PHONELST - Phone List |
Phone List
Given a list of phone numbers, determine if it is consistent in the sense that no number is the prefix of another. Let’s say the phone catalogue listed these numbers:
- Emergency 911
- Alice 97 625 999
- Bob 91 12 54 26
In this case, it’s not possible to call Bob, because the central would direct your call to the emergency line as soon as you had dialled the first three digits of Bob’s phone number. So this list would not be consistent.
Input
The first line of input gives a single integer, 1 <= t <= 40, the number of test cases. Each test case starts with n, the number of phone numbers, on a separate line, 1 <= n <= 10000. Then follows n lines with one unique phone number on each line. A phone number is a sequence of at most ten digits.
Output
For each test case, output “YES” if the list is consistent, or “NO” otherwise.
Example
Input: 2 3 911 97625999 91125426 5 113 12340 123440 12345 98346 Output: NO YES

Weak test cases. sorting solution must not pass. |

why even sort when a prime=150003 and a hash table can get the way. |

1.Take care while sorting! Don't just directly use inbuilt sort function over strings. 2.Sort according to length of string(that would be helpful) 3.There can be a '0' at the start of a number. Thus if you are avoiding tries and using sorting pay attention to the 0 at the start. eg. 012 is not a prefix of 12345. No need to pay attention to above points if you are using tries. |

I found python to be too slow for this problem. Solved using ditto algorithm in cpp. Got a WA due to a wild character being printed in output :| Last edit: 2017-05-01 10:28:03 |

Prefer "Trie".Checking can be done at the time of insertion. Last edit: 2017-03-28 19:24:12 |
