Given a dictionary of strings dict[] and a character array arr[]. Print all valid words of the dictionary that are possible using characters from the given character array.
Examples:

Input: dict – [“go”, “bat”, “me”, “eat”, “goal”, boy”, “run”] 
arr[] = [‘e’, ‘o’, ‘b’, ‘a’, ‘m’, ‘g’, ‘l’]
Output: “go”, “me”, “goal”.
Explanation: Only all the characters of these three strings are present in the dictionary.

Input: Dict=  [“goa”, “bait”, “mess”, “ate”, “goal”, “girl”, “rain”]
arr[]= [‘s’, ‘o’, ‘t’, ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘g’, ‘l’, ‘i’, ‘r’]
Output: “goa”, “ate”, “goal”, “girl”

 

Approach: The problem can be solved by checking the characters of each string of the dictionary. If all the characters of a string is present then that string can be formed. Follow the steps mentioned below to solve the problem.

  • Concatenate all the characters and make a string.
  • Traverse each word in a string and find whether all the characters of each word are present in concatenated string or not.

Follow the illustration shown below for better understanding.

Illustration: Consider the example below.

dict[] = [“go”, “bat”, “eat”, “meat”, “goal”, “boy”, “run”],  
arr[] = [‘e’, ‘o’, ‘b’, ‘a’, ‘m’, ‘g’, ‘l’]

  • concatenated string= e o b a m g l
  • now if we traverse “go”
  • indexOf(“g”) in “eobamgl” is 5
  • indexOf(“o”) in “eobamgl” is 1
  • This means all the indexes are present. Hence we will print “go”
  • If any of the indexes are not present, that will not be included.
  • Similarly “me” and “goal” also satisfies the condition.

So the output is “go”, “goal” and “me”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++




// C++ code to implement the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print the words
void printWord(string str, string s) {
    for (int i = 0; i < str.size(); i++) {
        if (s.find(str[i]) == string::npos) {
            return;
        }
    }
    cout << str << endl;
}
 
// Function to find the words
void findWord(vector<string> str1, vector<char> str2) {
    string s = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < str2.size(); i++) {
        s += str2[i];
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < str1.size(); i++) {
        printWord(str1[i], s);
    }
}
 
int main() {
    vector<string> str1 = {"go", "bat", "me", "eat",
                "goal", "boy", "run"};
    vector<char> str2 = {'e', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'm', 'g', 'l'};
    findWord(str1, str2);
    return 0;
}

    }
  }

    String[] str1 = {"go", "bat", "me", "eat", "goal", "boy", "run"};
    char[] str2 = {'e', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'm', 'g', 'l'};
    findWord(str1, str2);
  }

    var str1 = ["go", "bat", "me", "eat",
                "goal", "boy", "run"];
    var str2 = ["e", "o", "b", "a", "m", "g", "l"];
    findWord(str1, str2);
</script>


Output

go
me
goal

Time Complexity: O(N * K) where N is the length of the dict[] and k is the length of arr[].
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
