Implement Trie (Prefix Tree)

medium

A **trie** (pronounced as "try") or **prefix tree** is a tree data structure used to efficiently store and retrieve keys in a dataset of strings. There are various applications of this data structure, such as autocomplete and spellchecker.

Implement the Trie class: - `Trie()` Initializes the trie object. - `void insert(String word)` Inserts the string `word` into the trie. - `boolean search(String word)` Returns `true` if the string `word` is in the trie (i.e., was inserted before), and `false` otherwise. - `boolean startsWith(String prefix)` Returns `true` if there is a previously inserted string `word` that has the prefix `prefix`, and `false` otherwise.

Example 1
Input: ["Trie", "insert", "search", "search", "startsWith", "insert", "search"] [[], ["apple"], ["apple"], ["app"], ["app"], ["app"], ["app"]]
Output: [null, null, true, false, true, null, true]
Explanation: Trie trie = new Trie(); trie.insert("apple"); trie.search("apple"); // return True trie.search("app"); // return False trie.startsWith("app"); // return True trie.insert("app"); trie.search("app"); // return True

Constraints

  • 1 <= word.length, prefix.length <= 2000
  • word and prefix consist only of lowercase English letters.
  • At most 3 * 10^4 calls in total will be made to insert, search, and startsWith.
