousepad"].

Example 2:

Input: products = ["havana"], searchWord = "havana"
Output: [["havana"],["havana"],["havana"],["havana"],["havana"],["havana"]]
Explanation: The only word "havana" will be always suggested while typing the search word.

Constraints:
  • 1 <= products.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= products[i].length <= 3000
  • 1 < = s u m ( p r o d u c t s [ i ] . l e n g t h ) < = 2 ∗ 1 0 4 1 <= sum(products[i].length) <= 2 * 10^4 1<=sum(products[i].length)<=2∗104
  • All the strings of products are unique.
  • products[i] consists of lowercase English letters.
  • 1 <= searchWord.length <= 1000
  • searchWord consists of lowercase English letters.

Solution:

Ideas:
  1. Sort the products lexicographically to ensure we can easily pick the top three suggestions.
  2. Iterate through each character of searchWord, building the prefix to search in the sorted products.
  3. Search for products that match the current prefix.
  4. Store up to three matches for each prefix in the result list.
  5. Allocate memory dynamically for the result and intermediate lists, making sure to follow C conventions for memory management.
Caode:
c 复制代码
int cmp(const void* a, const void* b) {
    return strcmp(*(const char**)a, *(const char**)b);
}

char*** suggestedProducts(char** products, int productsSize, char* searchWord, int* returnSize, int** returnColumnSizes) {
    // Sort the products lexicographically
    qsort(products, productsSize, sizeof(char*), cmp);
    
    // Initialize the result array and sizes
    *returnSize = strlen(searchWord);
    char*** result = (char***)malloc(*returnSize * sizeof(char**));
    *returnColumnSizes = (int*)malloc(*returnSize * sizeof(int));
    
    for (int i = 0; i < *returnSize; i++) {
        result[i] = (char**)malloc(3 * sizeof(char*)); // At most 3 suggestions
        int count = 0; // Count of suggestions for this prefix
        for (int j = 0; j < productsSize && count < 3; j++) {
            if (strncmp(products[j], searchWord, i + 1) == 0) {
                result[i][count++] = products[j];
            }
        }
        (*returnColumnSizes)[i] = count; // Set the actual number of suggestions for this prefix
    }
    
    return result;
}
