Description
A prefix of a string is a substring starting at the beginning of the given string. The prefixes of "carbon" are: "c", "ca", "car", "carb", "carbo", and "carbon". Note that the empty string is not considered a prefix in this problem, but every non-empty string is considered to be a prefix of itself. In everyday language, we tend to abbreviate words by prefixes. For example, "carbohydrate" is commonly abbreviated by "carb". In this problem, given a set of words, you will find for each word the shortest prefix that uniquely identifies the word it represents.
In the sample input below, "carbohydrate" can be abbreviated to "carboh", but it cannot be abbreviated to "carbo" (or anything shorter) because there are other words in the list that begin with "carbo".
An exact match will override a prefix match. For example, the prefix "car" matches the given word "car" exactly. Therefore, it is understood without ambiguity that "car" is an abbreviation for "car" , not for "carriage" or any of the other words in the list that begins with "car".
Input
The input contains at least two, but no more than 1000 lines. Each line contains one word consisting of 1 to 20 lower case letters.
Output
The output contains the same number of lines as the input. Each line of the output contains the word from the corresponding line of the input, followed by one blank space, and the shortest prefix that uniquely (without ambiguity) identifies this word.
Sample Input
carbohydrate
cart
carburetor
caramel
caribou
carbonic
cartilage
carbon
carriage
carton
car
carbonate
Sample Output
carbohydrate carboh
cart cart
carburetor carbu
caramel cara
caribou cari
carbonic carboni
cartilage carti
carbon carbon
carriage carr
carton carto
car car
carbonate carbona

字典树，经典题，求最短唯一前缀。
题意：
给你若干个单词的字典，求字典中每一个单词的最短唯一前缀。
最短唯一前缀：找出这个单词中的一个前缀，要求这个前缀只在这个单词中出现过，并且要求这个前缀最短。
思路：
实际上就是找字典树中 前缀数域 为1的位置，输出到这个位置为止的字符串。
字典树这样定义，26个指向下一个位置的指针，1个num域，这个num代表以当前字符串为前缀的单词的数量。
这样只要找到num==1的位置即可（到这个位置只有一个单词通过，说明到当前位置为止的字符串是唯一的）。
代码：
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std; struct Tire{
Tire *next[];
int num; //记录以当前字符串为前缀的单词的数量
Tire() //构造函数初始化
{
int i;
for(i=;i<;i++)
next[i]=NULL;
num=;
}
};
Tire root;
char word[][]; //字典 void Insert(char word[]) //将单词word插入到字典树中
{
Tire *p = &root;
int i;
for(i=;word[i];i++){
int t = word[i] - 'a';
if(p->next[t]==NULL)
p->next[t]=new Tire;
p = p->next[t];
p->num++;
}
} void Find(char word[]) //找到单词word的最短唯一前缀并输出（假设一定存在，即查找num=1的位置，输出字符串）
{
Tire *p = &root;
int i;
for(i=;word[i];i++){
int t = word[i]-'a';
if(p->next[t]==NULL)
return ;
p = p->next[t];
printf("%c",word[i]);
if(p->num==)
return;
}
} int main()
{
int size=,i; //字典大小
while(scanf("%s",word[size])!=EOF){
//if(word[size][0]=='0') break;
Insert(word[size++]);
}
size--;
for(i=;i<=size;i++){ //查找每一个单词的最短唯一前缀
printf("%s ",word[i]);
Find(word[i]);
printf("\n");
}
return ;
}
